Very Cool! Thanks for sharing this...

That's very interesting. I had no idea Rolex were longstanding funding partners with Nat Geo. I remember reading National Geographic when I was a kid and marvelling at the photographs, which, in a pre-TV and internet era, were beyond imagination for a kid.

I kind of always assumed it... My brother got a perpetual subscription in the 70s and I still remember clearly the Rolex ads in the magazines back then and it formed my taste for watches.

Rolex are keen sponsors of such organisations. They also sponsor the Royal Geographical Society and The Explorers Club. Very good of them

Sadly, National Geographic has as much of a Political as Scientific agenda.

I remember Rolex ads in their magazine from decades ago.
