Which Rolex series is the best?

There is no best series, it all depends on personal preference. I am more inclined to recommend the GMT-Master series.

1. Submariner calendar series (Submariner)

Submariner calendar series, Submariner is everyone’s nickname for “Submariner”. Black is the black water ghost, green is the green water ghost, and blue is the golden-blue water ghost. There are also Jianjin Black Water Ghost and Ghost King. The most popular ones are probably the green water ghost and the black water ghost. The rotating outer ring of the Submariner is the main feature of the watch. Its 60-minute progressive scale allows divers to accurately calculate diving time and decompression time. The Cerachrom word ring is made of special ceramic that is extremely hard, corrosion-resistant and scratch-resistant. Even in a dark environment, the luminous material on the zero mark still ensures clear reading. Excellent waterproofing is also the king of diving watches in the watch industry. The Oyster case plays a decisive role in the history of Rolex. The watch case got its name because it can be sealed like an oyster shell. The crown uses a three-buckle winding crown. After tightening, the Oyster case can be completely sealed, just like the sealed door of a submarine.

2. Rolex Explorer II series

The Rolex Explorer II series has always been the choice of those with an adventurous spirit. The design of the Explorer II follows the brand's solemnity, practicality, not flashy, simple and elegant; in terms of functions, it has a 24-hour display, an expanded instantaneous calendar at 3 o'clock, GMT, 12-hour easy-to-set independent pointer, and can cope with various Solid workmanship for harsh environments. In addition, the integrated stainless steel design of Tan II’s strap, lugs, and case gives the watch excellent waterproof performance. The high-performance Paraflex cushioning device makes the watch highly resistant to shock and pressure. It is worth mentioning that the watch has long-lasting Chromalight luminous display hands and time scales, which are powerful. When you cannot distinguish between day and night, because Antarctica only has weak and dim sunlight all day long, it is difficult to tell the actual time. For this reason, Rolex Explorer II is specially equipped with the function of distinguishing day and night. This watch is a vital piece of survival equipment for speleologists who need to work in dark caves during the day using artificial lighting.

3. Cosmograph Daytona series

The Cosmograph Daytona was born in 1963 and is specially designed to meet the timing needs of professional endurance racers. Equipped with a reliable speedometer scale outer ring, the maximum speed can reach 400 kilometers per hour. The counters are designed with strong contrasting colors and are particularly eye-catching on the surface: a light-colored surface with a black design, or a black surface with a light-colored design. The tachymeter (a scale that uses the chronograph second hand to measure the average speed of an object within a specific distance) has been moved from the surface to the periphery of the outer ring, providing more space for the surface and making it more simple. Rolex launched a professional watch series in 1953, 10 years before the advent of the Cosmograph watch. Among them, as famous as the Cosmograph watch, are also the Explorer watch designed for explorers and mountaineers. A Submariner watch designed for deep-sea diving. It is also one of the three most popular series of Rolex watches.

4. Yacht-Master Series

The Rolex Yacht-Master II watch is considered to be one of the best watches for sailing events or sailing sports. Rolex's specially designed RING COMMAND outer ring that can rotate 90 degrees in both directions connects the movement structure to achieve interaction between the bezel and the movement. The blue CERACHROM sub-ring on the bezel is engraved with pink gold numbers inside, which is noble and fashionable, and is connected to the sea for easy countdown. The countdown function also requires the ring-shaped 10-minute countdown dial on the dial to be completed at the same time. By pressing the button at 2 o'clock, the countdown starts or is paused. Pressing the button at 4 o'clock can reset the time to zero. Of course, at 4 o'clock The position button also has a function, which is to adjust the countdown. Strictly speaking, Rolex's professional sports timepieces, except Deepsea, are the Yacht-Master series. Daytona, Explorer, Submariner and other series are all casual sports timepieces, and their functions are not necessarily targeted at a certain project. Yes, it can be worn daily. However, the Yacht-Master watch is too targeted in comparison and is not suitable for daily casual matching.

5. GMT-Master series

The Rolex “Coke ring” and “Pepsi ring” circulated in the world refer to this series, and the “Coke ring” refers to the ceramic of the GMT-Master watch. The red and black colors on the bezel alternate, while the "Pepsi circle" refers to the alternating blue and black colors. In addition to displaying time in different time zones, the GMT-Master watch’s solid material and easy-to-match appearance make it not only suitable for traveling around the world, but also for attending any occasion. In addition to the traditional hour, minute and second hands, the practical functions of the GMT-Master II are also equipped with an independent 24-hour hand and a 24-hour progressive bi-directional rotating scale outer ring. The watch uses a cleverly designed independently adjustable jumping hour hand. The wearer can easily adjust the time through the winding crown without affecting the operation of the minute and second hands. The GMT-Master II uses the 3186 self-winding movement completely developed by Rolex. In addition to the traditional hour, minute, and second hands, it is also equipped with a 24-hour hand to display a second time zone. Like all Perpetual movements, Caliber 3186 has received the Swiss Official Timepiece Certification, which is awarded to precision watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Chronometer Testing Center (COSC).

The 3186 movement is equipped with a Parachrom hairspring to help resist the effects of impacts and temperature changes. It is constructed in the same way as all Oyster movements and offers unparalleled reliability.

6. Oyster Perpetual Milgauss Series

The Oyster Perpetual Milgauss watch presents a unique dial color, which is softer and more delicate than the Submariner. The orange lightning needle is a typical example. features. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss watch displays unique and symbolic aesthetic features. Looking through the green crystal mirror, you can see the attractive blue surface. Milgauss, introduced in 1956, was designed for engineers and technicians working in magnetic fields. Magnetism will interfere with the normal operation of a mechanical watch, but this watch can withstand magnetic strengths up to 1,000 gauss, allowing it to maintain the performance and accuracy that an officially certified timepiece should have. "mille" means "mille" in French It is one thousand, hence the name of the watch. The most classic representative style is the well-known "green glass" style.
