Rolex Oyster Perpetual 26mm in silver dial

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 26mm silver dial.

The Oyster Perpetual range is enhanced with a new model, the Oyster Perpetual 26.

Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.

The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology. First introduced in the late 1930s, this particularly robust and comfortable metal bracelet with its broad, flat three-piece links remains the most universal bracelet in the Oyster collection. For the Oyster Perpetual models the Oyster bracelet is fitted with an Oysterclasp.

The Oyster Perpetual 26 is equipped with calibre 2231, a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex.

At the forefront of watchmaking technology, this self-winding mechanical movement led to the filling of several patents, and offers fundamental gains in terms of precision, power reserve, resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, convenience and reliability.

Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual 26 carries the Superlative Chronometer certification, which ensures excellent performance on the wrist. The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.
