Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm


The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm timepiece offers the perfect blend of craftsmanship, technology, and durability. At its heart lies the Perpetual rotor, a revolutionary mechanism introduced by Rolex in 1931. This ingenious self-winding system features a half-moon-shaped oscillating weight that swings bidirectionally with the wearer’s movements, endlessly winding the mainspring. This perpetual energy exchange enhances the timekeeping accuracy, showcasing Rolex’s commitment to precision.

Crafted from Oystersteel, a proprietary 904L stainless steel alloy, this watch exhibits exceptional resistance to corrosion, making it the ideal timepiece for the most demanding environments. The Oyster case, made from the same resilient Oystersteel, features a domed bezel and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal to protect the stunning dial, available in colors ranging from rich emerald green to sleek silver.

An iconic feature of the Oyster Perpetual 36mm is its Oyster bracelet, a harmonious balance between aesthetics and functionality. The bracelet design has broad, flat three-piece links that offer optimal durability and comfort. The bracelet is secured with an Oysterclasp and is compatible with the Rolex brand’s innovative Easylink comfort extension link, allowing the wearer to adjust the length by approximately 5mm for a custom fit.

The dial of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm showcases hours, minutes, and seconds as sleek indices for easy readability. The Chromalight luminescent material, applied to the hands and markers, emits a long-lasting blue glow, ensuring legibility in any lighting condition. 

The powerhouse of the Oyster Perpetual 36mm is the caliber 3230 movement, a pinnacle of Rolex’s watchmaking expertise. Introduced in 2020, this entirely in-house developed movement boasts numerous patented innovations, including the Paramagnetic Parachrom Blue hairspring, resulting in exceptional precision and unparalleled resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. The barrel architecture and efficient escapement extend the power reserve to approximately 70 hours.
