Offered for sale here is a framed original Vintage Rolex GMT-Master Watch magazine advertisement from 1987.
To prevent glare, the photograph was taken without the frame's perspex front cover. Consequently, the advertisement may appear slightly raised or uneven against the backing sheet in the image.
The text on the print reads:
Walking to the Pole in the footsteps of Scott.
Many schoolboys will have read the Antarctic journals of Captain Scott. And some, like the 11-year-old Robert Swan, may have vowed to retrace their hero's journey – one day. The unusual thing about Robert is that, 18 years later, he did follow Scott. With two companions he walked to the South Pole.
Others have made this journey with massive resources, motorised vehicles, skidoos, aeroplanes and radio. Robert Swan, Roger Mear and Gareth Wood didn't even take dogs. In 1911 the Scott team had established supply camps along their route. Swan, Mear and Wood hauled their provisions on sledges weighing, at the start, 353 lb to a man.
Their navigational equipment was no more elaborate than Captain Scott's. Yet they trekked accurately across the 400 mile Ross Ice Shelf, up the 125 mile long Beardmore Glacier; ascending 10,000 ft to the 350 mile Polar Plateau. It was a journey of 883 miles, accomplished in 71 days.
There had been no guarantee of success, even after seven years' preparation. "We could not go into this," said Swan, "thinking that we would win. It was up to the Antarctic to choose to let us through."
The Antarctic did let them through, step by painful step. They had to learn a manner of walking that used minimal energy. Energy came only from the food they carried, and weight was critical.
Each night, in their small tent, the men would re-read entries from Scott's diaries. But these were now vastly more than a boyhood inspiration. They were being relived mile by mile in spite of blizzards, perpetual sub-zero temperatures, twisted ligaments, agonising blisters and incessant hunger.
Reaching the South Pole at last was a realisation of their hope that "by limiting the means we use to re-trace Scott's journey, we can fully rediscover isolation, commitment and adventure".
"Limiting the means" excluded the radio. And – with no radio – there could be no time-checks. For vital navigational purposes, Swan, Mear and Wood each relied on his Rolex Superlative Chronometer. Even one minute out would have meant one mile out – and they were aiming at a point in an area the size of the USA.
As Robert Swan told us, "If my Rolex hadn't been reliable, I'd be dead. Its as simple as that."

This print is more than 30 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.
