When we talk about Hong Kong movies in the 1980s and 1990s, we will inevitably discuss the gangster movie "Young and Dangerous" that left a deep memory in the hearts of a generation. Chen Haonan, played by the long-haired Ekin Cheng, and Brother Pheasant, played by Jordan Chan, performed happy grudges and fights between rivers and lakes, which will be left in the youth of a generation. Suddenly, the "Hong Kong wind" spread all over the country. In addition to the distinctive personalities of the characters in the movie, what left a deep impression on the audience was the Rolex watches that frequently appeared in the movie. Today I will recommend several timeless classic Rolexes to you.
Rolex is a famous Swiss watch manufacturer. The original logo of a Rolex watch was a palm with five fingers spread out. It means that the brand's watches are completely crafted by hand, and then gradually evolved. It is the registered trademark of Crown to show its dominance in the watch field and to demonstrate Rolex’s imperial aura in the watchmaking industry. Rolex is not only full of innovative spirit, but also full of persistent pursuit of perfection. For Rolex, “morality” is by no means empty words. The design style of Rolex watches is "stable, practical, and not flashy" and is highly regarded by people. Its accuracy and durability make Rolex extremely valuable. In the 1920s, Rolex worked hard to develop the first waterproof watch. In 1926, Rolex's Oyster waterproof watch was officially registered.
Rolex Cosmograph Daytona
Speaking of chronographs, we have to mention the "legendary watch" in the Rolex family series - Daytona. Daytona, specially developed for professional drivers, first appeared in 1963 and quickly became a symbol of racing watches. The unique patented timing mechanical structure and the outer ring of the speed scale, while controlling timing, have also become the unique logo of Daytona, and even become one of the labels of Rolex's deeply rooted image.
Accuracy is the most important requirement of a driver’s chronograph. The Cosmograph Daytona chronograph also has a short-distance timing function that is accurate to 1/8 second. The speedometer scale on the outer ring reads real-time speed data after driving a certain distance, making timing more reliable and accurate. The silver stainless steel bezel is equipped with an outer scale speedometer, which is strong yet elegant in design. What makes this watch even more unique is the crisp "click" sound.
The spring created by Rolex's high-tech technology allows your finger to press the button and start the real-time timing device with a crisp "click" sound. Those who pursue speed and elegance need a unique chronograph. You may wish to collect this chronograph with powerful chronograph functions, thick yet elegant design, and a wonderful listening experience. Rolex 4130 chronograph movement, sapphire mirror, Oyster strap, waterproof depth of 100 meters, excellent performance at a glance.
As the leader of legendary watches, the Oyster is by far the most recognized and easily identifiable watch. Over time, it has become recognized as the representative of modern watches. The Oyster is the culmination of Rolex’s watchmaking technology and expertise. Over the years, this watch has undergone many aesthetic improvements, but its unquestionable design features have always been respected and retained.
