Rolex Day-Date by Guido Mondani,Giorgia Mondani Pdf

PRESENTATION: ROLEX DAY-DATE, THE “PRESIDENT’S WATCH” The Rolex Day-Date is the first wristwatch which indicates the date and the day of the week. In 1956 Rolex presents one of its most successful and most popular watches ever: the Day-Date,. This model is one of the world’s most famous Rolex watches; classic, beautiful, functional, useful and elegant. In 2008 a new chapter of this watch, the Day-date II (ø 41 mm) and in 2015 the new Day-Date 40. Known as “President’s Watch”, this Rolex Day-Date has characterized and influenced the history of horology with developments and innovations during the years.With high definition unreleased images, technical details, dials variants, history and updated price of every model, this book analyses every reference from 1956 until today. TOPICS In this book the authors examine calibers, dials, cases, bracelets and many more components of every model. You’ll find all dials with their variants of color (Stella dial) and material(lapis lazuli, root wood, meteorite, etc). Furthermore: the first Rolex Day-Date, 1800 series, “pie-pan” dials, 18000 series, personalized dials, special series, vintage advertisements, box, papers, Oysterquartz Day-Date, 18200 and 18300 series,Day-Date II, Day-Date 40 and much more. We can read from an official Rolex document: « THE BIRTH OF THE “DATEJUST” AND THE “DAY-DATE” Not satisfied with having realized a selfwinding waterproof watch, we decided to dedicate ourselves to studying the calendar watch. This is how the “Datejust”, which clearly indicates the date on the dial in a small aperture with a Cyclops lens which enlarges it so as tomake it easier to read, was born. The next stage was the launch of the “Day-Date”, a perfected model which also indicates, with letters, the days of the week. The day and the date automatically change every evening at midnight. » These are the words of Roger Federer, a living tennis legend, about his Day-Date II: “The reason I like my Day-Date so much is because it is a legendary watch, elegant but with a certain spirit, with a touch ofmodernity added to its stylish black dial”.

PRESENTATION: HOW TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE ROLEX GMT-MASTER The GMT-Master was created to meet the needs of Pan American Airways to supply its pilots with a wristwatch able to indicate the time back home and the time in their arrival destination simultaneously.

It is from this point that the request arose from Pan Am to Rolex, to create a new watch for modern age aviators: a watch with two time zones. The name GMT-Master was chosen… Are you a watch collector and you need information about the Rolex GMT-Master? Are you a watch dealer and you want to know exactly what you are buying and selling?

100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger,Giampiero Negretti Pdf

William Kennedy (1814–1890) was an explorer and fur trader. In 1851 he was recommended to Lady Franklin as the commander of her second sponsored expedition in search of her husband, Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin (1786–1847), who had not returned from his 1845 expedition to chart the remaining unexplored section of the Arctic and the Northwest Passage. This volume, first published in 1853, contains Kennedy's account of his 1851 Arctic expedition to rescue Sir John Franklin. Written in the form of a diary, Kennedy describes in detail the hazardous conditions of the Arctic. The crew's experiences including snow blindness, frostbite, scurvy and explorations of land on foot accompanied by Husky dogs are described in detail. Kennedy's use of Inuit survival methods and the type of provisions which were used are also described, providing valuable insights into early nineteenth century methods of Arctic exploration.
