Extraordinary Heights Of Success – Michael Jordan And Rolex Submariner

Michael Jordan

Standing in the pinnacle of success is not that easy for every other individual on this planet. A minor lot of mortals in this earth are blessed with the ability to conquer the impossible zones of success. The strength of a primitive human is incomparable with the strength of a human in the 21st century. However, there are a few chosen ones who are armored with the ability to deliver their outstanding performances in all of their respective fields. The Rolex Submariner was built for such chosen lot who never believe in quitting. The Rolex Submariner escalates the spirit of ruggedness and the spirit of ‘never say die’. Being able to resist the toughest battles in life is what makes it congruent for the true fighters and winners of life. The Rolex Submariner is probably the best company a professional can boast of.

The Rolex Submariner was introduced in the year 1953. It was the first Rolex timepiece which was made to resist a water pressure under a height of 100 meters. Few years later, its strength was increased by incorporating the Triplock winding crown, which was patented by Rolex. The Triplock winding crown enabled the Rolex Submariner to withstand a depth of up to 300 meters. The Rolex Submariner is comfortably sealed in an oyster case. This particular oyster case has been built after putting it through a torque of five Newton meters. This in turn protects this unique Rolex timepiece from all kinds of shocks, dust, pressure, water or any other hostile elements. The Rolex Oyster is visible only to a few authorized people. Authorized Rolex retailers with the essential know-how and skills are the only ones who are allowed to see the Rolex oyster.

Rolex Submariner

In 1926, Rolex came out with the Oyster case in 1926. Later on 1953, Rolex invented and patented the Triplock winding crown in order to provide the watch further protection. In 1970, Rolex increased the water resistance of the Rolex Submariner after introducing the Triplock winding crown. The Triplock winding crown is made from ten different reliable elements. Once the elements are assembled, they settle down as tightly as a submarine hatch in the watch. The unidirectional rotatable bezel is another unique feature of a Rolex Submariner. The graduations in the watch provide an accurate indication of diving time for the professional divers. In order to avoid the overestimation of diving time and the amount of breathing mix in the tanks, the bezel moves counterclockwise. Keeping in mind the comfort factor, the Rolex Submariner has a Glidelock clasp which enables the divers to adjust the length of the bracelet to fit over their 3 mm thick suit.

American professional basketball star Michael Jordan’s abilities are no less than a Rolex Submariner watch. This 6ft 6 inch basketball star was the man behind popularizing NBA all over the world in the 1980s and 1990s. He was popular as “Air Jordan” and “His Airness”. He was also known as the best defensive players in basketball. He has bagged five MVP awards, ten All-NBA First Team designations, nine All-defensive First Team honors, fourteen NBA-All Star Game Appearances. Three All-Star Game MVP awards, ten scoring titles, three steal titles, six NBA Finals MVP Awards and the 1988 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award.
