Rolex has made a unique and lasting contribution to the world of science, exploration, and sports for more than a century. Pioneers and champions have looked to Rolex watches to tell time accurately, whatever the circumstances.<\/p>\n

One of Rolex\u2019s most visible partnerships is with Wimbledon, the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world. The Crown has timed its matches to perfection for over 40 years now.<\/p>\n

Albeit unofficial, a special Rolex Datejust<\/a> dial has come to symbolize this connection.

ROLEX AND WIMBLEDON<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Championships, Wimbledon, more commonly known simply as Wimbledon, is the world\u2019s oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament. It takes places at the Centre Court in London for two weeks each summer, bringing together the most prominent players on green grass.<\/p>\n

Rolex became the Official Timekeeper of the Wimbledon in 1978. This marked the start of Rolex\u2019s prominence in the tennis space, which now extends to all four Grand Slam events \u2013 including the Australian, French, and US Open.<\/p>\n
