watchmaking technology
Many of the dial styles in the Oyster collection feature sunray effects that reflect an elegant sheen. This effect requires excellent brushing techniques to create engravings that expand from the center of the dial outwards.
The light is dispersed along the engraving, creating a subtle and unique effect, showing different luster with the movement of the wrist. After completing the solar light effect process, the dial will be colored by physical vapor deposition or electroplating technology, and finally decorated with varnish.
Oystersteel
High corrosion resistance
Rolex uses Oystersteel forged steel watch cases. The Oyster steel developed by the brand belongs to the 904L steel category. This alloy is widely used in high-tech, aviation and chemical industries, so it must have high corrosion resistance.
Oystersteel is very durable and shines brilliantly after being polished. Even in extreme environments, its beauty remains undiminished.
Oyster strap
Combining form and function
The Oyster strap is the embodiment of ingenious shape, function, aesthetics and technology, exquisite and charming.
Introduced in the late 1930s, this metal strap is composed of three wide, flat links and is extremely strong. It has always been the most widely used strap in the Oyster series. The Oyster strap of the Oyster Perpetual watch is equipped with an Oyster buckle.
