Born in 1926, the Oyster Rolex adapts to modern times and presents its latest creations, continuing its never-ending quest for excellence.
In its new collection, Rolex showcases the perfection of every element, questioning every achievement and mastering every skill. The models presented demonstrate a willingness to constantly reinvent itself, to innovate without losing the spirit of tradition, and to put technology at the service of creative audacity.
In the tradition of its founder, Hans Wilsdorf, who registered the Rolex brand in 1908 after innumerable attempts that were ahead of their time, the demand for "superlatives" continues today, manifesting itself in every phase of production, down to the smallest detail, creating and perpetuating watchmaking references that, over time, become icons.
Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona
On the occasion of the model's 60th anniversary, Rolex perpetuates the myth of its chronograph by revising the entire range. The Cosmograph Daytona now has a more modern look, with a dial featuring a new graphic balance.
The caliber features an aesthetic never before seen on a Rolex: a Côtes de Genève Rolex decoration and an openworked oscillating weight. In the 950 platinum version, the oscillating weight is in 18-carat yellow gold and is visible through the transparent case-back - a first for the Oyster Perpetual collection.
Perpetual 1908
The 1908 is an extension of Rolex's original fearlessness. Inspired by one of Rolex's first Perpetual rotor watches, the name "1908" refers to the year the brand was officially registered in Switzerland.
The shape of the hands, the faceted hour markers and the bezel - curved and finely fluted - are all part of Rolex's watchmaking heritage. Available in 18K yellow or white gold, with a deep white or deep black dial, the new watch features a slim case. Its transparent caseback reveals a uniquely decorated movement.
Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42
Lightweight and robust, the new Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium is adapted to the demands and constraints of sport sailing. RLX titanium, an alloy characterized by its lightness and resistance to deformation and corrosion, is used for the case and the Oyster bracelet.
A combination of polished, brushed and technical satin-brushed finishes demonstrate Rolex's expertise in this field.
Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller
With its two time zones and its annual Saros calendar, the renewal of the model begins with an aesthetic evolution, with modalities that extend the range, 18-carat white gold returns with a vibrant black dial on an Oysterflex bracelet. Equipped with an Oysterclasp and the Rolex Glidelock extension system, it offers enhanced comfort.
It features new dial shades: a delicate mint green in the white Rolesor version and an elegant blue-green in the 18K Everose gold version on an Oyster bracelet.
Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II
Available in two new versions - yellow gold and 18K yellow gold - with a Cerachrom disk in gray and black ceramic, an unprecedented color combination.
The contrast between the golden glow of the Jubilee bracelet and the two-tone bezel in dark and sober tones evokes the passage of the sun and the alternation of day and night. Its elegance is enhanced by a black lacquered dial and a 24-hour hand in 18K yellow gold.
Oyster Perpetual Explorer 40
A new 40 mm diameter model has been added to the Explorer line. Simple, robust and corrosion-resistant, the new Explorer 40 is made of Oyster Steel, an alloy exclusive to Rolex.
The satin-brushed finish on the case, bracelet and clasp, and the light reflections on the polished case sides, invite you to contemplate this iconic tool watch.
Oyster Perpetual
The 31mm, 36mm and 41mm Oyster Perpetuals have a cheerful and optimistic look with their new lacquered dials dotted with multicolored bubbles, bringing together the five colors introduced in 2020.
The chromatic effervescence and graphic euphoria are the result of technical mastery. The production of the dial, which is carried out under very strict conditions, requires meticulousness at every stage in order to make each color something wonderful.
Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36
The new Day-Date 36 features ornamental stone dials in shimmering hues that evoke the atmosphere of the Mediterranean coastline. Green, carnelian and turquoise are paired with everose, yellow or white 18K gold.
The crystallization effects, matrices and veins characteristic of each of these stones make each dial a unique work of art. The stone does not reveal its unique face until it has been worked.
Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36
The Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 offers the possibility of adapting the time display to your mood by displaying a new emotion each day. The day window presents a calendar of intentions with inscriptions such as Love, Peace or Hope. The date window displays a repertoire of emotions represented by 31 specially designed emoticons.
The dial, with its colorful and original motif, evokes the idea that the puzzle of life is built day by day, and that each piece symbolizes a key moment of existence.
