For over 100 years, Rolex has produced quality timepieces. Along with using luxurious material, like gold and jewels, the company focuses on technological advancements in its movements to ensure each watch runs precisely and remains durable. The caliber 3135 movement was first introduced in 1988 and quickly become Rolex’s main movement. It has been used in a wide range of Rolex watch models, from the classically styled Datejust models to the demanding Professional watch series like the Submariner date models. This unique caliber has found its way into more Rolex watches than any other movement. Experts agree that it is one of the most successful calibers ever produced by Rolex.

Before this movement was introduced, Rolex utilized the caliber 3035 movement. While strong, reliable and extremely accurate, Rolex continuously advanced its design with the introduction of new features and technology. For over 20 years, the caliber 3135 movement was used in a number of Rolex timepieces and continuously proved itself to be one of the best movements ever created by the company.
