Baselworld 2010: Rolex
By Jocke
I guess it was not the year when Rolex have try to suprise the customers with some sparkling news. There was a new 31 mm Lady DateJust model, new maybe is a strog word to use in this case. The new is it has a new gem set bezel with 24 or 48 brilliants. There will be a new dial with a gem set 6 o'clock hour marker.
A blinged mini rootbeer for your ol lady, the chocolate dial?
The SS Submariner in the "supercase" with maxi dial/hands. Now there is the blue luminescent called Chromalight instead of Luminova.
The green SS model is same as the black one and those watches have the Cerachrom ceramic bezel inset and the movement now
have the blue Parachrome hairspring. The Glidelock clasp is new for this model too.
The Blue WG Submariner with diamonds index's.
A drumroll for........................
The only new model this year from Rolex. The 39 mm Explorer instead of 36 mm as the old one. With a matte dial and numbers
without paint. A new movement with a perpetual rotor (what that means), Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers. I
guess it will have the blue luminescent called Chromalight instead of Luminova.
Tudor come up with something that get my attention this year. Back to the roots, a vintage looking Tudor Heritage.
The original one in 40 mm.
And the new one in 42 mm. It have a Valjoux 7734 movement with a Dubois-dépraz 2054 module for the chronograph.
The grey dial.
The black dial.
It comes with both bracelet and a nylon strap.
