#Rolex faceless watch professional#
In the 1950s, Rolex began designing tool watches that were intended for professional activities like deep-sea diving, aviation, mountain climbing, and more. The year 1945 saw the first self-winding wrist chronometer to indicate the date in a window on the dial, the Rolex Datejust. In 1926, the first waterproof wristwatch was released by Rolex and was given the name “Oyster”. By 1919, the Company had grown and expanded so much, it moved to Geneva, Switzerland. At the time (the early 1900s), wristwatches weren’t extremely precise, but Wilsdorf had the vision that these timepieces would not only offer a luxury accessory to users, but also be a reliable method for telling time. His dream was to create a watch you could wear on your wrist. Rolex’s history is linked to 24-year-old Hans Wilsdorf, who in 1905 founded a unique company in London that specialized in timepiece distribution. In 2023, the Rolex Milgauss was discontinued. For collectors and enthusiasts pursuing these models, WatchBox’s ever-changing inventory of pre-owned Rolex watches may feature these in our inventory.

Color choices include blue, green, orange, oxblood, peach, pink, purple, red, salmon, and turquoise. These dials are inspired by the Stella lacquered dials seen in Day-Dates from the 1970s.
