Huh? First the whole swimsuit styling is out of context. Trudy Ederle was the first woman who conquered swimming the English Channel in a scandalous silk swimsuit with rubber swim cap and goggles. She was covered in sheep grease by her trainer Bill Burgess to help her skim through the water.


These were her goggles, now on display at the Smithsonian Institute. So somehow the Rolex ads, while visually appealing, just have it all wrong.
