From 1958 to the present day. With its Oyster case, smooth bezel and characteristic 3, 6 and 9 numerals combined with a minutes scale, the @Rolex Air-King displays aeronautically inspired aesthetics. The name Air-King on the dial remains in the same original lettering than when first launched.

March’s Birthstone Aquamarine • Aquamarine is not only the birthstone for March, but the gem is also given as a present on the 19th wedding anniversary. Aquamarine’s name comes from the Latin for seawater, and ancient mariners claimed the gem would calm waves and keep sailors safe at sea. This March birthstone was also thought to bring happiness in marriage. • #marchbirthstone #finejewelry #aqua #aquamarine
The @Rolex Sea-Dweller is a technical watch designed for the pioneers of professional deep-sea diving. It is equipped with the helium escape valve, patented in 1967, that protects the watch during a diver’s decompression phase. Subsequently improved in close partnership with Comex (Compagnie Maritime d’Expertises) professionals, it is now waterproof to 1,220 metres (4,000 feet). The Triplock winding crown – fitted with a triple waterproofness system and protected by a crown guard – screws down securely against the hermetic Oyster case, providing increased water resistance. The rotatable bezel is equipped with a 60-minute graduated Cerachrom insert in black ceramic, and the Chromalight display ensures legibility in dark underwater conditions. A legend among diving watches. #Rolex #SeaDweller #OfficialRolexRetailer
Introduced in 2005, the @Rolex Paraflex shock absorber is designed to neutralize all the effects of the knocks and bumps of everyday life. No bigger than a grain of rice, the Paraflex moves one way and then the other, all within a fraction of a second. On the one hand, it bends at each impact to disperse the energy, then returns to its original shape. On the other, it displaces itself to ensure the functionality of the balance wheel and escapement anchor. It is through this unique ballet of deformation and displacement that the Paraflex preserves the watch’s movement with its own. #Rolex #Watchmaking #OfficialRolexRetailer
