AN EFFERVESCENCE OF EXCELLENCE

> Alive with colour, vitality and positivity, the new dials of the Oyster
> Perpetual in 31 mm, 36 mm and 41 mm are dotted with many-coloured bubbles that
> joyfully reunite the five hues introduced to the range in 2020.

Rolex brings in a new dial decoration for its Oyster Perpetual range, recognized
for its pure lines and universal elegance.

Named ‘Celebration’, this brand-new motif is available for the Oyster Perpetual
31, Oyster Perpetual 36 and Oyster Perpetual 41. Composed of differently sized
bubbles fringed with black, it encapsulates the vivid colours of the lacquered
dials introduced in 2020: candy pink, turquoise blue, yellow, coral red and
green.

The Oyster Perpetual 31 is equipped with calibre 2232, while the Oyster
Perpetual 36 and Oyster Perpetual 41 are both fitted with calibre 3230. These
two movements at the forefront of watchmaking technology provide essential
functions – hours, minutes and seconds.


Like all Rolex watches, these Oyster Perpetual models carry the Superlative
Chronometer certification, which ensures excellent performance on the wrist.




THE ESSENCE OF THE OYSTER
Watches in the Oyster Perpetual range are direct descendants of the original
Oyster, the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, on which Rolex has built its
reputation since 1926. These timepieces benefit from all the fundamental
features of the Oyster Perpetual collection – chronometric precision, a
waterproof Oyster case, and self-winding of the movement via a Perpetual rotor.
Displaying hours, minutes and seconds, made exclusively of Oystersteel and
featuring a sophisticated finish, they represent chronometer wristwatches in
their purest form. Timeless in their essence, they are continually reinterpreted
and have gradually been endowed with the brand’s successive technical
innovations. The varied and constantly evolving colours and design of the dials
ensure the Oyster Perpetual never loses its fresh and contemporary appeal.

THE OYSTER CASE, SYMBOL OF WATERPROOFNESS
A paragon of robustness and elegance, the Oyster case of the new versions of the
Oyster Perpetual 31, Oyster Perpetual 36 and Oyster Perpetual 41, respectively
31 mm, 36 mm and 41 mm in diameter, is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100
metres (330 feet). The middle case is crafted from a solid block of Oystersteel.
Its case back, edged with fine fluting, is hermetically screwed down with a
special tool that allows only Rolex watchmakers to access the movement. The
Twinlock winding crown, fitted with a double waterproofness system, screws down
securely against the case. The crystal is made of virtually scratchproof
sapphire and benefits from an anti-reflective coating. The waterproof Oyster
case provides optimal protection for the movement it houses.

PERPETUAL CALIBRES 2232 AND 3230
The Oyster Perpetual 31 is equipped with calibre 2232; the Oyster Perpetual 36
and the Oyster Perpetual 41 with calibre 3230. These movements, entirely
developed and manufactured by Rolex, were both unveiled in 2020 and introduced
to these models the same year. A distillation of technology, these self-winding
mechanical movements deliver outstanding performance in terms of precision,
power reserve, convenience and reliability.

Calibre 2232 is fitted with a Syloxi hairspring that is produced by Rolex and
patented. This silicon hairspring has a patented geometry that ensures the
calibre’s regularity in any position. The movement also contains a paramagnetic
nickel-phosphorus escape wheel.

Calibre 3230 incorporates the patented Chronergy escapement, which combines high
energy efficiency with great dependability. Made of nickel-phosphorus, this
escapement is resistant to strong magnetic fields. The movement is fitted with a
blue Parachrom hairspring, manufactured by the brand in a paramagnetic alloy.
The hairspring offers great stability in the face of temperature variations as
well as high resistance to shocks. It is equipped with a Rolex overcoil,
ensuring the calibre’s regularity in any position. The oscillating weight is now
fitted with an optimized ball bearing.

The oscillator of these two calibres is mounted on the Rolex-designed, patented
high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, increasing the movements’ shock
resistance.

Calibres 2232 and 3230 are equipped with a self-winding system via a Perpetual
rotor. The first offers a power reserve of approximately 55 hours. For the
second, the power reserve extends to approximately 70 hours, thanks to its
barrel architecture and the escapement’s superior efficiency.


OYSTER BRACELET
The new variants in the Oyster Perpetual range are fitted on an Oyster bracelet.
Developed at the end of the 1930s, this three-piece link bracelet remains the
most universal in the Oyster Perpetual collection and is known for its
robustness.

Made of Oystersteel, the Oyster bracelet of these new variants is equipped with
a folding Oysterclasp and the Easylink comfort extension link – developed by
Rolex – that allows the wearer to easily adjust the bracelet length by
approximately 5 mm.



SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER CERTIFICATION 
Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual 31, Oyster Perpetual 36 and Oyster
Perpetual 41 are covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification redefined
by Rolex in 2015. This designation testifies that every watch leaving the
brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by
Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria, following the
official certification of the movements by the Swiss Official Chronometer
Testing Institute (COSC). The in-house certification tests apply to the fully
assembled watch, after casing the movement, guaranteeing superlative performance
on the wrist in terms of precision, power reserve, waterproofness and
self-winding. The precision of a Rolex Superlative Chronometer is of the order
of −2 /+2 seconds per day – the rate deviation tolerated by the brand for a
finished watch is significantly smaller than that accepted by COSC for official
certification of the movement alone.

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.
