Baselworld 2012 Spotlight: Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky Dweller

Mar 12, 2012

The long anticipated release of the new addition to the Rolex Oyster collection has been officially released at Baselworld 2012. The new Oyster Perpetual Sky Dweller was uniquely designed for the global traveler. Carefully crafted for the capability to easily keep track of time where ever your travel takes you, the new collection revealed some new features that have been patented (14 to be exact and 5 of which are new).

The new watch features consist of local time reading, dual time zone with a 24-hour conversion, and also incorporates an annual calendar which includes months using a cutting edge calendar named SAROS. SAROS is the patented mechanism inspired by the astrological occurrence that requires the user to only adjust the watch once a year when the month changes from February to March. Other new attributes include a new calibre movement. The new calibre 9001 is created by Rolex and is an officially certified Swiss chronometer. The calibre 9001 uses a self-winding function that uses Rolex’s perpetual rotor to utilize the movements of your wrist to continuously wind.

The Sky Dweller was developed for those who admire exceptional ease of use and effective functions. The patented interface using the “Ring Command Bezel” that allows you to adjust your preference of functions makes the Sky Dweller remarkably easy to navigate.

Beyond the advanced components, the Sky Dweller also includes some notable aesthetic features such as the fluted bidirectional bezel and the lustrous Arabic Roman numerals applied in white gold. Choose from 18 karat white, yellow, or Everose gold cast with polished finishes. The Oyster Perpetual Sky Dweller is a mastery watch that combines innovation, exceptional function, and superb aesthetics.
