Rolex Pocket Watches

A Rolex pocket watch is an investment piece that will serve you for many years to come. If kept in a good condition, it may even become a family heirloom and be passed down from one generation to the next. That is why it is important to do your research before purchasing your Rolex, so you can make an informed decision and pick the right one.

Rolex was founded in London in 1905. The company make luxury watches and are renowned for their innovative designs after creating the first waterproof wrist watch and designing a self-winding mechanism. When it comes to Rolex pocket watches, there are many different styles and sizes to choose from.

Open face Rolex pocket watches are, as the name suggests, open faced meaning that you don't need to move or remove a cover to be able to see the time. These designs have been less popular in the past as they leave the watch face unprotected and open to damage.

A Rolex hunter pocket watch features a cover which is designed to protect the watch face and needs to be removed before you can see it. The outer of these covers can be plain, engraved or adorned with ornate designs. Some people like to have a photograph or other engravings on the inside as well.

Whilst the hunter can sometimes be a hassle, a half hunter has a cover over the face of the clock, similarly to the full hunter , but the cover has a small glass section or hole in the centre so you are able to see what the time is without having to open it. This has become a popular option as it keeps the face protected but is also easy to use.

It is also possible to buy Rolex double hunter and double half hunter pocket watches .
