Swiss watchmaker Rolex is celebrating its historical prestige and cementing its future success at an exhibition in conjunction with the launch of the new Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40.

Originally launched in 1956, the Day-Date was revolutionary in terms of design and engineering. It was the first waterproof and self-winding chronometer wristwatch with a modern calendar that showcased a fully-spelt day display, in addition to the date. It also sported the specially designed President bracelet.

Representing a level of class like no other, Rolex’s crowning achievement has been worn by more presidents, leaders and visionaries than any other watch.

The new Day-Date, while paying homage to the look of its historical predecessor, comes with a new-generation mechanical heart—calibre 3255. With 14 patents to its name, calibre 3255 is set to raise the already-high bar for function and quality at Rolex even higher.

The exhibition will run from March 7 to 20, at Cortina Watch, Starhill Gallery, giving watch lovers a unique opportunity to be a part of the past and the future of the “President’s Watch.”
