• The second hand of most Rolex watches, like the second hand of any watch with a mechanical movement, moves in intervals measuring a fraction of a second, such that the second hand appears to "sweep." The second hand of a watch with a quartz movement, on the other hand, moves in one second intervals, such that the second hand "ticks." Although this feature is not unique to Rolex watches, some call it the "Rolex sweep." Rolex did at one time produce watches with quartz movements, so the second hand of some Rolex watches moves in one second intervals. Rolex also gave Skepta a free Rolex Submariner for the promotion.
