The fair in Basel tempts with lots of new proposals. Some of them will certainly become very popular and will be produced for decades to come. Will this be the fate of the Rolex replica watches -promoted Oyster Perpetual SKY-DWELLER model?
Thanks to the use of solutions protected by 14 patents (of which 5 are completely new ideas), we are dealing with a quite original arrangement of indications. And so the local time can be read using the central hands (hour and minute), and the time in the second zone will be indicated by a triangle placed above the rotating, 24-hour disc inscribed in the dial. Sky-Dweller is also equipped with an annual calendar called SAROS (the name comes from the term in astronomy, meaning the period after which the Sun, Earth and Moon return to the position in relation to each other in which they have already been). The date can be read from the window at 3, which is crowned with a Rolex-specific magnifying glass at the top. The current month is indicated discreetly in the hole of the dial, between its edge and the hour index. The solution is very interesting in my opinion, because it does not require an additional chart or scale, which negatively affect the readability of the indications. The annual calendar in the described model requires adjustment once a year - at the turn of February and March.
Rotating in both directions, the bezel ring, called RING COMMAND, allows you to choose one of three parameters: date, local time or time in a second time zone. Selected settings can then be changed by turning the crown (which in the Sky-Dweller has only one position).
Inside the Sky-Dweller runs the automatic caliber 9001, a COSC chronometer-certified movement invented and manufactured by Rolex. Protected with the PARAFLEX anti-shock system, the mechanism consists of 380 components and is protected by 7 patents (4 new). At full wind, the Sky-Dweller has a 72-hour power reserve.
As the manufacturer boasts, the watch is designed for people who value elegance and useful functions. It will be available in a 42mm OYSTER gold case (white, yellow or replica rolex EVEROSE cast) on a polished satin-finished matching fabric bracelet or on a brown alligator leather strap. From the top, the whole thing will be crowned with a ribbed bezel, which is also a hallmark of some models produced by the Swiss brand. Sky-Dweller is waterproof to 100m.
