In recent years, the logo of Rolex is less to be seen in some special activities. However, before recent decades, Rolex is the quite common brand that we can find it in many events more often than now. We have not seen it for a long time until at the launch event of the concept dive watch of the Rolex Deepsea Challenge. Certainly, all the watch companies is love to cooperate across industries, including the replica Rolex, for example, racing, golf, and many other luxury events. However, the name of the Rolex instrument appeared in something people cannot buy is quite rare.
Rolex announced their partnership with the Bloodhound SSC Team in 2011, which are producing a car designed to travel 1, 000 mph, and have recently debuted some cool instruments for use in the car. Yes, that is 1, 000 miles per hour-faster than the speed of sound.”SSC” stands for SuperSonic Car and there is no doubt that, in 2016 at the Hakskeen Pan located in South Africa, the Bloodhound will win the record of the land speed at the Land Speed Challenge
With intention to meet the goal of the team which is that take the Bloodhound to 1, 000 mph, it entirely break the record which was made in 1997 by the Thrust SSC. It reached over 760 mph in Black Rock Desert in the USA. Interestingly enough, team Bloodhound has hired the very same driver as the Thrust SSC to pilot the Bloodhound: Mr. Andy Green. I say pilot, because cars of this nature do have jet engines.
The Bloodhound SSC is powered by two propulsion mechanisms, an EJ200 jet engine coupled with Nammo hybrid rockets can be counted as the most energetic one. At the same time, a Cosworth CA2010 V8 engine is also built in the car, which will act as an auxiliary power unit. The pilot Green is both a mathematician and experienced jet pilot. It appears that, given their esteemed track record for producing reliable precision instruments, his choice was to ask Rolex to produce some instruments. As for him, analog watch dials are much easier to read, this is why he required further instruments to be analog versus digital.
Though the Chronograph looks very much like a replica watch, it is aviation instrument-inspired as well. The chronograph combines both a clock for the time as well as a stopwatch. The time is displayed on a subsidiary dial with the hours and minutes, while the main dial is used to measure chronograph seconds and minutes. Each hand on the dial is operated via its own motor which maximizes the speed at which they can move and their precision.
The chronograph measures up to 60 minutes and the seconds hand is precise to 1/8 of a second. The most amazing part of the device is the GPS-controlled time calculation mechanism with a plug-in of a small satellite antenna. In addition to the Rolex branding and style, the Fake Rolex Bloodhound SSC chronograph has a backlit display.
Customers would wonder that on earth how amazing would this jet engine-powered car be? The speeds of it can be up to 1, 000 mph? Anyway, we cannot get the answer until 2016. Well, we have to admit that this is what many scientists dreamed of.
