Robb Report: Eric Wind Quoted on Oyster Bracelet
Oren Hartov recently wrote for Robb Report on the Rolex Oyster Bracelet. Within the article, Eric Wind is quoted.
“The Oyster bracelet is arguably one of the keys to Rolex’s success since the 1940s and 1950s,” says noted vintage watch dealer and expert Eric Wind. “It was integral with the birth of the Submariner, Explorer, GMT-Master, and Daytona. While it was originally a design by Gay Frères in the 1930s, it really found its calling with Rolex adopting it on those sport models in the 1950s and 1960s. It has evolved to go from thin rivet models to the solid, much heavier Oyster bracelets we know today.”
