Originally designed for divers in the<br />

1950s, the Rolex Submariner watch<br />

quickly became a symbol of prosperity<br />

and luxury and has long been one of<br />

the most recognizable watches in the market.<br />

<strong>The</strong> watch has been part of expeditions<br />

both at land and sea, even withstanding<br />

temperatures of 45 degrees below Celsius in<br />

the famous Moana expedition. Having even<br />

appeared in eleven James Bond films, the<br />

Rolex Submariner is a watch that has a love<br />

for action, ready to take on the world. From<br />

London to Paris, San Francisco to New York,<br />

Shanghai to Jakarta, the Submariner has offered<br />

a great reminder.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new Submariner Emerald is a strong example<br />

of such enduring greatness. In 2010,<br />

Rolex has created a new classic in the Oyster<br />

Perpetual Submariner Emerald set with 36<br />

emeralds and 12 diamonds within its unidirectional<br />

rotatable bezel, the Submariner is<br />

an advanced version of the 2003 Green Submariner<br />

version that was released in conjunction<br />

with the model’s 50th anniversary.<br />

<strong>The</strong> colour green, which is strongly associated<br />

with the brand, is not only featured on the<br />

bezel, but also within the dial where eight emeralds<br />

are elegantly set as hour markers. <strong>The</strong><br />

entire case and bracelet is made in 18-carat<br />

white gold, and true to its initial purpose, is<br />

able to withstand the pressure of water to up<br />

to 300 metres or 1,000 feet.<br />

<strong>The</strong> color green, which is sTrongly<br />

associaTed wiTh <strong>The</strong> brand, is noT only<br />

feaTured on <strong>The</strong> bezel, buT also wiThin <strong>The</strong> dial<br />
