A symbol of the wristwatch in its purest form, the Oyster Perpetual’s timelessness resides in the sheer simplicity and elegance of its design. Constant research is conducted to create harmonious lines while integrating the latest Rolex innovations. #Rolex #OysterPerpetual #Oystersteel For more details about this watch see the link in the profile.

Lacquer combines almost limitless freedom of colour with intensity and a smooth finish. The lacquering technique consists of successively depositing six thin layers of lacquer on a brass base plate. A colourless varnish is then applied to give the colour all of its depth and shine. Once the varnish is dry, the surface of the dial is polished to magnify the colour; the dial is then ready to be pad printed and receive its appliques. #Rolex #OysterPerpetual #Perpetual

The hands and hour markers of the Oyster Perpetual are always crafted from 18ct gold, cast in Rolex’s foundry. Symbol of purity and eternal brilliance, gold prevents corrosion and exhibits a subtle sheen, contributing to the timeless aesthetics of the watch. #Rolex #OysterPerpetual #Perpetual

The sunray finish creates delicate light reflections on many dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. It is obtained using masterful brushing techniques that create grooves running outwards from the centre of the dial. Light is diffused consistently along each engraving, creating a characteristic subtle glow that moves depending on the position of the wrist. Once the sunray finish has been completed, the dial colour is applied using Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating. A light coat of varnish gives the dial its final look. The entire process is mastered in-house by Rolex experts. #Rolex #OysterPerpetual #Perpetual

With the slightest wrist movement, the half-moon shaped component – known as the oscillating weight – pivots freely and silently, driven by Earth’s gravity. As it moves, it continuously winds the mainspring, the calibre’s source of energy. Invented in 1931 by Rolex, the Perpetual rotor marked a key moment in the history of modern watchmaking, and its operating principle remains unchanged to this day. In its quest to constantly innovate, this year Rolex launched its new calibre 3230 with a power reserve that lasts for approximately three days. #Rolex #OysterPerpetual #Perpetual

The creation of the Submariner is closely linked with the development of professional diving. Starting in the 1950s, Rolex watches accompanied pioneering scuba divers on their missions. The feedback they gave was used to perfect the Submariner launched in 1953, which became a benchmark among divers’ watches. Today, the Submariner continues to embody the relationship between Rolex and the underwater world. From scientists to explorers, the Rolex family is committed to exploring and protecting the oceans. Presented here are: Ghislain Bardout, David Doubilet, Brad Norman, Emma Camp and Sylvia Earle. #Rolex #Submariner #Perpetual

The Chromalight display ensures a clear and reliable reading of the time for divers in dark conditions underwater. An exclusive luminescent material emitting a blue glow is applied to the hands, hour markers and the capsule on the bezel. The luminosity duration is almost double that of a standard phosphorescent material, and the intensity of the glow is more consistent over the emission time. #Rolex #Submariner #Chromalight
