#Rolex #RolexSkyDweller #Oysterflex

This is the NEW 18 carat yellow gold version of the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller, fitted the first time with an Oysterflex bracelet. The watch is also the first in the Classic category of Rolex to include this innovative bracelet made of high-performance elastomer. It also features a bright black, sunray-finish dial with hands and hour markers in 18 carat yellow gold. The light reflections on the case sides and lugs highlight the refined profile of the 42 mm #OysterCase.

The Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller is an elegant watch for frequent-travelers. The Sky-Dweller displays the zone-time in two time zones simultaneously and has an annual calendar. The reference time, in 24-hour format, is shown via an off-centre disc, and the local time is read using conventional centre hands. The annual calendar, named #Saros, automatically differentiates between 30- and 31-day months. It is operated by a patented mechanism and stands out for its innovative display: the months of the year are indicated in 12 apertures around the circumference of the dial, with the current month marked in red. The instantaneous date change is linked to the local time.

The #OysterPerpetualSkyDweller is equipped with the fluted, rotatable bezel unique to this watch, which is used to set the watch in conjunction with the #RingCommand system. It also has a #Chromalight display. This means that the hands and hour markers are coated or filled with a luminescent material that emits a long-lasting blue glow in dark conditions.

The Sky-Dweller is powered by the Calibre 9001. It is a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. With multiple patents filed, this mechanical, self-winding movement is one of the most complex calibres created by the brand. Its architecture, manufacturing and innovative features make it exceptionally precise and reliable.The Rolex #Calibre9001 has a blue #Parachrom hairspring manufactured by Rolex in an exclusive paramagnetic alloy that makes it up to 10 times more precise than a traditional hairspring in case of shocks. The blue #Parachromhairspring is equipped with a Rolex overcoil, ensuring the calibre’s regularity in any position. The oscillator is fitted on the Rolex-designed and -patented high-performance #Paraflex shock absorbers, increasing the movement’s shock resistance. The Calibre 9001 is equipped with a self-winding module via a Perpetual rotor and offers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.

The Sky-Dweller is fitted with an Oysterflex bracelet, which singularly combines the robustness and reliability of a metal bracelet with the flexibility, comfort and aesthetics of an elastomer strap. Developed and patented by Rolex, this innovative bracelet is made up of flexible metal blades manufactured from a titanium and nickel alloy. The blades are overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer, a material that is particularly resistant to environmental effects and very durable. For enhanced comfort, the inside of the Oysterflex bracelet is equipped with longitudinal cushions.

The Oysterflex bracelet features a folding #Oysterclasp in 18 carat yellow gold, designed and patented by Rolex. In addition, it features the Rolex #Glidelock extension system, also developed and patented by the brand. This particularly inventive mechanism comprises a rack located under the clasp cover and a toothed sliding link that locks into the chosen notch. The Rolex Glidelock on the Oysterflex bracelet has six notches of approximately 2.5 mm, allowing the length of the bracelet to be adjusted easily, and without tools, up to some 15 mm.

Like all Rolex watches, the Sky-Dweller carries the #SuperlativeChronometer certification. These 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, or more than twice that required of an official chronometer.
