THE ROLEX 1908

THE NEW FACE OF EXCELLENCE

The 1908 watch from Rolex represents the brand's ongoing commitment to excellence, combining classic elements with a modern twist. It draws inspiration from one of the first Rolex watches with a Perpetual rotor, and is the first model in the Perpetual collection. The watch is named after the year in which the 'Rolex' trademark was officially registered in Switzerland.

The hands, hour markers, and domed bezel with fine fluting are all characteristic of the brands watchmaking heritage, creating an interplay of light and shadow that gives the watch a refined appearance. The 1908 comes in 18ct yellow or white gold with a white or black dial and a slim case. The transparent case back provides fresh visual angles, displaying an exclusively adorned mechanism. Its movement, the calibre 7140 with small seconds, is Superlative Chronometer certified, demonstrating their expertise in both technology and design. Apart from the advancements that resulted in submitting five patent applications, this watch's movement is custom-made and showcases the Rolex Côtes de Genève ornamentation, as well as an 18-carat yellow gold oscillating weight with a cut-out design. The watch is mounted on an alligator leather strap with a green lining and is equipped with the new Dualclasp.

The 1908 is a classic timepiece that blends traditional spirit with modernity, showcasing exceptional watchmaking skills and opening a new path in the brand's history.

GMT-MASTER II

HIGHLIGHTING OUR CONNECTION TO THE WORLD

The GMT-Master II has been updated with two new models this year - one made of yellow Rolesor and the other of 18ct yellow gold - both of which feature a Cerachrom bezel insert in a brand-new combination of grey and black ceramic. The materials and finishes have been carefully selected and crafted to showcase the watch's beauty.

The contrast between the gleaming Jubilee bracelet and the dark, muted tones of the two-colour bezel creates a harmonious and elegant look that evokes the sun's path and the transition from day to night. The watch is further enhanced by a black lacquer dial and an 18ct yellow gold 24-hour hand, which indicates the passage of time in a second timezone and highlights our connection to the world.

EXPLORER 40

ADVENTURE ON A GRAND SCALE

The Explorer collection has been expanded with the introduction of a new model measuring 40mm. The watch boasts improved legibility and retains the characteristics that have made the Explorer a reference among Rolex Professional watches. The new Explorer 40 is made from Oystersteel, a specific alloy used by the brand due to its simplicity, durability and resistance to corrosion.

The satin finish of the middle case and bracelet, combined with the polished flanks, creates a subtle interplay of light and shadow. The watch comes with an Oyster bracelet and a secure Oysterlock clasp, which includes an Easylink comfort extension link.
