This year at Baselworld, Rolex introduced an Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller in a yellow Rolesor version. Rolesor is a term coined by Rolex to designate the two-toned watches. The newcomer to the range features the bezel, crown and center links crafted in 18-carat yellow gold, while the case and bracelet outer links are made from Oystersteel. This is the first time ever that Rolex uses 18-carat gold for one of their Sea-Dweller watches.
The Sea-Dweller arrives in a 43-mm Oyster case topped by a unidirectional rotating bezel with a 60-minute graduated Cerachrom insert in black ceramic. The dial is also black with the name Sea-Dweller inscribed in yellow, a color that matches the noble hue of gold.
This underwater exploration tool is waterproof to 1,220 meters (4000 feet) and equipped with the helium escape valve, which is fitted into the side of the case. To ensure the perfect waterproofness, the case back is screwed down with a special tool, while the winding crown is fitted with the Triplock triple waterproofness system.
The black ceramic bezel is matched with the black dial, which is covered with a virtually scratchproof sapphire and is fitted with a Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock for easy reading of the date.
The new version of the Rolex Sea-Dweller is powered by the calibre 3235, which is a new-generation in-house movement. This self-winding mechanical caliber incorporates the highly efficient and reliable Chronergy escapement patented by Rolex. It also features an optimized Parachrom hairspring, which is 10 times more precise than a traditional hairspring in case of shocks. The blue Parachrom hairspring is equipped with a Rolex overcoil, ensuring its regularity in any position. The power reserve is about 70 hours. Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller is covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification redefined by Rolex in 2015.
The new Rolex Sea-Dweller is fitted with an Oyster bracelet with three-piece links. The bracelet is equipped with a Rolex-designed and patented Oysterlock folding safety clasp, which prevents accidental opening. It also features the Rolex Glidelock, which allows fine adjustment of the bracelet length by some 20 mm in increments of approximately 2 mm, without the use of tools.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller for 2019, reference 126603, is priced at $16,050. More information at rolex.com.

10 tips to spot a fake Rolex
An international expert on used Rolex watches, Avi Dayan, offers 10 tips for telling a real Rolex from a fake one. 10 tips that tell a real Rolex from a fake They have never manufactured a watch with a see-through case. If you see a glass-back case on a watch, move on. You're not looking at a Rolex. Rolex has never fabricated a case or a band with even the smallest amount of rubber. You know it's a fake if you feel rubber. Skeleton dials display the moving parts of a timepiece. They have never made a skeleton dial. Oyster Perpetual watch...
Introducing the first Rolex Tourbillon
True Rolex aficionados often wonder why Rolex doesn’t seem to make any tourbillon watches. Despite being a globally recognized status symbol, in terms of complications Rolex doesn’t compete with haute horlogerie brands such as Breguet or Vacheron Constantin. The brand focuses on creating reliable, precise watches that pretty much resemble their original models. It seems that Rolex builds watches based on its own heritage, and tourbillon movements are simply not something that Rolex ever pioneered or tried to incorporate. However, something t...
Rolex GMT Master II for BaselWorld 2018
For BaselWorld 2018, Rolex revisits its iconic GMT model and gives it two distinctive bezel designs: the “Pepsi” colorway – borrowed from the original GMT from 1950’s – and the 1970’s “Rootbeer” design. The legendary Pepsi design was first reintroduced a couple of days ago on a precious white gold model. This year, it makes a notable return on a more affordable stainless steel version, together with a couple of innovative features – the bezel with a graduated two-color Cerachrom insert and a Jubilee five-link bracelet. Two other new versions...
Rolex Cellini Moonphase in Everose Gold
At BaselWorld 2017, Rolex introduced the latest creations in the Oyster and Cellini collections. Some time ago, I wrote about the new Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with Oysterflex strap, and about the 50th anniversary edition of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller with a new, larger 43mm case and Rolex’s new caliber 3235. Today we’ll take a closer look at an entirely new model in the Cellini collection, the Cellini Moonphase. The Cellini Moonphase features an exclusive display of the lunar cycle. This 39mm-diameter watch makes its worldwide de...
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller 43mm with a Cyclops’s Eye
For BaselWorld 2017, Rolex introduces the latest generation of its legendary diving instrument, the Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller. This year, the watch that made its debut exactly 50 years ago, arrives in a slightly larger 43mm case and, for the first time ever, equipped with a Cyclops’s magnifying lens at 3 o’clock position. The new Sea-Dweller is also powered by the new perpetual calibre 3235, which is entirely designed and produced by Rolex. This self-winding mechanical movement, fitted with no less than 14 different patents, carries the S...
Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with Oysterflex strap
On the occasion of the BaselWorld 2017, Rolex unveils three new versions of its Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona. In addition to the 18-carat yellow gold and 18-carat white gold, the legendary model also returns in Everose Gold. This time, the luxurious, sporty model is held on the innovative rubber bracelet – the OysterFlex in elastomer reinforced with a metal blade! The Oysterflex bracelet is also fitted with an 18 ct yellow, white or Everose gold Oysterlock safety clasp – depending on the version of the watch. The Rolex Oyster Perpetua...
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King
The new Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King is a prominent reintroduction of an old classic, a watch that pays tribute to Rolex’s aviation roots. The new model evokes Rolex’s important role within the world of aviation, and especially its golden age during the 1930’s. This period of immense progress in aircraft performance and human capacity to conquer the skies, was also the period in which the Rolex Oyster accompanied a number of aviation pioneers on their accomplishments. Updated by the modern standards, but keeping up with the vintage aesthetic...
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona with a black Cerachrom bezel
A new version of Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in 904L steel is paired with a black Cerachrom bezel, developed and patented by Rolex, paying a tribute to the rich heritage of this cult favorite chronograph. The black bezel is bringing back the classic look of 1960’s Daytona, and especially the historical 1965 model that was fitted with a black Plexiglas bezel insert – the Rolex Reference 6240, which remains one of the rarest and most sought-after by collectors. The new Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is pretty much th...
Rolex introduces the new Oyster Perpetual Datejust 41 at BaselWorld 2016
This year, the cult favorite collector’s watch features an updated design, which reflects in a slightly larger case and the new Rolex calibre 3235. The new Datejust measures 41mm in diameter, and it comes in yellow or Everose Rolesor versions. In case you’re not familiar with the term, Rolesor is a name that designates a meeting of two different metals on a single watch. The name, which was patented by Rolex in 1933, refers to one of the most distinctive elements of Rolex’s watch design: the bezel, the winding crown, and the central part of the...
Rolex Deepsea D-Blue Dial
The new Rolex Deepsea D-Blue Dial is made in honor of James Cameroon and his historic dive to the deepest point on Earth - the bottom of the Mariana Trench - in the Deepsea Challenger submersible. Cameron’s submersible vessel was designed in collaboration with Rolex, and designed to reach the bottom of Challenger Deep, the deepest known point on Earth, situated in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, at around 11,000 meters. Yesterday, Rolex released its new Deepsea D-Blue Dial, a watch that is, in technical terms, based on the famous Rolex Sea-...
