True to Rolex’s philosophy of producing highly reliable timepieces for professionals, this model was conceived as a speleologist’s watch. The generous amount of luminous details on the dial, and the very bright orange 24-hour hand are features dedicated to these researchers who spend, at times, days underground in complete dark.
