As the largest Swiss watch manufacturer, Rolex is also the largest consumer of jewelery precious metals, they have always loved the use of rare and precious materials to manufacture high-end watches. Not surprisingly, Rolex takes full advantage of Hobart's meteorite to create a truly unique dial for Daytona, one of the rarest materials on the planet to date. Small pieces of the Hobart meteorite in Namibia (Gibeon Miteorite) The Hobart meteorite is a meteorite in Namibia far away from Hirtefontaine in the Ojai Zhupa district of Namibia. It was once covered, but also because of its immense quality, never moved from where it came. Its mass is estimated at about 60 metric tons and is the largest of the known meteorites (a single fragment) and the largest natural iron found on Earth's surface. Hobart meteorite was first reported by JA Alexander in 1838. Scientists have crashed into Earth about 80,000 years ago. The composition of this meteorite is 84% ​​iron, 16% nickel, and detectable cobalt, which is classified as a trace-free meteorite with a nickel content. Weidman pattern The meteorite most likely originated from a melted asteroid core, which slowly travels through space for millions of years until it landed on Earth. As the meteorite slow vacuum cooling millions of years in space will form octahedral meteorite structure (so the Earth can not be synthesized artificial iron and nickel alloy crystallization), the section pickling will appear the famous Weidman pattern, this pattern is also meteorite Iron-specific. Rolex: Always looking for rare materials Rolex constantly looking for the best and the rarest materials, the use of rare space rock as part of its raw materials resources. Rolex is definitely the first watch brand to make a completely unique dial from Namibian meteorite and then develop a truly unique collection of watches with other rare metals such as 18K gold. Rolex Daytona meteorite face plate Each dial is made from a Hobart meteorite slice, which, after acid washing, shows a unique Weidman pattern due to the more corrosion-resistant nickel metal. The upper dial also uses three subsidiary dials, tracking speed and time. Rolex Meteorite dial Daytona watch Rolex Daytona has long been a favorite for Rolex collectors. Therefore, it is not surprising that Rolex chose this special watch to come with a rare meteorite dial. Like other Rolex Daytona watches, the Meteorite Di Daytona equipped with 4130 self-winding movement, 44 drill, 40 mm 18k white gold case with 100 meters waterproof capacity, Daytona is a certified Rolex chronograph. The Hobart meteorite is now protected by Namibian law, meaning no one can cut it for sale. But do not worry, Rolex has enough reserves of resources to produce its unique meteorite face plate. Rolex Meteorite Dial Meteorite is certainly one of the most beautiful dials ever created by Rolex.
