New Rolex Datejust

What is the difference between a chronometer and a chronograph? The two phrases are easily confused, even though they have completely different meanings. Chronometer is a name that is given to a watch with the highest in precision standards, such as a new Rolex Datejust. Watches with chronometer certification have passed the rigorous testing of the Swiss Official Chronometer Control. This testing consists of 15 days of performance tests under various conditions like exposure to varying temperatures, positions, and water levels.

Only watches with automatic or mechanical movements are eligible for chronometer certification. Rolex was the first watch manufacturer to earn the coveted chronometer certification. They maintain it today through the precision of quality assurance that goes into every new Rolex Datejust before it leaves the manufacturing floor.

In contrast to a chronometer, a chronograph is a watch that has a stopwatch capability. Its counter can measure elapsed time in seconds, minutes, or hours. The Rolex Daytona is one of the most popular examples of a chronograph.
