No one else in the world has succeeded in the enterprise. “ From these words it is clear how Tiger Woods is an ab- solute legend of the golf world and in general one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. The US champion was fascinated by the Rolex Deepsea. This is due to another great passion of his: ocean diving. The Deepsea’s Oyster case guarantees water resistance to a depth of 3900 meters. All this thanks to the paten- ted Ringlock System innovation, which allows Deepsea glass to withstand a pressure equivalent to a load of three tons. The case is also equipped with a gas escape valve that allows the helium, which infiltrated insi- de the watch during decompression in the hyperbaric chamber, to be able to escape without any risk to the watch. To ensure visibility in low light conditions, it is equipped with Cromalight luminescence.

Looking at the past and future, this new model testifies to the collection’s uncompromising craftsmanship, pioneering micro-mechanics and futuristic aesthetics. Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT Blending titanium and grey ceramic, the case offers an ultra-contemporary frame for the cutting- edge openworked movement ticking within. The sandblasted titanium case is complemented with a sandblasted grey ceramic bezel—a combination of materials which extends to the crown and push- piece. Sturdy and refined, the case echoes the watch’s high-end hand-wound mechanism it encloses. Its impressive 10-day power reserve will appeal to those seeking adventurous and more extreme lifestyles. Endowed with a flying tourbillon and contemporary functions, Manufacture Calibre 2954 defies the power of gravity with style.

Fully visible at 9 o’clock, 1 the flying tourbillon is complemented by a crown position indicator at 6 o’clock and a second time- zone indicator at 3 o’clock. The movement’s blue bridges, also visible through the sapphire caseback, are matched by a blue rubber strap. The watch additionally comes with a black rubber strap.
