Rolex Oyster perpetual submariner, French book

Description: Rolex Oyster perpetual submariner, French book Rolex Oyster perpetual submariner, French book This hardcover book with 252 color pages presents the SUBMARINER watch from ROLEX. Swiss watchmaker Rolex has partnered with global design authority Wallpaper to publish the first authorized history of the Oyster Perpetual Submariner watch. The book is a wide-rangiang account of the Submariner, the first divers' watch guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet), a true breakthrough. Foulkes chronicles the remarkable technical innovation that went into creating the watch alongside the adventures of an extraordinary collection of pioneers who tested prototypes. The Submariner, the archetype of the divers' watch, epitomizes the historic link between Rolex and underwater exploration. Over time it has evolved into an iconic timepiece whose renown extends well beyond the marine world, becoming the true action watch of choice for a wide range of sports and other activities. As the book's title indicates, the Submariner truly unlocked the deep. Rolex defied underwater pressure by creating watches that could go ever deeper. Subsequent models became benchmarks in the diving world, namely the Sea-Dweller (1967), the Rolex Deepsea (2008) and the Oyster Perpetual Deepsea Challenge (2022) that can descend as far as 11,000 metres (36,090 feet). The book also includes Rolex Testimonees who are featured through the prism of Rolex's Perpetual Planet Initiative, which supports organizations and individuals involved in the exploration and protection of the environment. An iconic watch ever since its launch, the Submariner is instantly recognizable. Its design has remained virtually the same throughout time, while its technical capacities have been steadily enhanced. Contents:Introduction, The vision of Hans WilsdorfI.
