Rolex Sky-Dweller M336239-0002 42mm

THE OYSTERFLEX BRACELET

The Sky-Dweller’s new Oysterflex bracelet, developed and patented by Rolex, offers a sporty alternative to metal bracelets. The

bracelet attaches to the watch case and the Oysterclasp by a flexible titanium and nickel alloy metal blade. The blade is overmoulded

with high-performance black elastomer which is particularly resistant to environmental effects, very durable and perfectly inert for the

wearer of the watch. For enhanced comfort, the inside of the Oysterflex bracelet is equipped with a patented longitudinal cushion

system that stabilizes the watch on the wrist and fitted with an 18 ct white gold Oysterclasp. It also features the Rolex Glidelock

extension system, designed and patented by the brand. This inventive toothed mechanism, integrated beneath the clasp, allows fine

adjustment of the bracelet length by some 15 mm in increments of approximately 2.5 mm, without the use of tools.

18 CT WHITE GOLD

By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the unrivalled ability to cast the highest quality 18 ct gold alloys. According to

the proportion of silver, copper, platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 ct gold are obtained: yellow, pink or white. They

are made with only the purest metals and meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, before

the gold is formed and shaped with the same painstaking attention to quality. Rolex's commitment to excellence begins at the source.

BRIGHT BLACK DIAL

A fixed inverted red triangle on the dial points to the chosen reference time – the time at home or at the traveller’s usual

workplace– on the off-centre 24-hour disc. At a glance, this 24-hour display clearly distinguishes daytime hours from night

-time hours in the other time zone. The dials now feature rectangular index hour markers and longer hands, as well as a

Chromalight display with long-lasting luminescence, which enhances legibility. A deep red rectangle in one of the 12 windows

around the dial indicates the current month, a striking characteristic of the Saros annual calendar. This ingenious mechanism

simplifies life for the wearer of the watch, who no longer needs to think about adjusting the date at the end of a 30-day month.

The annual calendar displays the correct date through the year. Only one adjustment is needed – on 1 March (February having

only 28 or 29 days). The date is connected to local time and automatically changes according to the traveller’s local time zone.
