Oyster Perpetual – Sergio Capone

Rolex Oyster Perpetual
A world of possibilities

Symbols of a classic and universal style, watches in the Oyster Perpetual range offer the essential functions: hours, minutes and seconds. Deeply rooted in Rolex's pioneering tradition, these models embody timeless form and functionality. They are the expression of the timepiece in its purest form.

Oyster Perpetual watches are the direct descendants of the original Oyster, the world's first waterproof wristwatch, on which Rolex has forged its reputation for excellence since 1926. The Oyster Perpetual, chronometer-certified Superlative Chronometer, benefits from all the key features of the Oyster Perpetual collection: excellent chronometric precision, the water resistance of the Oyster case, and the self-winding mechanical movement with Perpetual rotor. Understated and aesthetic, it is distinguished by its elegant and universal style.

The Oyster Perpetual is the expression of the Oyster in its purest form.

Dynamic and always relevant

The Oyster Perpetual offers an accurate display of hours, minutes and seconds. The different declinations of the watch are distinguished by the refined or bright colors of the dials, which range from silver-colored to bright blue or black, in the more sophisticated versions with a soleil finish, through the more vibrant shades of lacquered dials, such as candy pink, light turquoise, or green. Offered in five sizes-28 mm, 31 mm, 34 mm, 36 mm and 41 mm-the Oyster Perpetual offers the largest variety of diameters within a Rolex range.

The watches have a secure and comfortable three-row Oyster bracelet. The bracelet features an Oysterclasp clasp with a folding clasp and has the Easylink quick extension link, developed by Rolex, which allows its length to be adjusted by about 5 mm.

Oyster Perpetuals are made exclusively of Oystersteel. Developed specifically for Rolex, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L family of steels, alloys generally used in high technology. Extremely resistant to corrosion, Oystersteel, when polished, boasts a distinctive, long-lasting luster.

Reliability and accuracy

The Oyster Perpetual's case is guaranteed waterproof to 100 meters. The case middle is machined from a solid block of Oystersteel. The thin-grooved case back is hermetically screwed down with a special tool; thus, only Rolex-certified watchmakers can access the movement. Another essential element for the watch's water resistance is the Twinlock winding crown, securely screwed to the case and equipped with a double waterproofing system.

Depending on its size, the Oyster Perpetual is equipped with caliber 2232 (for the 28 mm, 31 mm and 34 mm models) or caliber 3230 (for the 36 mm and 41 mm models), self-winding mechanical movements entirely developed and produced by Rolex that guarantee high performance particularly in the areas of precision, autonomy, comfort of use and reliability.

Superlative Chronometer Certification

Like all Rolex watches, Oyster Perpetuals boast Superlative Chronometer certification. This title certifies that every watch that leaves the Brand's laboratories has successfully passed a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its laboratories according to its own criteria. Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that accompanies each Rolex watch along with a five-year international warranty.
