Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust (New Dials)

These well known Rolex models get a facelift. A series of imaginative new dials have been crafted to enhance the beauty of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust. Its just that there are so many young people nowadays owning a Rolex it doesn’t stand out anymore. With these new dials, I’m pretty sure you’ll catch more than just a glance. A lot more pictures below.

Rolex Sea-Dweller

Designed to meet the demands of professional divers, the Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 1,220 meters/4,000 feet. It has a unidirectional bezel for safe immersion time tracking and is self-winding.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer II

There are two models, one with a black dial with an Oysterlock Bracelet and a white dial with an engraved 24-hour bezel.

Common features are:

904L Steel

Only a robust corrosion-resistant, stainless-steel alloy can meet the uncompromising standards of Rolex. It, therefore, uses a unique composition of 904L steel, which can withstand the harshest environments, from the highest peaks to the depths of the ocean. Rolex 904L steel can be polished to achieve an impeccable finish, contributing to the Oyster’s characteristic beauty.

Oyster Case

Crafted from a solid block of stainless steel, gold or platinum, the Oyster case undergoes more than 150 manufacturing steps. A miniature safe, it ensures absolute waterproofness and protects the Rolex movement under the most extreme conditions.

Movement

The height of precision, the self-winding Oyster movement is entirely engineered and manufactured by Rolex. Robust and reliable, every movement guarantees long-term high performance and is an officially certified Swiss chronometer.

Perpetual Rotor

In 1931, Rolex invented and patented the Perpetual rotor, the world’s first self-winding wristwatch mechanism. The Perpetual rotor allows the watch to run continuously as every flick of the wrist winds the movement. The energy generated is stored in the mainspring, which ensures an autonomy of 48 to 72 hours, depending on the model.

Calendar

At midnight, the Rolex calendar instantly jumps to the next date. This ingenious mechanism was introduced in 1945 on the Oyster Perpetual Datejust and assures perfect accuracy of the movement during the date change which is triggered using stored energy.

Rolex Air-King

If you want to own a Rolex watch but cringe at the exorbitant price, the Air-King might lift your spirits.

A part of the Oyster Perpetual line, it is the least expensive wristwatch in the Rolex collection. And if you are a military aviation buff, you might want to wear this watch just for the historical value it represents.

Some slight variants in the dial design.

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is an officially certified, self-winding chronometer wristwatch with chronograph functions. From its beginnings in 1961, the Cosmograph, Cosmograph Daytona and Oyster Cosmograph Daytona chronographs were produced continuously until 1988, when they were replaced with versions featuring self-winding movements, from Zenith’s El Primero caliber, under the name Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph. Since 2000, Rolex began manufacturing its own movements and developed the Rolex 4130 caliber (model number: 116520). Due to its limited production and increasing popularity, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is considered a rare watch to own.
