Superlative Chronometer
The four simple words Superlative Chrono-

timepiece’s dial mean that the movement of
this watch has endured 15 days and nights
of testing by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel
Suisse des Chronomètres), an independent
not-for-profit association. To receive COSC
certification, a watch must demonstrate

the Rolex bracelet as the Rolex movement.
Its over 100 moving parts are conceived
and crafted simultaneously to ensure per-
fect homogeneity and fluidity. Edges are
sculpted and smoothed for comfort. The
clasp is designed for easier opening and
closing. The length can also be individually
adjusted, providing perfect fit. But only af-
