Framed 1991 Vintage Rolex Explorer II Chronometer Watch Original Magazine Advertisement (ID: Rolex17)
Offered for sale here is a framed original Rolex Watch magazine advertisement from 1991.
The text on the print reads:
THE DESERT. NOT AS EMPTY AS IT LOOKS.
Wahiba Sands:
a living laboratory.
The word desert suggests a place utterly arid and sterile. In fact, deserts have complex ecosystems. Plants and trees that thrive in them could be used better for food, fuel, shelter and as a way of controlling the shifting sands. Scientists are agreed that, to control moving deserts, they must learn more about the dynamics of sand dunes.
For these reasons, the Royal Geographical Society, in co-operation with the Government of Oman and the Sultan Qaboos University, mounted an expedition in 1986. Its members represented eight scientific disciplines, all centrally co-ordinated.
The chosen site was the Wahiba Sands in the Sultanate of Oman, the best-known example of a small sand sea ecosystem in the world.
Throughout the study’s four-month duration, the mileage covered equalled 20 journeys around the world.
The nomadic bedu, masters of their environment, shared knowledge gained from generations of herding camels and goats. By contrast, NASA supplied up-to-date satellite images specially taken for the investigating team.
The discoveries made at Wahiba Sands surpassed all expectations. More than 150 different plants were identified. Some 16,000 invertebrates from 41 taxonomic groups revealed the diversity of life within the sands.
Scientific expeditions depend on cohesive team-work, good communications with local guardians, and reliable field equipment, says Nigel Winser, who co-ordinated the expedition.
Of course, they needed a watch that would keep constant time in the widely fluctuating temperatures of the boiling days and freezing nights. A watch that wouldn’t be affected by the sudden fierce dust-storms.
And so it was only natural that the Rolex Explorer II, a rugged chronometer, constructed to withstand whatever extremes the elements can subject it to, became an invaluable part of the expedition’s field equipment.

This print is 35 years old, so there will be signs of age. Some discoloration is commonplace and often there are small tears and signs of wear — little badges of authenticity.
There will be images and/or text on the back-side of your print. In some cases this may be slightly discernible through your print.
The brand-new A4 frame measures 22.7cm x 31.7cm x 1.0cm.
The print sits centered on an A4 sheet of Canson Iris Vival 185gsm card stock and is held in place using a single Goldbuch acid-free adhesive.
