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.

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

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.

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

I remember Rolex ads in their magazine from decades ago.
