October
7, 1927. It was a cold October morning, and Miss Mercedes Gleitze (1900-1981), a
London typist and part-time professional swimmer from Brighton, was about to
make her eighth attempt at swimming the English Channel. Just a year prior (on
July 29, 1926), Rolex patented the first waterproof wristwatch: the Rolex
Oyster. When Hans Wilsdorf (the cofounder and Managing Director of Rolex) got
word of the vindication swim, he saw this as a golden opportunity to promote his
new creation. Wilsdorf wasted no time, and on October 14, dispatched a letter to
Miss Gleitze by way of the S. T. Garland advertising service. By this letter, he
formally agreed to provide her with a gift wristlet watch to be worn during the
upcoming swim. In exchange, Gleitze would provide a written testimonial on the
performance of the watch after the swim.
|
It may sound a bit more romantic to say that Mercedes wore a Rolex on
her wrist as she swam across the English Channel, but this,
unfortunately, was not the case. While she did “carry” a Rolex for more
than ten hours during her vindication swim, it was not on her wrist, nor
was it during the “successful” fifteen-hour swim she is remembered for.
This is simply a story that has had some “specifics” misquoted over the
years. With that being said, on October 25, 1927, Mercedes Gleitze
forwarded a letter to Rolex, which summed it up very well, and read as
follows: “You will like to hear that the Rolex Oyster watch I carried on
my Channel swim proved itself a reliable and accurate timekeeping
companion even though it was subjected to complete immersion for hours
in sea water at a temp of not more than 58 and often as low as 51. This
is to say nothing about the sustained buffeting it must have received.
Not even the quick change to the high temp of the boat cabin when I was
lifted from the water seemed to affect the even tenour of its movement.
The newspaper man was astonished and I, of course, am delighted with
it…”
Again,
while Mercedes was unsuccessful on her vindication swim, the
significance of this feat was not lost on Rolex, as it heavily promoted
it in its now-famous London Daily Mail front-page advertisement on
November 24, of that same year
“Rolex
introduces for the first time the greatest triumph in Watch-making –
ROLEX ‘OYSTER’ – The Wonder Watch That Defies The Elements. MOISTURE
PROOF WATER PROOF HEAT PROOF VIBRATION PROOF COLD PROOF DUST PROOF” |

never touched at all. the case has no personal engravings on the back and quite

A NOTE.....
Did you know the Rolex caliber 59 movement with 17 jewels and 15 jewels are
also Tudor's?
The only difference being that if you take off the dial and look at the
main plate of the watch it will be signed "Rolex Geneve" or "Tudor Geneve" in a
small box. Some people take the Tudor plate and have the dial with the name
Rolex on it to make more money. We at DARLOR warrant our pieces to be genuine ,
real and no "monkey Business" at all. As well the caliber 59 was produced for
the Canadian market during the world war 2 era before and a bit after. Many
names on the dials are for the 59 caliber. So there you have in in short. So be
warned and ask a good dealer to show you a scan or in person where is says Rolex
or Tudor and any honest dealer will take the time out to show you!.
