Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 1500 men’s wrist watch  is without a doubt   a classic vintage  watch; versatile and understated. With its Rolex-stamped, original folded- stainless Oyster link bracelet and clasp, it represents the very best of the brand's quality and tradition.  The Rolex Oyster was first introduced in 1926. Beginning as the first waterproof and dust-proof wristwatch designed specifically for professional use.

The mechanism features a lever escapement, 26 jewels, mono-metallic balance, adjusted to 5 positions  and KIF shock-absorber, beating at a rate of 19,800 BPH.

The evolution of the Rolex Oyster inspired some of the most historically important wristwatches, surviving the harshest of conditions. From 35,000 ft. below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, to the summit of Mount Everest, without losing a beat. There aren’t many mechanical timepieces that have contributed more to the advancement of horological design, nor clearer defined Rolex’s reputation for excellence. Many have tried to replicate its success, but no manufacturer since, has consistently produced mechanical timepieces that endure everyday wear as well as a Rolex.

  This watch will make you feel very proud while wearing it and you will be satisfied to know that you chose elegance and quality.
