Who is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual for?

All Rolexes are great for those who value dependable performance and timeless elegance.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is no different.

This is a classic watch that appeals to both men and women. Available in sizes from 28mm to 41mm, this versatile watch can suit various wrist sizes and style preferences.

The Oyster Perpetual is part of the classic collection from Rolex, the other being the professional collection (for example, GMT-Master II or Yachtmaster).

It’s an entry-level model and an excellent option for first-time luxury watch buyers or for those looking for a flexible everyday-wear timepiece.

Features

Oyster Case

The oyster case supports waterproofing up to 100 meters (330 feet).

It can suit water activities like swimming or snorkeling – but it is not designed as a professional diving watch. For those activities, you should try the Submariner or Sea-Dweller.

Oystersteel Construction

The watch is made from a highly corrosion-resistant oystersteel. It will never lose its beauty despite harsh environments.

Generally, it’s 316L stainless steel that’s used in watchmaking while Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, a far more corrosion-resistant option.

Perpetual Self-Winding Movement

This self-winding mechanism is called ‘automatic movement,’ and it removes the need for manual winding.

This is what makes such timekeeping so reliable and convenient.

It's one of the features that has made Rolex so popular for everyday wear.

Chromalight Display

The watch's hands and hour markers are treated with a durable luminescent coating. This improves legibility in dark conditions.

It emits a blue light in dark conditions as blue is considered to be easier on human eyes when reading in low light conditions.

Oyster Bracelet

The watch has a comfortable and sturdy oyster bracelet with features like Oysterclasp and Easylink comfort extension link – allowing easy adjustments.

It was introduced in the late 1930s and has been known since then for its longevity and continued popularity.

Dial Colors

You can find a range of colors – classic to vibrant – that can complement different tastes but some colors may be available only in specific sizes.

Recently in 2023, the celebration dial was introduced, which featured differently sized bubbles in candy pink, yellow, coral red and green on a turquoise blue background.

Maintenance

  • Clean regularly with a microfibre cloth
  • Rinse the watch with fresh water after each saltwater exposure
  • Have it serviced by a professional every 5 to 10 years as recommended by Rolex

Rolex Oyster Perpetual combines a classic design with modern technology bringing forth timeless choices for watch enthusiasts. These watches are highly reliable, versatile, and very easy to maintain.
