The Perfect Fit In Their Job – Rolex Deepsea And Willem Dafoe

rolex-deepseaGoing deep under the secrets always helps in carving out the mystery underneath it. That’s what has always been the primary goal for the mankind. Men have never stopped in taking a deep dive into the mysteries of nature. Rolex has been a pioneer in exhibiting the might of the human race in all its years of creating some of the most unique timepieces in the history of timekeeping on earth. It is always Rolex when it comes to quality, style, design and superior technology with respect to world class timekeeping. The Rolex Deepsea is nothing different from it in this regard.

The Role Deepsea was specially designed for extreme underwater exploration. With a sensitive three-piece architecture called the Ringlock system, the Rolex Deepsea is enabled to withstand monstrous pressures even at depths of 3900 meters under the water surface. The Rolex Deepsea also has a bezel inlaid with a virtually scratch-resistant black Cerachrom disc and a titanium caseback. This unique watch also features a bracelet with a double extension system for a perfect fit. The Ringlock system was patented by Rolex itself. Since its inception, it has been the symbol of technical superiority. It is one of the most unique features developed by Rolex in years.

Indestructible nitrogen-alloyed steel supports the ring from the inside. The Ringlock system is often considered to be the backbone of the Rolex Deepsea, it can withstand a pressure that has the ability to crush an entire submarine. Providing incredible reinforcement to the outside of the watch, a dense 5mm dome-shaped sapphire crystal protects the face of the watch. Made from high purity aluminum-oxide, the Rolex Deepsea can withstand three metric tons of pressure even at a depth of 3900 meters. A titanium caseback also seals the watch tightly. This makes the watch even more impenetrable.

willem-dafoeBefore going back out in the open air, a professional diver who returns to the surface after a deep dive must spend time in a decompression chamber. In a decompression chamber, he needs to breathe a gas mixture containing helium. In the chamber, helium, being a light volatile gas, infiltrates everywhere, also penetrating the watch. It escapes from the watch at a slower rate than the reduction of pressure in the chamber, with the result that the pressure of the helium imprisoned inside the watch is so great that it can cause irreparable damage to the watch. The Helium valve created by the Rolex engineers helps in maintaining the balance inside the compression chamber properly.

This helps in protecting the Rolex Deepsea from further damage. Just like the unique features of the Rolex Deepsea, American actor and voice artist, Willem Dafoe, has been one of the most noted actors in the world of cinema. Willem Dafoe is known for films like  “Platoon”, “Affliction”, “Off Limits”, “Streets of Fire”, “To Live and Die in L.A.”, “Born on the Fourth of July”, “The English Patient”, “The Last Temptation of Christ”, “Mississippi Burning”, “The Boondock Saints”, “Spider-Man”, and “The Aviator”.

Exploring New Avenues Adventure – Rolex Explorer And Mike Shinoda

michael-kenji-e28098mikee28099-shinodaAdventure has been one of the most popular sports in a human life. Those who take the onus to participate in the game, they do know one thing about the game – there are extreme high and lows of victories and defeats and there can be endless suffering if there is no will to survive. Being adventurous has its own implications. Some go lucky and others tend to succumb to the worst implications of the Mother Nature. Incorporating the adventurous spirit in its design and style, the Rolex Explorer exhibits a perfect blend of rugged and strong features coupled with unique style and technology. Rolex Explorer is considered to be one of the most sought after Rolex timepieces in the world.

The Rolex Explorer has accompanied a number of expeditions all around the world since 1971. Featuring a 24-hour hand, it is an invaluable asset for speleologists and polar explorers all over the world. This feature also helps in differentiating day time from night time while exploring in some corner of the world. The Chromalight display on the dial of the Rolex Explorer breaks all boundaries of visibility in the darkest environment. The blue glow of the watch lasts up to eight hours. This is perhaps twice the period of luminescence provided by other luminescent materials in other watches. Just like most of the Rolex timepieces, the Rolex Explorer caseback is made up of 904L steel which is primarily used in the chemical industry.

904L steel helps in resisting all kinds’ corrosive elements. It is a super alloy and is highly polishable and extremely resistant. Another unique feature of this Rolex timepiece is the Parachrom hairspring. Conventional oscillator hairsprings are made up of ferromagnetic alloys which increase the vulnerability of a watch towards shocks and magnetic fields. The Parachrom hairspring, created by Rolex itself after five years of research, makes the Rolex Explorer 10 times more resistant to magnetic fields and shocks. The blue color of the Parachrom hairspring indicates the fact that the Rolex Explorer is one of the most accurate timepieces in the world.rolex-explorer The 24 hour hand of the watch has returned back to the arrow shape and the orange color of the classic 1971 model.

The four simple words of SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED engraved in the watch reiterate the fact that the watch has gone through 15 rigorous days and 15 rigorous nights of testing by the COSC. A watch needs to show extreme precision in order to get COSC certification. Extremely precise in his music, Michael Kenji ‘Mike’ Shinoda has earned the reputation as being one of the ‘coolest’ musicians in the world. He is an American musician, record producer, and artist. Michael Kenji ‘Mike’ Shinoda is best known as the rapper, principal songwriter, keyboardist, vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Linkin Park.
