The Oyster Perpetual in Rolex History June 17, 2010

If you’re looking for a classic Rolex design that exemplifies the brand and its groundbreaking history, the Oyster Perpetual would be a good choice for you. This watch shares its name with a whole collection of timepieces, which taken together are the foundation around which the company is built. Rolex’s biggest seller worldwide is the DateJust, which is one of the timepieces in the collection. That particular watch has a great many different models, materials and colors, which means pretty much anyone can find a DateJust that fits their style. But even more classic than the DateJust is the Oyster Perpetual.

This watch’s name comes from terms that were used to describe the innovative technologies of Rolex’s early years, which went on to form a basis for all of watchmaking. The “oyster” refers to the hermetic sealing of the movement against external influences such as dust and water, while “perpetual” comes from the self-winding mechanism called the Perpetual rotor. The name suggests longevity, which Rolex’s timepieces have long been associated with. Currently in production for the Oyster Perpetual are ladies versions, versions featuring the date (called the Oyster Perpetual Date), and the men’s version. Men’s Oyster Perpetuals are mid-sized at 31 mm and comes in a tasteful combination of steel and white gold. The numerals 3, 6, and 9 stand out on the dial face with their larger print, and the 12 at the top is replaced with a Rolex crown. To own one of these timepieces yourself, your most affordable option is no doubt a high quality fake Rolex Oyster watch. These cost a couple hundred dollars or less, and come with sapphire crystal glass to protect against scratches, and they also include reference numbers and the logo. You can now purchase a Rolex comfortably with a top notch fake Rolex Oyster watch.
