Yuppies
used to be the most famous popular cultural word. Yuppies is not just a
non-sense expression, it has a special meaning, which is middle top
class and young city players. In the so called concept of Yuppies, many
details can not be neglected. If you want to be a member of this group,
you even have to live based on a fixed material model.

Just like what Shawn Holley said in “Dictionary of 20th American Pop
Culture”, you have to own a exquisite and elegant Rolex watch.

Rolex used to imply that five well-carved fingers have already changed into a crown.

The history structure before and after has had a subtle change, which resulted in a paradox: the Rolex Perpetual,
which was an evidence of Yuppies culture, now has already replaced the
significance of Yuppies. Now, it seems that the existence of Yuppies is
the footnote of nowadays Rolex culture.

However, the history of Perpetual, which was launched by Rolex in
1929, is much longer than the Yuppies culture. Such self-winding watch,
which powered by tourbillion, has not only already well-known when it
was first launched as a precursor of self-winding watch, also brought a
“self-winding” revolution to the whole watch making industry.

Although Yuppies culture has become the past, until today, we can
still see all sorts of “Perpetual” dancing in the stage of Rolex.

Oyster Perpetual Deepsea

Never doubt its resistance to 3,900m. Rolex’s having the patent of
RINGLOCK can make sure that the watch can endure the biggest pressure
in the very deep sea, and you can adjust the length of the strap when
needed through the double extension system-even if you plan to wear the
watch outside the diving clothes, there will not be any problem.

The accurate RINGLOCK system, which Oyster Perpetual Deepsea
owns, consist of three special items, which are stainless steel circle,
blue crystal glass and the case back made of Titanium with high
resistance. The arch shaped blue crystal glass used on Oyster perpetual
deepsea  is much thicker than the ones used on other styles. The arch
design aims to take more pressure from mechanics point of view. The N
alloy circle with well function which is set into the case can fix the
case back very closely, so the quicksilver sea watch is just isolated.

 

The
helium release valve is another special design of this watch, which is
made of high quality stainless steel and closely connected with the
case. The air getting into the watch during deepsea diving can be
released from the watch when the diver reduce the pressure. The head
with triple lock can be screwed down just like the doors of submariner,
and it also lock three separated closed o rings tightly and stop watch
and other things to get in.

This sea-dweller deepsea is also assembled single direction rotary
outer ring and with a black 60 mins ring consisted of the word
“CERACHROM”, making the divers can control the diving time accurately,
while the numbers and scale are both carved on CERACHROM, which is
filled in platinum  through the PVD technology patented by Rolex.
Meanwhile, due to the usage of a new luminous material which can emit
blue light, therefore, the triangle zero indication on the outer scale
can be seen for a longer time in the midnight or deepsea. For
increasing the visibility, the same luminous material is also used on
the hands.

Day-Date II

In 1956, Rolex presented the first watch which can completely show
the date and day. Its launch triggered a hot reaction and attracted
many top people’s attention. As the second generation of Day-Date, the
Day-Date still keeps the perfect watchmaking technology which Rolex
always pursues, and it is specially created for those elegant and
creative men.

The Day-Date inherits the traditional characteristics of Oyster
Perpetual Day-Date and fully shows the accurate watchmaking technology
of Rolex. There are 18ct gold, white gold, perpetual rose gold or
platinum to choose, and it is water resistant to 100m.

The case diameter of Day-Date is 41mm and its movement uses PARCHROM
hairspring which is highly anti-knocking and anti-magnetic and the new
PARAFLEX knocking reducing setting, making the watch own accurate
function and excellent reliability. To give prominence to its
characteristics, the Day-Date II owns a face which is either modern or
traditional, to suit beauty taste and can be also worn in different
occasions.
