The latest novelties from Rolex revisit beloved timepieces from its iconic collections with new reinterpretations that achieve the perfect balance of precision and preciousness, by a subtle interplay of hues. The marque has added new models to its Deepsea, Daytona and Sky-Dweller lines
Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea
The Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea is presented in 18 ct yellow gold for the first time and sports a 60-minute graduated Cerachrom bezel insert in blue ceramic as well as a blue lacquer dial bearing the name ‘Deepsea’ in powdered yellow. This new version incorporates a technical innovation: a high-performance compression ring within the Ringlock system crafted from ceramic. Coloured blue and embellished with a circular satin finish and inscriptions that are engraved then gilded, this component also marks a new way of integrating ceramic into a watch case: the compression-resistance and anti-deformation properties of this high-tech material contribute to the waterproofness of the watch. The Rolex Deepsea is equipped with calibre 3235, enabling it to display the date as well as the hours, minutes, and seconds. Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea carries the Superlative Chronometer Certification. This deep-sea divers’ watch is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 3,900 m (12,800 ft).
Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona
Rolex is unveiling two precious and exclusive versions of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona distinctive for their contrasting dial made from natural mother-of-pearl and graced with eight diamonds and three Chromalight hour markers. Both watches are crafted in 18 ct white gold and crowned with a bezel set with 36 brilliant-cut diamonds. The first version, fitted on an Oysterflex bracelet, features a dial in white mother-of-pearl with chronograph counters in black mother-of-pearl. The colour combination is reversed on the second watch, which has an Oyster bracelet and a black mother-of-pearl dial with white mother-of-pearl counters. This design called for the creation of a specific and technically demanding manufacturing process. The timepiece is equipped with calibre 4131 that enables the watch to measure intervals of time via the chronograph function, in addition to displaying the hours, minutes and seconds. The 40 mm Oyster case of the Cosmograph Daytona is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet). Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona carries the Superlative Chronometer certification.
Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller
The two new 18 ct gold versions of the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller sport Jubilee bracelets. It is the first time that this watch for world travellers has been fitted with a Jubilee bracelet in precious metal. The first version is crafted in 18 ct Everose gold and features a slate dial, while the second, fashioned from 18 ct yellow gold, displays an intense white dial. The two Jubilee bracelets are equipped with an Oysterclasp, the clasp traditionally used on the Sky-Dweller. And, like the majority of Rolex bracelets made from precious materials, they include ceramic inserts inside their links. The Sky-Dweller is equipped with calibre 9002, a movement at the forefront of watchmaking technology that enables it to display the date and the month, as well as an additional time zone in 24-hour format, and the hours, minutes, and seconds. Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller carries the Superlative Chronometer certification and is waterproof to 100 metres (330 feet).
