There are very few innovations that have shaped the course of\u00a0watchmaking<\/strong>\u00a0as profoundly as the Oyster<\/strong>. Introduced by\u00a0Rolex<\/strong>\u00a0in 1926, it stands as one of the most pivotal developments in the field, a technical construction that, for the first time, brought\u00a0waterproofness<\/strong>\u00a0to the\u00a0wristwatch<\/strong>, redefining its structure, reliability and scope of use. Developed by the visionary\u00a0Hans Wilsdorf<\/strong>, the Oyster system is built around a hermetically sealed case, with a screwed case middle, bezel and caseback, a solution that marked a decisive shift in the design of the modern\u00a0watch<\/strong>. Over the decades, this approach has not only supported the Brand\u2019s technical evolution, but has also intersected with key moments and figures in contemporary history, from\u00a0Winston Churchill<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0Martin Luther King Jr.<\/strong>, anchoring the Oyster far beyond the boundaries of watchmaking itself. In 1931, with the introduction of the\u00a0Perpetual rotor<\/strong>, this concept reached completion, giving rise to a technical architecture that would go on to define\u00a0Rolex\u2019s identity<\/strong>\u00a0in a lasting way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rolex<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One hundred years on from that breakthrough,\u00a0Rolex\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0presentation at\u00a0Watches and Wonders 2026<\/strong>\u00a0follows a remarkably precise line of continuity. The collection is structured around the Brand\u2019s core families, each defined by a clear function and identity:\u00a0Oyster Perpetual<\/strong>,\u00a0Datejust<\/strong>,\u00a0Yacht-Master II<\/strong>, Day-Date<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Cosmograph Daytona<\/strong>. Evolution takes place through a rigorous process of refinement, spanning materials, construction architectures and certification standards. Alongside this, a further structural element runs across the entire collection, the\u00a0Superlative Chronometer certification<\/strong>, now applied to every model introduced this year. From 2026, Rolex has further strengthened its evaluation criteria, introducing new parameters related to resistance to magnetic fields, reliability and long-term durability, monitored throughout every stage of design and production. These build on already established requirements for precision, waterproofness,\u00a0self-winding<\/strong>\u00a0performance and power reserve, all assessed on the finished watch rather than the movement alone. The result is an exceptionally stringent\u00a0in-house<\/strong>\u00a0standard, verified through hundreds of checks and validated by independent bodies, ensuring consistent performance on the wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OYSTER PERPETUAL: ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF AN ICON<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A century after its introduction, the\u00a0Oyster<\/strong>\u00a0continues to hold a central position within the\u00a0Rolex<\/strong>\u00a0universe. At this year\u2019s\u00a0Watches and Wonders<\/strong>, Rolex dedicates to the\u00a0Oyster Perpetual<\/strong>\u00a0a series of variations that revisit this legacy through different expressions and in a contemporary lens, yet with the same underlying coherence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OYSTER PERPETUAL 41 Ref.134303<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Oyster Perpetual 41<\/strong>\u00a0is the model that most explicitly takes on the role of the centenary timepiece. Presented in\u00a0yellow Rolesor<\/strong>, it pairs a yellow gold bezel and winding crown with an\u00a0Oystersteel<\/strong>\u00a0case and bracelet, a configuration that echoes some of the earliest Oyster examples while reworking an aesthetic deeply rooted in the Brand\u2019s history in a contemporary way. The bracelet further distinguishes itself through the choice of rendering the central links in Oystersteel as well, in continuity with the outer links and the case middle, rather than in yellow gold as in more traditional Rolesor configurations. References to the anniversary are numerous yet seamlessly integrated: the raised \u201c100\u201d on the winding crown, the \u201c100 years\u201d inscription on the slate dial at 6 o\u2019clock replacing the traditional \u201cSwiss Made\u201d, and Rolex\u2019s signature green, echoed in the minute track and in the pad-printed logo on the dial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This model is powered by the\u00a0calibre 3230<\/strong>, a\u00a0self-winding mechanical movement<\/strong>\u00a0with a bidirectional Perpetual rotor<\/strong>, entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Equipped with a\u00a0Chronergy escapement<\/strong>, a paramagnetic blue\u00a0Parachrom hairspring<\/strong>\u00a0and a high-performance\u00a0Paraflex shock absorber<\/strong>, it delivers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and a precision of \u22122\/+2 seconds per day, with the movement cased. The 41 mm\u00a0Oyster case<\/strong>, featuring a monobloc middle case, screw-down caseback and\u00a0Twinlock crown<\/strong>, is guaranteed waterproof to 100 metres, while the three-link\u00a0Oyster bracelet<\/strong>, with\u00a0Oysterclasp<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Easylink<\/strong>\u00a0comfort extension link, completes a construction focused on robustness, comfort and visual continuity. The price is \u20ac 9,500<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OYSTER PERPETUAL 36 Ref.126000<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the\u00a0Oyster Perpetual 36<\/strong>, Rolex turns its attention to dial surface and to the depth of its own aesthetic heritage. Crafted in\u00a0Oystersteel<\/strong>, the model features a lacquered multicolour dial with a\u00a0Jubilee motif<\/strong>, here entirely reinterpreted in a more graphic, luminous and contemporary composition. The letters of the \u201cRolex\u201d name are distributed across the surface in a play of contrasts involving ten different shades, resulting in a dial with strong personality yet perfectly controlled. The execution of this dial requires a particularly complex process, as the colours are not applied simultaneously but one after another using\u00a0pad printing<\/strong>, with an extremely high level of precision needed to ensure the exact placement of each shape and each letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oyster Perpetual 36 is also equipped with the\u00a0calibre 3230<\/strong>, featuring a\u00a0Chronergy escapement<\/strong>, blue\u00a0Parachrom hairspring<\/strong>,\u00a0Perpetual rotor<\/strong>\u00a0and approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The 36 mm\u00a0Oyster case<\/strong>, waterproof to 100 metres, retains all the construction features that define the collection, from the screw-down caseback to the\u00a0Twinlock crown<\/strong>, while the Oyster bracelet with\u00a0Oysterclasp<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Easylink<\/strong>\u00a0ensures both robustness and fluidity on the wrist. The stated price is \u20ac 6,600<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OYSTER PERPETUAL 34 Ref.124205<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Oyster Perpetual 34<\/strong>\u00a0interprets the same idea through a different shade of precious metal. Here, the case and bracelet are crafted in 18 ct\u00a0Everose gold<\/strong>, Rolex\u2019s proprietary alloy, paired with a lacquered blue stone dial, also new to the collection. As with the 28 mm model, the indices at 3, 6 and 9 o\u2019clock are made of natural stone, in this case\u00a0dumortierite<\/strong>, a blue mineral with lighter or deeper tonal variations that introduces a subtle and sophisticated chromatic shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oyster Perpetual 34 is fitted with the\u00a0calibre 2232<\/strong>, featuring a silicon\u00a0Syloxi hairspring<\/strong>,\u00a0Perpetual rotor<\/strong>\u00a0and approximately 55 hours of power reserve. The 34 mm\u00a0Oyster case<\/strong>, with monobloc middle case, screw-down caseback and\u00a0Twinlock crown<\/strong>, is guaranteed waterproof to 100 metres. The 18 ct Everose gold\u00a0Oyster bracelet<\/strong>\u00a0also integrates ceramic inserts within the links, improving longevity and smoothness, and is equipped with an\u00a0Oysterclasp<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Easylink<\/strong>extension system. The \u22122\/+2 seconds per day precision and\u00a0Superlative Chronometer certification<\/strong>\u00a0confirm the model\u2019s full alignment with the manufacture\u2019s highest standards. The price is \u20ac 37,600<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OYSTER PERPETUAL 28 Ref.276208<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the\u00a0Oyster Perpetual 28<\/strong>, Rolex introduces a new expression of precious metal within the collection. The case and bracelet are crafted in 18 ct yellow gold, while the lacquered green stone dial expands the Brand\u2019s colour palette with a previously unseen shade. Defining the model are the indices at 3, 6 and 9 o\u2019clock in\u00a0heliotrope<\/strong>, a natural stone used here for the first time by Rolex in the Oyster Perpetual range. Cut in an ogive shape on the upper side, these indices are designed to enhance the structure and tone of the stone while avoiding any unwanted reflections. The satin-finished surfaces of the case and bracelet interact with the polished domed bezel, giving the watch a presence that feels refined yet restrained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement is the\u00a0calibre 2232<\/strong>, also entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. It is a\u00a0self-winding mechanical movement<\/strong>\u00a0with a bidirectional\u00a0Perpetual rotor<\/strong>, featuring a silicon\u00a0Syloxi hairspring<\/strong>, a paramagnetic nickel-phosphorus escape wheel and a\u00a0Paraflex shock absorber<\/strong>. The power reserve is approximately 55 hours, while precision remains within \u22122\/+2 seconds per day. The 28 mm Oyster case<\/strong>\u00a0is waterproof to 100 metres, the 18 ct yellow gold\u00a0Oyster bracelet<\/strong>\u00a0incorporates ceramic inserts within the links to enhance both fluidity and resistance to wear, and is fitted with an\u00a0Oysterclasp<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Easylink<\/strong>\u00a0comfort extension link. The price is \u20ac29,700.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DATEJUST 41 Ref.126334<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Introduced in 1945, the\u00a0Datejust<\/strong>\u00a0holds a unique position in the history of watchmaking. It was the first wristwatch to combine\u00a0chronometer certification<\/strong>,\u00a0automatic winding<\/strong>\u00a0and waterproofness while displaying the date in a window on the dial, bringing together in a single architecture some of the most important innovations developed by Rolex over the years. Since then, the Datejust has established itself as the Brand\u2019s archetype of the classic watch, maintaining a strong formal and functional continuity while continuously evolving on both a technical and aesthetic level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rolex<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The version presented at\u00a0Watches and Wonders 2026<\/strong>\u00a0introduces a new interpretation of the\u00a0Oyster Perpetual Datejust 41<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0white Rolesor<\/strong>, a combination of\u00a0Oystersteel<\/strong>\u00a0and white gold, where the\u00a0fluted bezel<\/strong>\u00a0interacts with the solidity of the case and bracelet. The central element is the lacquered green ombr\u00e9 dial<\/strong>, a signature Rolex shade developed here through a process entirely based on lacquering: the base is created by applying a rich green lacquer, while the peripheral gradient takes shape through a concentric spraying of black lacquer, creating a progressive and precisely controlled visual depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rolex<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On this surface, the white inscriptions stand out with clarity, while the 18 ct white gold indices and hands, fitted with\u00a0Chromalight<\/strong>\u00a0luminescent material, ensure consistent legibility in all conditions. The date window at 3 o\u2019clock, a defining feature of the Datejust since its introduction, benefits from the sapphire Cyclops lens<\/strong>\u00a0with anti-reflective coating, enhancing visibility and reinforcing its function. The 41 mm Oyster case<\/strong>, machined from a solid block of Oystersteel, is designed to ensure both robustness and elegance, with a hermetically screwed caseback and a\u00a0Twinlock winding crown<\/strong>equipped with a double waterproofness system. The sapphire crystal, virtually scratchproof, completes a construction waterproof to 100 metres, designed to optimally protect the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rolex<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inside the case is the\u00a0calibre 3235<\/strong>, a\u00a0self-winding mechanical movement<\/strong>\u00a0with\u00a0Perpetual rotor<\/strong>, entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Featuring a high-efficiency\u00a0Chronergy escapement<\/strong>, a paramagnetic blue\u00a0Parachrom hairspring<\/strong>\u00a0and a\u00a0Paraflex shock absorber<\/strong>, the calibre delivers high standards of precision, reliability and autonomy, with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and an accuracy of \u22122\/+2 seconds per day. The three-link\u00a0Oyster bracelet<\/strong>\u00a0completes the watch: equipped with an\u00a0Oysterclasp<\/strong>\u00a0folding clasp and\u00a0Easylink<\/strong>\u00a0extension system, it allows for quick length adjustment while maintaining full coherence with the overall architecture of the timepiece. The price for this model is \u20ac9,050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY-DATE 40 Ref.228235JG<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Introduced in 1956, the\u00a0Day-Date<\/strong>\u00a0brought one of the most emblematic functions in modern watchmaking: the full display of the day of the week on the dial. The first wristwatch to combine this indication with the date, automatic winding and\u00a0chronometer certification<\/strong>, it quickly established itself as a complete synthesis of the innovations Rolex had developed up to that point. Over the decades, the Day-Date became closely associated with leading institutional and political figures. Worn by numerous world leaders, including\u00a0Eisenhower<\/strong>,\u00a0Johnson<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Kennedy<\/strong>, this timepiece entered the collective imagination under the nickname \u201cPresident\u201d. A name that refers not only to those who wore it, but also to the dedicated\u00a0President bracelet<\/strong>, designed specifically for this model and now an integral part of its identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rolex<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the very beginning, the Day-Date has been crafted exclusively in precious metals, a choice that defines its position within the Rolex collection. The version presented at\u00a0Watches and Wonders 2026<\/strong>\u00a0continues along this line with the introduction of the\u00a0Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40<\/strong>\u00a0in 18 ct\u00a0Jubilee Gold<\/strong>, a new alloy entirely developed and produced\u00a0in-house<\/strong>, conceived to express a tone that sits between yellow, white and Everose gold. The light green\u00a0aventurine dial<\/strong>introduces a particularly refined material dimension. Its surface, crossed by fine sparkling reflections, creates a subtle yet continuous luminous effect that integrates seamlessly with the tone of the case and bracelet, maintaining a controlled and legible display at all times. The 40 mm\u00a0Oyster case<\/strong>, with monobloc middle case, screw-down caseback and\u00a0Twinlock crown<\/strong>\u00a0with double waterproofness system, ensures water resistance to 100 metres, while the\u00a0President bracelet<\/strong>, with its three-piece semi-circular links, guarantees formal continuity, comfort and stability on the wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA Ref.126502<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Introduced in 1963, the\u00a0Cosmograph Daytona<\/strong>\u00a0was created to meet the needs of professional racing drivers, becoming over time one of the most recognisable\u00a0chronographs<\/strong>\u00a0in contemporary watchmaking. Its name remains closely tied to the world of motorsport and the Daytona circuit, while its identity has also been shaped by iconic figures such as\u00a0Paul Newman<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Sir Jackie Stewart<\/strong>, who have helped cement its connection to the automotive world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YACHT-MASTER II Ref.126680<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the new generation of the\u00a0Yacht-Master II<\/strong>, Rolex revisits one of its most complex models with a focused approach, simplifying readability and usability without reducing its technical sophistication. The result is a timepiece with a more essential feel, where every element has been recalibrated to improve ergonomics, clarity and functional coherence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rolex<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The dial adopts a cleaner layout, defined by the broad indices typical of\u00a0Rolex Professional watches<\/strong>, while the\u00a0countdown minute track<\/strong>\u00a0is moved to the\u00a0rehaut<\/strong>, contributing to a more efficient visual organisation of information. The contrast between the matte white dial and the deep blue\u00a0Cerachrom bezel insert<\/strong>\u00a0reinforces the model\u2019s nautical identity, while the pushers, inspired by sailing winches, underline its direct connection to the marine environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the core of the Yacht-Master II is the\u00a0programmable countdown function<\/strong>, developed to support the starting phases of a regatta. In this new generation, Rolex has thoroughly reworked its operation to improve both intuitiveness and efficiency. The setting of the countdown is now handled exclusively via the lower pusher, simplifying interaction with the watch in the most critical moments. This evolution is paired with a substantial change in legibility: the dedicated countdown hands now rotate counterclockwise, offering a more immediate perception of the remaining time. A solution that preserves the complexity of the function while making it easier to read at a glance, further reinforcing the instrument-driven nature of the watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powering the model is the\u00a0calibre 4162<\/strong>, a\u00a0self-winding mechanical movement<\/strong>\u00a0entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, with an approximate 72-hour power reserve, specifically engineered to integrate the countdown function with mechanical memory and on-the-fly synchronisation. The 44 mm\u00a0Oyster case<\/strong>, waterproof to 100 metres, retains the Brand\u2019s signature construction, with a monobloc middle case, screw-down caseback and an 18 ct yellow gold\u00a0Triplock winding crown<\/strong>, equipped with a triple waterproofness system. The high-technology ceramic\u00a0Cerachrom bezel<\/strong>, scratch-resistant and virtually impervious to colour fading, features the graduated scale and enhances overall legibility, while also playing a functional role in activating and adjusting the countdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-link\u00a0Oyster bracelet<\/strong>\u00a0is designed to ensure robustness and comfort even in dynamic conditions. Fitted with an\u00a0Oysterlock<\/strong>\u00a0safety clasp, it provides a secure and stable fit on the wrist. The\u00a0Yacht-Master II<\/strong>\u00a0is offered in two versions,\u00a0Oystersteel<\/strong>\u00a0and 18 ct yellow gold, both conceived to meet different needs while preserving the model\u2019s technical vocation. The price is \u20ac 20,050 for the steel <\/strong>version and \u20ac 57,100 for the gold one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONCLUSIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One hundred years after the introduction of the\u00a0Oyster<\/strong>, what stands out is not so much the evolution itself, but the way it is carried out.\u00a0Rolex<\/strong>\u00a0works through minimal variations, often almost imperceptible, yet always decisive: a surface, an alloy, a rethought function, a refined balance. It is in this absolute control of detail that its approach to\u00a0watchmaking<\/strong>becomes clear. Rolex continues to develop its language through progressive interventions, fully integrated within a system that is never called into question. Each change is calibrated, each solution is designed to endure. And perhaps this is the Brand\u2019s true signature: not to anticipate time, but to consistently set the standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
