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.

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. |
