Rolex’s First Titanium Watch
Blake Buettner, writing for Worn & Wound:
In a surprising move this morning Rolex, along with
filmmaker/adventurer extraordinaire James Cameron, revealed a new
Deepsea Challenge in the reference 126067. Rolex enthusiasts will
immediately notice something new about that number, and that’s the
7 at the very end. That last digit denotes the case material, and
until now a 7 has never been used. That’s because this watch
represents the first commercially available Rolex crafted from
titanium. That may be a first, but this really a reference that
celebrates the past in a way rarely seen from the brand. That
said, the most exciting details of this watch are what it might
say about future releases.
The two most interesting new watches of the year, to me, are both exclusively made with titanium cases.
