The Rolex Calibre 3255: A New Era in Mechanical Movements
The unveiling of the Rolex Calibre 3255 at the 2015 Baselworld marked a monumental moment in horological history. This movement isn’t just an improvement; it’s a revolution that sets new standards in watchmaking.
Precision is at the heart of the Calibre 3255, achieving an accuracy that doubles the daily use standard of official chronometers. Its Chronergy escapement merges efficiency with reliability, a testament to Rolex’s innovative prowess.
A key to its unmatched reliability and magnetic resistance is the use of nickel-phosphorus in its construction, making it impervious to magnetic fields. The Parachrom hairspring enhances its shock resistance tenfold compared to traditional hairsprings, ensuring unparalleled accuracy even under extreme conditions.
With a new barrel architecture and the efficiency of its Chronergy escapement, the power reserve extends an impressive three days, allowing wearers the convenience of setting their watch aside over the weekend without losing a second.
Rolex has surpassed itself with the Calibre 3255, not only in terms of timekeeping precision but also in its approach to testing. Simulating real-life wear to ensure every timepiece performs beyond the standards set by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), Rolex watches fitted with the Calibre 3255 promise to deliver extraordinary accuracy every day.
This movement is a culmination of 14 patents, each contributing to its superb performance, from its anti-magnetic materials to the reinvention of the escapement mechanism. The Calibre 3255 is a beacon of Rolex’s commitment to excellence, redefining the very core of mechanical precision and establishing new benchmarks for the future of watchmaking.
