Rolex is well known for manufacturing watches that can sustain any type of pressure and climatic conditions. There are specific models that are manufactured for deep sea diving, mountain climbing, aviation and other adventure sports. The early models that catered to the above mentioned sports were Rolex Submariner and the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Sea Dweller. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Sea Dweller was a special watch that was manufactured in collaboration with Swiss watch maker Doxa to withstand deep sea pressure. Together they came up with an innovative helium release valve in the watch to release helium gas during decompression.

On the other hand there were watches like The Explorer and Explorer II that were created specifically for those who navigate through coarse terrain. Both the watches were a part of the highly famous Mount Everest expeditions because they would still give uninterrupted performance even in such rough weather. On request from the Pan-Am Airways, Rolex designed or custom made one of its most famous and sought after models: The Rolex GMT master. This watch was particularly made for pilots who were crossing different time zones while flying transcontinental flights.

The Rolex GMT Master is still manufactured and in 2005 it underwent a make over and is now renamed as Rolex GMT Master II (50th anniversary edition).

People who know how to appreciate the finer things in life will know the value of owning Rolex watches. These are time machines that have stood the test of time and they will always remain in vogue for many more generations to come.
