Extreme Situations Require Extreme Rolex Watches and Rolex Watch Bands
After producing the first waterproof watch, Wilsdorf produced a special Rolex watch that could be attached to the "Bathyscaphe Trieste" submarine.

In 1960, when the ship plunged to a depth of 10,900m in the Marian Trench, Wilsdorf received a telegram from one of the captains on the boat: "I am happy to confirm that at 11,000 meters the watch is as precise as on the surface. Regards, Jacques Piccard".

Oyster was first introduced by Rolex in the 1930s and is now one of the most popular types of bracelets.

The secret of success is high durability due to strong triple joining. It is extremely popular in the watch industry.

The Oyster band is excellent. It has three holes for micro regulation. The great solution is the mentioned Easylink, which allows extending the length of the bracelet by 5 mm, which is especially useful in summer when the wrist can swell a little.

Potential users of this model who intend to take great care of the watch during use should be warned that the Oyster bracelet has polished middle links and clasp.
