Rolex Oyster Perpetual
A fresh look

Lavender, beige or pistachio, these new lacquered dials are also characterized by their matte finish – a combination not seen in the brand’s current catalogue.

The lavender matte lacquer dial is unveiled on the Oyster Perpetual 28 and the beige matte lacquer dial on the Oyster Perpetual 36. The pistachio matte lacquer dial bedecks the Oyster Perpetual 41, which has also been updated with a redesigned Oyster case and a slimmer Oysterclasp.

The Oyster Perpetual 28 is equipped with caliber 2232, while the Oyster Perpetual 36 and Oyster Perpetual 41 are both fitted with caliber 3230. These two movements at the forefront of watchmaking technology provide essential functions – hours, minutes and seconds.

Watches in the Oyster Perpetual range are direct descendants of the original Oyster, the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, on which Rolex has built its reputation since 1926. These timepieces benefit from all the fundamental features of the Oyster Perpetual collection – chronometric precision, a waterproof Oyster case, and self-winding of the movement via a Perpetual rotor. Made exclusively of Oystersteel with a sophisticated finish, they represent chronometer wristwatches in their purest form. Timeless in their essence, they are continually reinterpreted and have gradually been endowed with the brand’s technical innovations. The varied and constantly evolving colors and design of the dials ensure the Oyster Perpetual never loses its fresh and contemporary appeal.

Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual 28, Oyster Perpetual 36 and Oyster Perpetual 41 are covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification redefined by Rolex in 2015. This designation testifies that every watch leaving the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria, following the official certification of the movements by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). These in-house certification tests apply to the fully assembled watch, after casing the movement, guaranteeing superlative performance on the wrist in terms of precision, power reserve, waterproofness and self-winding. The precision of a Rolex Superlative Chronometer is of the order of −2/+2 seconds per day – the rate deviation tolerated by the brand for a finished watch is significantly smaller than that accepted by COSC for official certification of the movement alone.

The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.
