Without much introduction to the name Rolex, many people would know what it means. Preferred by businessmen as a confirmation of their social status, the famous Rolex brand is a globally appreciated trademark, being ranked on the 71 position of the 100 most valuable brands in the world, by the Business Magazine in 2007. The watches are always improving today as watches from the world best known watch brand.
Each collection introduced by Rolex on the market was reviewed as being excellent, both in terms of technical performance and aesthetic features. Rolex is nowadays producing more then 2000 timepieces per day from its ateliers; all these watches are manufactured by talented watch makers who dedicate the utmost attention and care to the hand-assembling process. Most of the watches are equipped with movements designed exclusively by Rolex, so you can imagine that both their quality and their amazing progressive functions are indisputable.
The models presented by Rolex are referred to as the Rolex Explorer Watch and the Rolex GMT Master Watch, both sharing similar features of design, while performing slightly different functions.
The Rolex Explorer Watch was created in a sporty, yet classy manner and was especially created to face harsh conditions. The first model of Explorer was introduced back in 1953 and it featured a case of only 36 mm in diameter. The new version uses a 40 mm in diameter case, equipped with a fixed bezel, having inscribed on it Arabic numerals. The case is made of stainless steel and the dial can be either white, or black. Depending on the dial, the hands are chosen in the opposite color, to assure the sporty and modern contrast and also, a date window is located traditionally at the 3 o'clock position. Regarding the technical movement equipping this Rolex Explorer Watch we can say that is highly accurate, providing a second-time zone function, along with the date function, making of it a perfectly reliable travel companion watch. The Rolex Explorer II is equipped with the Caliber 3185 movement, exclusively designed by Rolex.
The other timepiece we're presenting today is strikingly similar to the Explorer II, some of the differences being its rotating bezel and its ability to sustain three time-zones, not just two. Given the rotating bezel of the new Rolex GMT Master II, the case seems to have bigger dimensions, even though its case measures 40 mm in diameter. The design of the new GMT Master II approaches a more pretentious look, with its ceramics dial and bracelet made of pink gold or stainless steel, but with intertwined ceramic links. The movement equipping this watch goes by the name of Calibre 3186, providing 100 meters of water resistance.
Both these watches are exquisite items of watch manufacturing and their prices can only suffice their great reputation. Rolex watches are sure to be expensive owing to their reputation and their quality. If you decide to acquire any of the two, be sure to have a little over $5000 with you, as the estimate prices go as follows: the Rolex Explorer Watch priced at $7, 700 and the Rolex GMT Master II Watch, priced at $6,900. The prices of the two watches here are at the normal level of Rolex watches.
