Perfect unity

Have you ever wondered why a mechanical watch goes "tick-tock"? The ticking is produced by the escapement, a strategic part that plays a key role in the movement's measurement of time.

This mechanism is a triumph of microtechnology consisting of components that must interact within tolerances of a few microns. Its complex and exacting production process calls on all of the brand's vast know-how and ingenuity. Essentially, the challenge is to produce components of the highest precision to ensure their near-seamless interaction.

Therefore, another ingredient is crucial: lubrication. Rolex has therefore developed an exclusive new lubricant, which has a considerably longer useful life and greater stability over time. It allows lengthened service intervals and increases the reliability and performance of the watches in the long run.
