Rolex is introducing the latest creations in its Oyster and Cellini Collections

This year’s flagship models include a new generation of the professional divers’ model, the Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller, updated for its 50th anniversary with a new, larger 43 mm case and Rolex‘s new calibre 3235 movement. The new Yacht-Master II, the unique regatta chronograph, features a new dial and new hands for increased legibility. New versions of the Cosmograph Daytona in 18 ct yellow, white or Everose gold have adopted the innovative Oysterflex bracelet in elastomer and a monobloc Cerachrom bezel in black ceramic. The Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller, the classic watch for world travellers, is introduced in yellow Rolesor and white Rolesor versions (combining 904L steel and 18 ct yellow or white gold) with new dials. The men’s and women’s classic Oyster Perpetual Datejust 41 and Lady-Datejust 28, updated in 2015 and 2016, are offered this year in 904L steel or in white Rolesor versions (904L steel with an 18 ct white gold bezel), equipped with new-generation mechanical movements.
Rolex’s expertise in gem-setting is displayed this year on an Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 40. In 18ct Everose gold on a black Oysterflex bracelet, this version features a bezel adorned with gems of many hues. In the Cellini collection, Rolex is introducing an entirely new model, the Cellini Moonphase, with a distinctive and exclusive display of the phases of the moon. Like all Rolex timepieces, the new watches presented in 2017 are covered by Rolex’s own Superlative Chronometer certification – symbolized by the green seal – guaranteeing that they satisfy performance criteria which exceed watchmaking norms and standards in terms of precision, power reserve, waterproofness and self-winding. The certification is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.
