About this subject

The Rolex Sky-Dweller was introduced in 2012 as the most complex model from the Swiss brand. Its 18k yellow gold case houses the automatic caliber 9001, a manufacture movement with an annual calendar function that automatically adjusts the day of the month for 30- or 31-day months, requiring only one correction on March 1st. It also features a second time zone with day/night indication via a 24-hour disc on the dial. The design is distinguished by the rotating Ring Command bezel, which allows selection of functions such as local date or time zone adjustment without complications. The dial displays an off-center date window at 3 o'clock with a Cyclops lens for magnification. The Oyster bracelet, typical of Rolex, is integrated into the case and has an Oysterlock safety clasp. Available in several dial colors, including the champagne sunburst that harmonizes beautifully with yellow gold. The Sky-Dweller is a refined travel tool, recognized for its legibility and COSC-certified chronometric precision.
