This is Parachrom hairspring, the guardian of precise timing. It is completely designed and manufactured by replica Rolex in-house. Launched in 2005, its performance has reached the pinnacle of alloy hairsprings. This image has been enlarged, and the actual object is actually very fine. The edges are smaller than a hair, the weight is lighter than a pearl, and the diameter after coiling is only a few millimeters.
To prevent external interference, it is placed in a well-sealed oyster-shaped shell, hence the name “oyster”. The hairspring is hidden and rarely seen in person, so what’s the point of paying attention to its color? This blue hue is Rolex’s unique paramagnetic alloy composed of niobium, zirconium and oxygen. The color appears after anti-oxidation anode treatment. It therefore represents the excellent anti-magnetic, temperature difference resistance, shock resistance and corrosion resistance of Parachrom hairspring. Performance inherits our extraordinary watchmaking tradition and symbolizes the long-lasting performance we relentlessly pursue. Parachrom hairspring, the blue of excellence, is in constant motion.
This is the Chronergy escapement we launched in 2015. This mechanical system transmits energy accurately and regulates the vibration frequency of the watch. Its redesigned gears and anchor components greatly improve the operating efficiency of the system.
The primary operating principle is very simple: an anchor-shaped component with two pallet forks allows a concave gear to rotate precisely. “Beep”, the first pallet fork stops the gear rotation, and then when it releases the gear, the second pallet fork will stop the gear rotation and make a “click” sound, and so on in an alternating cycle. This “tick” cycle occurs eight times per second without any errors. This produces 14,400 “beep” sounds per hour and the same number of “click” sounds, for a total of 28,800 vibration frequencies. This creates a stable and constant rhythm, allowing each gear to connect and operate, thus allowing the watch to maintain its constant vitality. It has been proven that when it comes to time, everything is under control.
Launched in 2005, the Rolex Paraflex cushioning device is completely designed and manufactured in-house by replica Rolex watches. It is the key to protecting the precise operation of the movement and can eliminate the impact of collisions and shakes when wearing the watch on a daily basis.
Paraflex is only the size of a grain of rice and seems insignificant. Why can it take on such an important task? The secret lies in the interaction of two different properties. It moves first in one direction and then the other, instantaneously in a fraction of a second, as if in a dance, never stopping, canceling out all the effects of vibrations moment by moment. Each time it receives an impact, it bends to dissipate the impact and then returns to its original shape; it also shifts sideways to ensure that the balance wheel and escapement anchor function normally. Because it is protected by Paraflex, it is guaranteed that the Rolex movement can keep accurate time under any circumstances. Deforming and shifting, it seems to be dancing, guarding precise timing.
