Movement

Until recently Rolex was falling behind to brands like Omega with their new Master Chronometer Co-Axial movements but with the introduction of the 3235 Rolex seems to be back up top. The Rolex Submariner 126618LB in-house calibre 3235 has a power reserve of 70 hours, -2/+2 seconds per day accuracy (COSC), bi-directional winding rotor, paramagnetic blue parachrom hairspring, and has a predicted service interval of ~10 years.

Where Rolex stepped up its game was with the anti-magnetic strength of the movement. We are constantly surrounded by appliances that can interfere with a movement’s accuracy and now the Rolex Submariner 126618LB doesn’t need to worry about it.
