Resplendent With Magnanimous Depth – The Rolex Submariner And Joseph “Joe” Satriani

rolex-oyster-perpetual-submarinerThe Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner is ultimate timepiece chosen by the professionals who have a taste for style and a unique depth in it. When it was introduced in the year in 1953 by Rolex, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner was the first watch to be water-resistant up to a height of 100 meters under the water bed. Few years later, it was strengthened by the incorporation of the Triplock winding crown which was patented by Rolex itself. The Triplock winding crown made the Rolex Oyster perpetual Submariner even stronger by allowing it to withstand a depth of 300 meters under water.

The Rolex Oyster case is another feature of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner which makes it a unique Rolex timepiece. Authorized Rolex retailers with the necessary know-how, skills and equipments are the only ones to gain access inside a Rolex Oyster. Completely sealed to the case with a massive force of five newton meters, the back of any Oyster, as this caseback demonstrates, creates an environment that protects the movement of the watch from all kinds of hostile elements like pressure, shocks, dust, water etc. The Oyster case was invented in the year 1926 by Rolex to protect the movement of the watch from water and dust.

Rolex created and patented the Twinlock winding crown in the year 1953 in order to ensure further protection of the watch for professional divers. The guarantee of waterproofness of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner was increased by introducing the Triplock winding crown in 1970. It is made up of ten different elements which have been crafted from the most reliable materials. Once all these elements are put together, the screw down as tightly to the watch as a submarine hatch. The unidirectional rotatable bezel is an important functionality of this unique Rolex watch.

The graduations in the bezel provide the professional divers with an accurate indication of diving time. For keeping up with the safety issue, the bezel rotates only counterclockwise in order to avoid overestimation of dive time or the amount of breathing mix remaining in the tanks. The luminescent capsule ensures the legibility even in the darkest environments. A bezel with a blue, black or green Cerachrom insert graces the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner 40 mm case. Made and fashioned from extremely hard ceramic material, the Rolex Cerachrom insert has brilliant corrosion resistant properties. The color of the Cerachrom insert remains unaffected by ultraviolet rays and it is virtually scratchproof.

Lightening With Popularity – Rolex Milgauss And Zakk Wylde

rolex-milgaussIn order to meet the demands of the scientific community, Rolex designed the Rolex Milgauss. The Rolex Milgauss was introduced in the year 1956. It was capable of withstanding magnetic fields of up to 1000 gauss. After being put through a number of rigorous tests by the CERN engineers, it earned the reputation of perfect magnetic field. The Rolex Milgauss featured these days contains a Parachrom hairspring that provides additional protection to the watch from all kinds of magnetic effects. The major feature which makes the Rolex Milgauss a perfect magnetic shield is the shield protecting the movement of the watch.

Especially made from selected ferromagnetic alloys which were chosen by Rolex itself, this efficient shielding system consists of two components. One is screwed to the movement and the other one to the Oyster case. Only Rolex-certified watchmmakers will ever see it. However, the symbol for magnetic flux density – the capital letter ‘B’ with an arrow which is engraved in this magnetic shield. The Rolex Milguass works in magnetic field of up to 1000 gauss and thus it has acquired its name as Milgauss. In French, ‘mile’ means ‘thousand’, and Gauss is a magnetic field measurement. With its clean lines and orange colored second hand shaped like a lightening bolt makes the Rolex Milgauss recognizable from a distance.

The Rolex Milgauss GV features a black dial with a luminescent orange hour markers at 3, 6 and 9 o’ clock interspersed with white hours markers. A green sapphire crystal with a lime twist generates light reflections besides preserving optimal legibility. The Rolex Milgauss is another Rolex timepiece which has been inspired by its corporate brand color. Rolex has always used 904L steel for its steel watch cases. Usually, 904L steel is used in the chemical industry for complete protection from corrosion. 904L steel combines with other precious metals used by Rolex quite nicely. 904L steel is extremely resistant and highly polishable.

zakk-wyldeThe precision of a watch heavily depends upon the regularity of a watch’s oscillator. The conventional hairsprings used in the watches are made of ferromagnetic alloys which make them highly vulnerable to magnetic fields and shocks. Ater five years of extensive research carried out by Rolex, it invented the blue Parachrom hairspring. Crafted from a paramagnetic alloy, it is unaffected by magnetic fields and is 10 times more resistant to shocks. The blue color of the hairspring has always been regarded as the sign of prestige reserved for only the most accurate timepieces in the world. Flashing like the lightening bolt in the stage, American musician, songwriter, and the former guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne,  Zachary Phillip “Zakk” Wylde and his guitar riffs still buzz in the ears of Ozzy fans.

On January 17, 2006, Zakk Wylde was recognized at the Hollywood Rock Walk of Fame, featuring his handprints and signature, in recognition of his successful career as a musician and his contribution to the music industry.
