His heart beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, or 480 beats per minute!
It is COSC certified : The Official Offices of the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Control) were founded in 1973 in La Chaux-de-Fonds and it is an independent organization that guarantees the Swiss manufacturing tradition of precision.
Its 40 mm diameter is ideal and crosses all the eras.
Its 12.8 mm thickness makes it a perfectly watch that can be worn in all circumstances.
The sapphire crystal will protect it from possible shocks.
In the early 2000s, Rolex began using bracelets equipped with Solid End Links (SEL), more robust and more comfortable.
The model presented is a Mark III series launched in 2003.
The horns are no longer pierced and the inscription 16610 T is engraved between the horns at 12:00.

The 0 of 1000 ft and 300 m are still ovoid before the Mark IV series in 2006, where they will take a round shape.
The watch is sold with its box in green leather and its papers of origin.
This watch is the perfect model to start the adventure of collectible watches.
