History: The Rolex 1225 is the date-version of caliber Rolex 1220, which represents a dramatic evolution of caliber Rolex 1210. Caliber Rolex 1220 shares the same mechanical platform of caliber Rolex 1210 with the exclusion of the Breguet spring. The balance wheel oscillating frequency increases from the original 2,5Hz (18000 vph) to 3Hz (21600 vph). Caliber Rolex 1225 is a Rolex 1220 caliber with the addition of a date module. The caliber's thickness moves therefore from the original 4,27mm of caliber Rolex 1220 to the 5,07mm of caliber Rolex 1225.

The 1225 is NOT chronometer certified.
Manufacturer:
Rolex SA (/ˈroʊlɛks/) is a Swiss luxury watchmaker. The company and its subsidiary Montres Tudor SA design, manufacture, distribute and service wristwatches sold under the Rolex and Tudor brands. Founded by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis in London, England in 1905 as Wilsdorf and Davis, Rolex moved its base of operations to Geneva, Switzerland in 1919. Forbes ranked Rolex 64th on its 2016 list of the world's most powerful global brands.[Rolex is the largest single high end watch brand. The company is owned by the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, a private family trust.

Alfred Davis and his brother-in-law Hans Wilsdorf founded Wilsdorf and Davis, the company that would eventually become Rolex SA, in London, England in 1905. Wilsdorf and Davis' main commercial activity at the time involved importing Hermann Aegler's Swiss movements to England and placing them in high-quality watch cases made by Dennison and others. These early wristwatches were sold to jewellers, who then put their own names on the dial. The earliest watches from Wilsdorf and Davis were usually hallmarked "W&D" inside the caseback.
