Important Notice regarding importation into the United States of Rolex watches

This timepiece is named after one of the most successful and famous Colombian racing drivers, Juan Pablo Montoya. The details of the watch reflect the aesthetics and technical features of racing cars. The bezel screws are shaped like cylinder head screws. The crown is reminiscent of a wheel axle, the pushbuttons resemble cooling flaps, while the rotor of the automatic movement, revealed through the sapphire crystal case-back, looks very much like a clutch disc.  Along with the most cutting-edge research undertaken in the sphere of Formula 1 motor-racing, together with incomparable horological expertise, the seamless merging of two avant-garde technologies is embodied.
