After launching the top chronometer label, Rolex integrated fully automated testing standards into the brand’s production lines.
The words’ Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified’ are engraved on the dial of every Rolex chronometer watch as proof. “Since 2015, Rolex has further raised its requirements and measured the reliability of watches with more stringent standards. This year, this certification standard has been extended to all Rolex watch series. These requirements include the daily error of controlled movements within -2/+2 seconds. Cheap fake Rolex.

Setting strict standards is one thing; on the other hand, it is also necessary to equip relevant instruments for measurement. Out of this consideration, Rolex first carefully observed the actual daily wearing of the watch and, based on the survey results, developed testing standards that fully simulate the real-world environment. Rolex then established a “Superlative Control” fully automatic program to test the timekeeping accuracy, water resistance, automatic winding, and power storage of the watch in the production line. The new facility is installed on the ground floor of the production plant and covers an area of more than 500 square meters. It is on the same floor and is directly connected to the automated central inventory management system. Philippe Bentele added: “This design has the unique advantage that the watch does not need to be taken off the production line before being tested. Rolex also provides stable conditions for the test instruments to ensure that the system can operate around the clock.”

The first stage of the “Superlative Control” fully automatic procedure is to wind the watch fully. A set of six pieces drives the self-winding module of each watch through the rotation of two central axes. Two acoustic units can control the rotation amplitude, runout error, and regular operation of the “Winding Robot.” Next, it is time to test the timing accuracy. A unique reading system obtains high-resolution images of each hand, which are then analyzed in three dimensions to determine the height of the hand. Each image is linked to a GPS universal reference time. The watch was first rotated on a Cyclostock instrument (for 6 hours) and then tested in 7 static positions as close as possible to typical wearing conditions. Swiss replica watches store.
The final stage of Rolex’s testing process is a comprehensive examination of the watch’s performance. First, the air tightness is checked to ensure no risk of damage. Then, the watch is immersed in vessels with pressures equivalent to 250 bar and 500 bar to test its water resistance. After 33 hours of testing, only the power reserve test remains. Philippe Bentele affirms, ‘Fully automated units are a way to control the entire production under perfect, independent, and repeatable conditions. This final quality inspection is a crucial part of our highly integrated system, ensuring perfect throughput time while subjecting each watch to rigorous tests. For Rolex, maintaining consistent formulation parameters is key to meeting each customer’s expectations.’
