If one were to think of Tuxedos, James Bond would be the first thing to flash through and the best accessory to go with it would be a Rolex. The very next thing to pop into the mind would be Sir Sean Connery, the original bond. To think of it Tuxedos, Sir Sean Connery and Rolex share some very similar traits: stylish, bold, handsome, classic, luxurious are a few to enumerate. Rolex instantly brings to mind timepieces that have marked a revolution in the world of watch-making. Ever since it brought out the first waterproof watch in 1926, Rolex has been known for its innovation and quality around the world. Whenever the word luxury is used in reference to watches the first name that springs up is that of Rolex. Rolex has defined luxury and class when it comes to timepieces. And by owning a Rolex one can feel the difference. Having one clasped on to the wrist could alleviate the soul to a level that could make one feel no less than 007.

Sir Sean Connery has so far been the most celebrated James Bond in the history of Bond movies, giving class and definition to the popular character. So impressive was his performance in the first feature Dr. No that the creator Ian Fleming decided to create a half-Scottish, half-Swiss heritage for the literary James Bond in the later novels. He has been polled as the “greatest living Scot� and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in July 2000. He has also been voted the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine and at the age of 69 he was voted the Sexiest Man of the Century. He has won awards not only as an actor but as a producer as well. He has bagged Academy Awards, Golden Globes and BAFTA Awards in various categories. His other notable performances have been in films like Murder on the Orient Express, The Untouchables, Marnie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, Dragonheart, The Rock and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

An extraordinary timepiece, the Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph combines functionality with comfort as it has a bezel that can be rotated in both directions for easy measurement of elapsed time spans. The 904L steel alloy used to create the case is normally reserved for the chemical industry where maximum resistance against corrosion is a priority. The 904L steel also blends in very well with the other precious materials used in making Rolex timepieces. The bracelet is as carefully sculpted as the movement, to generate not only handsome but comfortable timepieces. The Easylink on the bracelet helps in adjustment of up to 5mm in case of temporary expansion of the wrist due to an increase in temperature, altitude or due to physical activity. In-keeping with the true Rolex tradition the Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph is also water resistant down to depths of a 100 metres/330 feet. So once a Rolex is strapped on with a tuxedo it would be occasion for one to say in true James Bond style: The name is Rolex….. Rolex SA!
