The emphasis at Rolex is on expanding and updating iconic models with a renewed focus on quality and creativity.

The brand’s Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller was updated for its 50th anniversary with a larger 43mm case and is powered by the new calibre 3235. The movement boasts 14 patents, including the black Cerachrom bezel insert.

The dial features luminescent Chromalight hour markers and hands. In a departure from tradition, a Cyclops lens is at 3 o’clock. The timepiece is water resistant to 1,200 metres and has a power reserve of 70 hours.

The Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is offered in three versions: yellow gold, white gold and Everose gold. Accompanying it are bracelets made of Oysterflex, an innovative material that hides flexible metal blades within it to make it sturdier.

The dial is complemented by black monobloc Cerachrom bezel. Last year was the first time since 2000 that the brand had introduced a new Cosmograph Daytona, so this year’s new model was a continuation.
