To augment the case change, Rolex has totally redesigned the watch’s bracelet in a similar way to how they changed the Submariner’s bracelet last year. The end-links integrate more tightly with the case design, link giving better visual continuity (the bracelet looks almost like it flows through link the case) and the bracelet itself tapers more dramatically toward the clasp. The result is a watch that wears lighter on the wrist, with better link balance and no extra heft.

At HSNY's Horological Education classes, students discover what link actually makes a watch tick. The link hands-on classes will be taught by professional watchmakers from both HSNY and BHI. Students will work on a mechanical watch movement, link studying the gear train, winding and setting mechanisms, and escapement. The weekend half-day classes cover everything taught during the individual evening classes held in New York.
