Rolex SailGP Championship
Redefining competitive sailing

Ultralight aerodynamic catamarans. Spectacular races on the seas across five continents. A unique experience for the public. The Rolex SailGP Championship, with Rolex as Title Partner and Official Timepiece, has revolutionized yacht racing and propelled competitive sailing into the future.

Published on September 4, 2025

The fastest fleet in history

Twelve crews comprising the most talented of sailors. Identical catamarans, with foils and a rigid wingsail. Capable of rising above the waves to reach speeds of 50 knots, almost 100 km/h, they go head-to-head in rounds of no more than 15 minutes each. The Rolex SailGP Championship is redefining the world of competitive sailing with cutting-edge boats that deliver exceptional performance. These veritable flying yachts bear the flags of the nations they represent and make up the fastest fleet in history.

Spectacular competition

First held in 2019, the Rolex SailGP Championship has established itself as the most thrilling competition in the world of sailing and invigorates each season with new events. Now, a dozen races around the world are held throughout the year: San Francisco, Dubai, Auckland, Portsmouth, and even all the way to the shores of Lake Geneva. At each Grand Prix, the championship offers a spectacular show in front of huge grandstands, providing spectators with an exclusive experience.

Hannah Mills, a champion on and off the water

Two-time Rolex World Sailor of the Year Hannah Mills is now a strategist for the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team. Also a two-time 470 world champion, the Welsh skipper is one of the most decorated women in Olympic sailing history with a pair of gold medals and one silver. A SailGP ambassador for sustainable development, she is also highly committed to the inclusion of women in sailing.

Tom Slingsby, a master of many classes

A 2012 Olympic Games gold medallist, Tom Slingsby is also a three-time Rolex Sailor of the Year awardee. He has also won the Rolex SailGP Championship three times as the helmsman and chief executive officer of Team Australia. The talented yachtsman brought home 10 world championship titles across multiple categories. The Australian was also a member of Oracle Team USA that held aloft the America’s Cup in 2013. Moreover, he stood at the helm of line-honours winning crews in real time at the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and the Rolex Middle Sea Race.

Martine Grael, a born skipper

In 2025, Martine Grael made history by becoming the first helmswoman of the Rolex SailGP Championship with the new Mubadala Brazil SailGP Team. The Brazilian sailor was only 22 years old when named Rolex World Sailor of the Year in 2014. Two years later in Rio, she won the first of two Olympic gold medals in the 49er FX class, with the other one following in Tokyo in 2021. She also took part in the Volvo Ocean Race 2017-2018, an offshore competition that established her as one of the world’s most accomplished sailors.

Pushing boundaries
Until the very last second

Mastering the power of mechanics to defy the laws of time. Controlling risk to determine the ideal trajectory. And holding on to victory. Rolex is a major partner of legendary endurance championships, the most emblematic events and the most remarkable names in motor sport.

Published on June 10, 2025

The 24 Hours of Le Mans, motor sport’s oldest endurance race

The 24 Hours of Le Mans celebrates motor sport endurance and excellence. As night falls on the iconic Circuit de la Sarthe, the race pushes every driver’s skill and resilience. Inaugurated in 1923, its first edition was contested by 33 teams of two drivers. Today, more than 60 cars with three drivers each strive for ascendancy, as large manufacturers and private teams showcase their technological expertise. Since 2001, Rolex has been Exclusive Major Partner and Official Timepiece of this impressive challenge, celebrating drivers’ efforts in their pursuit of the crowning achievement that is finishing first.

Rolex 24 At DAYTONA, legendary circuit, epic race

At the 5.73-kilometre (3.56-mile) Daytona International Speedway in Florida, the greatest endurance drivers and teams compete for 24 hours. Only the hardiest temperaments and the most accomplished mechanical and technical performances can prevail. Rankings are based on the distance covered within the allotted time. Rolex has been Title Sponsor and Official Timepiece of the event since 1992.

The 12 Hours of Sebring, performance under pressure

Established in the United States in 1952, the 12 Hours of Sebring has a reputation for being one of the most challenging endurance races in the world. With its uneven and bumpy surface, Sebring International Raceway is a true gauge of car reliability. It is here, in March, that many competitors in the 24 Hours of Le Mans come to test the mechanical strength of their machines. Rolex is Official Timepiece of the competition.

The brand awards a Cosmograph Daytona to the winners of each of these three emblematic events, which make up the triple crown of endurance racing.

Reliability over time

Rolex enjoys partnerships with the most important organizations in endurance racing. Since 2001, the brand has supported the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), which stages the 24 Hours of Le Mans and oversees the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), the largest series of international sports car competitions.

The mechanics of progress

Doing better with less. This is the two-fold sporting and environmental challenge that racing teams and manufacturers are facing today: achieving energy efficiency while pushing the limits of performance even further. Rolex has always been committed to the dynamics of progress and supports motor sport in this profound transformation.

Tom Kristensen, Mr Le Mans

With nine victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Tom Kristensen, a Rolex Testimonee since 2010, is the most successful driver in the race’s history. He triumphed on his first appearance in 1997 and reigned supreme from 2000 to 2005. The Dane added two further victories, in 2008 and 2013. Out of 18 race participations, Kristensen finished on the podium 15 times. His track record also includes an FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) title in 2013 and six wins at the 12 Hours of Sebring.

Jamie Chadwick, driver of the future

Jamie Chadwick was not yet 16 when she won the Silverstone 24 Hour in 2015. The first female champion of the British GT Championship and a three-time winner of the all-women W-Series (Formula 3), Chadwick embodies the future of motor sport. A Rolex Testimonee since 2022, she achieved race victories in her debut season competing in the European Le Mans Series in 2025.

A voyage into the world of Rolex

A voyage into the world of Rolex

Hans Wilsdorf was firmly convinced of a person’s ability to innovate and strive for excellence.

Published on June 9, 2024

More than 100 years after the creation of the brand, the founder’s philosophy is more present than ever, from the manufacturing of the company’s watches to its commitments worldwide.

“The opposition I encountered seemed insuperable.”

Sir Ben Ainslie

Commitment to excellence

Since the beginning, the story of Rolex has been characterized by the quest for perfection and the ambition to push the boundaries of achievement.

At the turn of the 20th century, a visionary entrepreneur based in London was on the verge of success. His aim? To introduce the watchmaking world of the day to an as-yet-unknown dial signature: Rolex. A new name, invented in 1908, it would become one of the world’s most respected brands in the space of a few decades. As Hans Wilsdorf recounted in his memoirs of the early days of his company, the opposition he faced seemed insurmountable at first.

The entrepreneur started out with very little, but he did possess invaluable qualities: vision, perseverance and an extraordinary ability to work. An orphan at the age of 12, with nothing other than his determination to help him overcome challenges, Hans Wilsdorf went on to invent the world’s first waterproof self-winding wristwatch with a Perpetual rotor – a watch that has become a benchmark in terms of quality and prestige.

“Too complicated, too fragile, ill-adapted” – the wristwatch was met with scepticism. Yet, relying on his firmly-held beliefs, Hans Wilsdorf managed to achieve his bold objective of establishing the Rolex watch – the Oyster Perpetual – as the archetype of the waterproof self-winding wristwatch, a robust and precise timepiece able to withstand all conditions. But he was not simply a visionary who endowed Rolex watches with their fundamental technical and aesthetic characteristics. His constant quest for perfection was accompanied by a profound generosity and unshakeable faith in human potential.

Uniting expertise

An integrated and independent company, Rolex has manufacturing resources that encompass a wide range of skills and knowledge. Watchmakers, engineers, designers and other specialists work closely together from the design to the manufacturing of the watches. Rolex’s company culture is based above all on human values, which place both expertise and soft skills at the heart of the brand’s different activities.

Rolex is host to a variety of professions, brought to life by employees who are experts in their fields. The company designs and manufactures the majority of its watch components, from the casting of gold alloys to machining, crafting, assembly and finishing of the movement, case, dial and bracelet, as well as gem-setting. Its know-how is also made available right across the world thanks to an exceptional after-sales service network.

To ensure the brand’s expertise exists into the future, Rolex has its own unique Training Centre. Dedicated to the pursuit of excellence and the development of its employees, the centre, located in Geneva, provides training to employees and instructs apprentices. The company aims to pass on to younger generations its pride in its skills and mastery of its knowledge.

A watch unlike the rest

The Oyster Perpetual collection was built on the success of the original Oyster launched in 1926. As the world’s first waterproof wristwatch – with its patented case architecture – it played a pioneering role in the development of the modern timepiece. Over the years, the Oyster became the proud bearer of many other innovations – such as self-winding by means of the Perpetual rotor (1931) – that defined the identity of the models in the collection and forged Rolex’s reputation for excellence, of which chronometric precision and reliability are among the cornerstones.

The Oyster gradually evolved into a collection of watches that integrated new functions and innovative technologies. All the models share fundamental features and a strong visual identity. Today the collection consists of 12 ranges, split into two categories: Classic watches such as the Datejust and the Day Date, and Professional watches, including the Explorer and the GMT-Master II.

As the pioneer of the modern wristwatch, the company is at the origin of numerous major innovations in the watchmaking industry and has filed over 600 patents in the course of its history.

The Audacity of Excellence

The Audacity of Excellence The Lady-Datejust

“A classic timepiece, designed for a Lady this is how some may describe the Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust. Maybe they’re right. Since the early 20th century, Rolex has designed and crafted watches suited for the wrists of every woman, with the same standard of excellence as all the models that have built its legend. So, if “classic” means always pursuing a higher standard, if it means perpetuating tradition while combining elegance with precision, grace with resistance, beauty with performance… then the Lady-Datejust is, indeed, a classic timepiece designed for a lady.

Published on April 2, 2024

A KEYSTONE IN THE HISTORY OF ROLEX

Pioneering women have always been a keystone in the history of Rolex.
Since the earliest days of the brand, they have inspired the creation and development of special timepieces that would support their quest for empowerment. The Lady-Datejust is a celebration of those who dare to lead the way. It embodies precision while combining classic elegance and technical performance.

"A CLASSIC TIMEPIECE, DESIGNED FOR A LADY. "
THIS IS HOW SOME MAY DESCRIBE THE OYSTER PERPETUAL LADY-DATEJUST

HEIR TO THE DATEJUST

Unveiled in 1957, the Lady-Datejust concentrates all the attributes of the Datejust, the emblematic Rolex watch that has been a byword for style and technical performance ever since its launch in 1945. The women’s version of this date chronometer, the Lady-Datejust carries the elegance of the Datejust in a smaller size perfectly suited to a slender wrist.

A WEALTH OF VERSIONS

Sunray-finish dials, paved with diamonds or crafted from mother-of-pearl – the Lady-Datejust offers so many choices that wearers can easily find one to reflect their personality. Depending on the version, the Lady-Datejust is available with a domed, fluted or diamond-set bezel.

EXCLUSIVE MATERIALS

The Lady-Datejust is available in Oystersteel, in 18 ct yellow, white or Everose gold, or in Rolesor versions that combine Oystersteel and one of three varieties of gold (white, yellow and Everose).

28 MM OYSTER CASE

The Lady-Datejust’s 28 mm Oyster case is a perfect blend of proportion, robustness and elegance. The distinctively shaped middle case is crafted from a solid block of highly corrosion-resistant Oystersteel or 18 ct gold. It is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet).

ICONIC BRACELETS

Depending on the version, the Lady-Datejust is available on a three-piece link Oyster bracelet with a folding Oysterclasp; on a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet – created in 1945 especially for the Datejust – with a Crownclasp; or on a three-piece link President bracelet with a Crownclasp. A concealed attachment system ensures seamless visual continuity between the bracelet and case.

PERPETUAL CALIBRE 2236

The Lady-Datejust is equipped with calibre 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Its architecture makes it exceptionally precise and reliable. Calibre 2236 is fitted with a Syloxi hairspring in silicon, patented and manufactured by Rolex. Resistant to magnetic fields, the Syloxi hairspring provides great stability in the face of temperature variations and remains up to 10 times more precise than a traditional hairspring in case of shocks. Its patented geometry ensures its regularity in any position.

SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER

Like all Rolex watches, the Lady-Datejust is covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification. This designation testifies that every watch leaving the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria. The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.

OYSTER PERPETUAL SKY-DWELLER

Mastering travel time

Elegant and technically sophisticated, the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller was designed for those continually travelling the globe. Featuring the Saros annual calendar and Ring Command system, it simultaneously indicates two time zones, as well as the date and month, and allows them to be adjusted with one simple gesture.

Since its creation in 2012, the Sky-Dweller has been aimed at those who see the world as a single territory, without borders. It allows travellers to avoid the pitfalls of time differences and always stay one step ahead.

Second time zone at a glance

The Sky-Dweller simultaneously displays the time in a second time zone as well as the local time, which is indicated by central hands. This second time zone – or reference time – is indicated by a highly legible, small triangle with a red silhouette on a 24-hour graduated rotating disc. A signature element of the model, this off-centre disc makes it possible to unequivocally distinguish between daytime and night-time hours: an invaluable asset for someone travelling to the other side of the world.

Innovative and intuitive annual calendar

Specially developed for the Sky-Dweller, the patented Saros annual calendar is a key element in the model’s identity. The name of this mechanism, with its innovative design, is inspired by the Greek term denoting the cycle of lunar and solar eclipses.

The Saros calendar automatically differentiates between 30-day and 31-day months. It therefore requires only one manual date adjustment a year, when February turns to March. It is intuitive and simple to read. The current month is indicated in red in one of the dozen windows that punctuate the hour markers around the circumference of the dial.

The watchmaking innovation relies on two-gear ratios and only four-gear wheels added to Rolex’s instantaneous date calendar. This elementary structure gives the Saros annual calendar excellent reliability.

Ring Command system: time under control

Developed by Rolex, the patented Ring Command system is an innovative mechanism of interaction between the rotatable bezel, winding crown and movement. It allows the Sky-Dweller’s different functions to be selected easily, quickly and securely, before adjusting them with the winding crown.

By turning the fluted bezel counterclockwise – the profile of which is accentuated to make it easier to handle – the wearer chooses the indication that they wish to set. First notch: date and month. Second notch: local time. Third notch: reference time.

For the true globetrotter

Whether a golfer, sailor or equestrian rider, criss-crossing the globe, they must always be ready, whatever the destination or distance travelled.

Spanish golfer Jon Rahm, Brazilian skipper Robert Scheidt and American show jumper Kent Farrington are among the Rolex Testimonees who have adopted the Sky-Dweller.

Make a Date of a Day

A milestone in watchmaking history, the Oyster Perpetual Datejust was the first self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o’clock on the dial. These numbers are a reminder that though 24 hours mark a day, it’s on us to make those a date to remember.

“IT IS A MASTERPIECE OF HOROLOGICAL SCIENCE. IT IS, IN FACT, A SYNTHESIS OF ALL THAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED UP TO THE PRESENT DAY.”
Hans Wilsdorf, 1945

"A CLASSIC TIMEPIECE, DESIGNED FOR A LADY. "
THIS IS HOW SOME MAY DESCRIBE THE OYSTER PERPETUAL LADY-DATEJUST

EMBODYING ROLEX KNOW-HOW

The perfect embodiment of the classic Rolex watch, the Datejust, launched in 1945, showcased all the major accomplishments developed to that point by the brand. It thus echoed the quest for excellence of Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf who believed that watchmaking progress should encourage human progress. In a period of great change, people’s relationship with time was shifting. Modern life moved to the rhythm of the passing days and was less connected to the seasons. The Datejust offers enhanced comfort in terms of legibility and daily time management.

THE CYCLOPS LENS: AN OPTIMIZED READING

Created to improve the legibility of the date, the Cyclops lens is both an aesthetic and a technical brand signature. This Rolex invention was patented in the early 1950s and presented for the first time in 1953 on a Datejust. Its magnifying effect makes the date easier to read. Initially in plexiglass, it has been crafted in sapphire since the 1970s, like the watch’s crystal.

THE JUBILEE BRACELET: COMFORT AND ELEGANCE

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Rolex in 1945, the Jubilee bracelet was specially designed for the Datejust. This fluid and comfortable five-piece link metal bracelet is integral to the Datejust’s identity and enhances the timeless elegance of the model. The Datejust is also available with an Oyster bracelet or, on precious metal versions, a President bracelet.

A CONTINUALLY UPDATED WATCHMAKING ICON

The Datejust is constantly reinventing itself. Its varied reinterpretations express and showcase Rolex’s expertise in dial-making. Featuring smooth, domed, fluted or diamond-set bezels, the Datejust has stylishly spanned eras while perfectly adapting to the personality of its wearers.
