Defying Excellence

PERPETUAL 1908

Elegant, classic and decidedly contemporary, the 1908 immortalizes Rolex’s age-long daring spirit. Its conception is the result of the brand’s comprehensive in-house expertise and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Inspired by one of the first Rolex watches with a Perpetual rotor, this completely new time piece opens the Perpetual collection, which reinterprets the traditional wristwatch through the Rolex avant-garde lens. The name ‘1908’ is a reference to the date the ‘Rolex’ trademark was officially registered in Switzerland.

The shape of the hands, the faceted hour markers, and the bezel – domed and with fine fluting – are emblematic of Rolex’s watch making heritage. They produce a delicate interplay between scintillation and reflection, where light meets shadow, infusing this new watch with a rare beauty and refinement.

The 1908 is available in 18 ct yellow or white gold, with an intense white or intense black dial, and is distinctive for its slim case. The transparent case back opens up new aesthetic perspectives, revealing a uniquely decorated movement.

Superlative Chronometer certified, the 1908 is a distillation of Rolex know-how in terms of technology and design. Its calibre 7140, with small seconds, marries performance and elegance. In addition to the innovations that led to the filing of five patent applications, this move ment, designed and manufactured specifically for the watch, features the Rolex Côtes de Genève decoration and a cut-out oscillating weight in 18 ct yellow gold.

This timepiece is mounted on an alligator leather strap with a green lining, and equipped with the new Dualclasp.

A classic watch that raises the art of watchmaking to new heights, the 1908 carves out a place for itself as a Rolex imbued with traditional spirit yet exuding modernity, and, in so doing, opens a new path.

OYSTER PERPETUAL SKY-DWELLER

With its two time zones and its annual Saros calendar, the Sky-Dweller is an elegant and trusted companion for world travellers. The range has been updated with numerous enhancements which demonstrate excellence even in the tiniest details.

Aesthetic embellishments come in the form of new options and combinations. 18 ct white gold makes a comeback on a version with a bright black dial on an Oysterflex bracelet, fitted with an Oysterclasp and the Rolex Glidelock extension system for optimal comfort. New dial colours adorn the face of the Sky-Dweller: a delicate mint green offered on the white Rolesor version and an elegant blue-green on the variant in 18 ct Everose gold with Oyster bracelet.

Technical evolutions are revealed with the introduction of a movement equipped with the latest advances in Rolex technology. Calibre 9002 incorporates the Chronergy escapement and a new oscillating weight with optimized ball bearing for heightened performance.

OYSTER PERPETUAL EXPLORER 40

The Explorer range is expanded with the arrival of a new, 40 mm model. Offering enhanced legibility, this timepiece carries all the qualities that have made the Explorer – one of the brand’s first Professional watches – a reference throughout the decades. Simple, robust and corrosion-resistant, the new Explorer 40 is crafted from Oystersteel, an alloy specific to Rolex.

The satin finishes on the middle case, bracelet and clasp, and the light reflections from the polished flanks of the case are an enticement to look afresh at this iconic tool watch.

Complementing this understated harmony is a comfortable Oyster bracelet equipped with Oysterlock clasp and Easylink comfort extension link.

OYSTER PERPETUAL DAY-DATE 36

The new Day-Date 36 welcomes dials made of decorative stone in shimmering tones that evoke the atmosphere of the Mediterranean coast.

Green aventurine, carnelian and turquoise are paired with watches in 18 ct Everose, yellow and white gold respectively. The crystallized effects, matrices and veins peculiar to these decorative stones make every watch face a unique work of art. The stone reveals its distinctive traits only once it has been crafted. Individual finishing of each dial is then performed to satisfy the brand’s exacting quality requirements.

As expressions of Rolex’s dial-making expertise, the new Day-Date 36 watches are also a testament to the brand’s perfect mastery of the gem-setting art. This exclusive union of exceptional stones, gems and precious metals emphasizes the distinction and elegance of this prestigious watch.
