Philanthropy and sports are two genres where Rolex has created a niche for itself. Rolex is best known the world over for its luxury watches that are committed towards combining functionality with comfort. However, by its involvement in philanthropic initiatives and support of major sports events, Rolex is now a well-recognized associate in both fields. A television heartthrob who has been actively involved in philanthropy and sports is the Desperate Housewives star James Denton. His band, the Band From TV, is dedicated towards supporting charities worldwide. He is not only an avid baseball fan but is also the co-owner of the Golden Baseball League Team, The Fullerton Flyers. A watch from the Rolex collection which can be an ideal counterpart of sports enthusiasts is the Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph which has a rotatable bezel for the measurement of time spans.

James Denton has been a lifelong fan of baseball and joined the Orange County investment group that presented him the opportunity to be co-owner of the Fullerton Flyers, which is now known as the Orange County Flyers, in 2007. The baseball enthusiast was not content with simply being the co-owner of the team and took an initiative by attending try-outs, home games and also played selector to some of the players. James Denton got world-wide recognition for his role as Mike Delfino in the series Desperate Housewives. Soon after he joined the series in 2004, the ratings went up and shortly after he was included in People Magazine’s 2004 “Sexiest Men Alive� issue. James Denton’s band is taking up most of his time these days. The charity Band From TV has already scheduled a performance at the Fallsview Casino Resort located in Niagra Falls, Canada in March 2010. All the proceeds of the band are donated towards  charities like the Epilepsy Foundation and Save The Children. He is also actively involved with charities like Actors and Others for Animals, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Cure Autism Now, Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and Fragile X.

Rolex too has been involved in promoting human excellence, be it through its Rolex Mentor Protégé Arts Initiative or by sponsoring sports events like golf, eventing, sailing and sports car racing. The Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph has been specially designed to measure periods of elapsed time that makes it an ideal symbol for any sports enthusiast. The bezel can be rotated in both directions to facilitate the measurement of periods of elapsed time. The Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph is a part of the Oyster collection from Rolex, which means the watch is water-resistant down to depths of 100m. The Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph is available in variations of steel and 18 ct yellow, white and Everose gold, of which the steel and white gold combination is the most impressive. The chronometer is officially certified by the COSC. The gold exudes purity as it has been processed at Rolex’s own unique foundry. The timepiece comes in a comfortable size of 36mm and has a white dial. The inclusion of such features is what gives Rolex timepieces the edge and reputation they have gathered since 1905.

Each new collection rolled out by Rolex not only outdoes its rivals but also outshines its previous collections. It is almost as though Rolex is obsessed with perfection, almost as much as the character of Bree Hodge or Bree Van de Camp played by Marcia Cross in the television series Desperate Housewives. Each timepiece manufactured by Rolex is a symbol of perfection and just when one thinks that they have reached their limit, they roll out a whole new collection of timepieces that takes perfection to the next level. The 2009 collection of Rolex features the timepiece Rolex Datejust Royal Pink. This timepiece is a pink version of their existent Rolex Datejust Royal Black timepiece.

Taking perfection to the next level is the beautiful Marcia Cross who outdoes her own performance with each season of Desperate Housewives. Born Marcia Anne Cross, the actress first gained popularity as Dr. Kimberly Shaw on the show Melrose Place. Marcia Cross holds a master’s degree in psychology. She turned her attention towards acting in 1984 with her first soap opera The Edge of Night. Marcia Cross gained worldwide recognition with her character Bree Hodge who is an obsessive compulsive with excellent homemaking skills. She has portrayed the complexity of the character so beautifully that it won her a Satellite Award for Best Actress in a Television Series in 2006 and two SAG awards in 2005 and 2006. She has also been recognized with nominations at the Emmys and the Golden Globe Awards. She also found herself on the list of TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly’s 100 Greatest TV Icons in 2007. After leaving the show Melrose Place that first catapulted her to success she made appearances on shows like Seinfeld, Cheers, Ally McBeal, Spin City, CSI, Everwood and Touched by an Angel. She is currently starring in the seventh season of Desperate Housewives.

The Rolex Datejust Royal Pink is part of the latest collection of Rolex timepieces. The timepiece gets its fabulous pink color due to the use of 18ct Everose gold. The beads of Everose gold have platinum inside which gives the timepiece an everlasting pink color that shall not fade with time. The dial is set with diamonds in a mesmerizing pattern with pink overtones. The hour and second hands too are pink in color. The strap is made of stingray leather and makes for an attractive and cozy fit. The strap is also adorned with brilliants with a hint of pink. The bezel has baguette diamonds set on it. The chronometer is a superlative officially certified by the COSC, a certification that can be earned only if the timepiece displays precision in a variety of conditions even when subjected to tests for 15 days and nights. The Rolex Datejust Royal Pink timepiece has an oyster case back to protect the movement from any kind of pressure, shocks and dust. The entire oyster collection from Rolex is water resistant down to depths of 100m/330 feet. The Rolex Datejust Royal Pink is also part of the oyster collection and displays the same water resistance. With innovations included that guarantee a lifetime of perfect performance, Rolex’s obsession with perfection is a delight for watch enthusiasts the world over.
