A celebration of the birth of the Oyster, and a tribute to the very essence of time, the Oyster Perpetual 41 in a yellow Rolesor version consecrates 100 years of watchmaking achievements and perpetuates the echo of its origins. Various details evoke the Oyster’s centenary: the winding crown features the number 100, while the slate dial bears the inscription ‘100 years’ in place of the usual ‘Swiss Made’ marking at 6 o’clock.

Offered respectively in 18 ct yellow gold and 18 ct Everose gold, the Oyster Perpetual 28 and Oyster Perpetual 34 showcase a delicate and restrained expression of these precious alloys.

Sleek, modernized and with enhanced legibility, the regatta chronograph by Rolex makes a grand comeback with the new-generation Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master II. The countdown function of this nautical watch – featuring a mechanical memory and on-the-fly synchronization – has been entirely redesigned to more effectively assist sailors during the critical start sequence of races.

In 2026, Rolex reaffirms its commitment to wearers of the brand’s watches by strengthening its Superlative Chronometer certification. Three additional new testing criteria – resistance to magnetism, reliability and sustainability – are now implemented during the design and manufacturing stages of each timepiece. They supplement the criteria established when the certification was redefined in 2015, governing precision, waterproofness, self-winding and power reserve, which are validated during tests conducted on the finished watch.
