Oyster Perpetual
With its two time zones and its annual calendar, the Sky-Dweller is an elegant and trusted companion for world travellers. The range has been updated with numerous enhancements proving that, for Rolex, excellence plays out even in the tiniest details.
Aesthetic embellishments are introduced with new versions joining the range. And the watch sees technical evolutions with the introduction of a movement equipped with the latest advances in Rolex technology.
18 ct white gold makes a comeback to the Sky-Dweller range. This precious alloy is combined with a bright black dial and, for the first time, with an Oysterflex bracelet. Equipped with an Oysterclasp and the Glidelock extension system, this bracelet brings enhanced comfort on the wrist. New dial colours adorn the face of the Sky-Dweller: a delicate mint green offered on the white Rolesor versions, and an elegant blue-green exclusively on the reference in 18 ct Everose gold fitted on an Oyster bracelet.
The Saros annual calendar, patented by Rolex, was developed specially for the Sky-Dweller. A key element of the model’s identity, it is simple to read: the current month being shown in red in one of 12 apertures around the circumference of the dial at the extremity of the hour markers (January at 1 o’clock, February at 2 o’clock, and so on). Automatically differentiating between 30-day and 31-day months, this calendar consequently requires only one date adjustment a year, when the month changes from February to March.
The Sky-Dweller includes the Ring Command system, an interface between the rotatable bezel, winding crown and movement that allows the wearer to select and set the timepiece’s functions easily, quickly and securely. By turning the fluted Ring Command bezel counterclockwise by one, two or three positions, the wearer selects the function in question, before adjusting it via the winding crown: calendar, first position; local time, second position; reference time, third position.
The new-generation Sky-Dweller is equipped with calibre 9002. A derivation of calibre 9001, which has driven the model since its launch in 2012, it is among the most complex movements designed by Rolex engineers.
Enabling the display of the hours, minutes, seconds, the date and the month, as well as an additional time zone in 24-hour format, calibre 9002 includes the latest technical innovations that Rolex has brought to its movements – Chronergy escapement, Paraflex shock absorbers and a new oscillating weight with an optimized ball bearing.
With its latest creations, Rolex demonstrates its perpetual pursuit of excellence.
