Rolex Takes the Plunge With Titanium
Rolex releases its first-ever timepiece with a case and bracelet crafted from titanium.
While still sizeable by any measure, the use of a lighter metal significantly improves the potential wearability of this descendent of the trio of experimental Deepsea Challenge timepieces that accompanied James Cameron to the bottom of the Mariana Trench a decade ago, which each weighed 30% more and were over an inch thick.
