In 2000, Rolex entered the new world of modern watchmaking. In the Rolex Daytona, it introduced the in-house 4130 movement, featuring the .
Rolex employs a “Free Spring” balance wheel whereby there is nothing prohibiting the hairspring from breathing naturally. Other movement manufacturers, namely ETA, utilize a regulator mechanism whereby the hairspring is either lengthened or shortened by the movement of a regular pin that envelopes the hairspring.
In 2000, Rolex entered the new world of modern watchmaking. In the Rolex Daytona, it introduced the in-house 4130 movement, featuring the first Parachrom Bleu balance spring. This was significant for two reasons. This is because the hairspring, particularly when paired with a Breguet overcoil, is free to "breathe" concentrically as it contracts and expands with balance oscillation. This concentric breathing theoretically means than the watch's rate changes less when put into different positions.Throughout its life, the Rolex Daytona has had three generations of movements – the manual-wind Valjoux calibers, followed by two automatic movements: one based on the Zenith El Primero, and most recently, one that is entirely of Rolex’s own design: the Cal. 4130. Rolex (and Patek Philippe) utilizes nothing to inhibit the balance wheel -the wheel oscillates freely, and hence, “free-sprung.” Starting in 1959 with the caliber 1565, Rolex utilizes two-pairs of weighted nuts mounted inside the balance wheel to adjust the balance wheel’s inertia.

Index adjustment or free sprung? The next step is counting the spring and pinning it up to the correct length on the balance-staff collet and the balance-cock stud — a mobile stud in the best watches. The adjuster will also need to know how to fashion a terminal curve on the spring to make it expand and contract concentrically.
In 2005, Rolex upgraded the material with a thicker blue surface structure with Parachrom blue. In 2014, Rolex also introduced silicon hairsprings in its calibre 2236 (for women’s watches). Naturally, the efforts of Rolex to fight magnetism go beyond the hairspring. In the free sprung setup you adjust Microstella screws on the inside of the balance rim, which speed up or slow down the balance due to the inertia in the balance — think of a ballerina in a pirouette, she brings her arms in closer in order to speed up her spin.
Today, 90 percent of Rolex watches today feature the brand’s in-house Parachrom hairspring. Parachrom is a material that is smelted in-house by Rolex from a combination of niobium, zirconium and oxygen. It is drawn using various dies, from a solid bar to a wire thinner than a human hair. Rolex made the free sprung balance wheel in the 3135 from a high performance alloy of beryllium and copper known as Glucydur. Many of the world’s top watchmakers favor its rigidity and resistance to the effects of temperature variations.

At 44 mm in diameter, the Sea-Dweller Deepsea is one of Rolex's heftiest watches. It was first released in 2008 and bears the reference number 116660. The bigger size serves a purpose, as Rolex improved the water rating to 3,990 m (399 bar, 13,090 ft). The caliber 3135 ensures the watch's high level of precision.
