Oyster essence between timeless shape and fancy colors. The range of Rolex Oyster Perpetuals, direct descendants of the “number one” Oyster, the first waterproof wristwatch in the world that contributed to making the Crown brand famous everywhere since 1926, is enriched with new variations. The Oyster Perpetual 36 now sports a lacquered dial available in a palette of bright colors: yellow, baby pink, coral red, light turquoise and green. The colors bring to mind some Day-Date models which, in the catalog in the 70s with the wording “lacquered Stella”, offered dials in unusual colors at the time, such as orange, blue, yellow, peach, pink , ox blood red, coral red, salmon and purple. The name Stella seems to come from the Genevan company Stella S.A. which specialized in lacquer paints. Beyond the fashion that has seen many brands chase each other in recent months in presenting a succession of green dials (a green hope?), I like to think that fake rolex, with these watches with a luminous face and, for some, almost “breaking” , you would like to suggest that we try to “find optimism and color” in a year, 2020, still veiled by many uncertainties and greyness. Of course, wearing a little color on your wrist does not change things but, and of this I am sure, it could help to tear us away a smile, albeit veiled, and a minimum of momentary lightness.

The new replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 sports an Oyster case in Oystersteel with a domed bezel. The passing of time pulsates to the rhythm of the in-house caliber 3230, a bidirectional self-winding mechanical movement with a Perpetual rotor presented this year (paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, Superlative Chronometer certification with an accuracy of -2 / + 2 sec./day, stop seconds, power reserve of about 70 hours). The dial, protected by scratch-resistant and anti-reflective sapphire crystal on the inside, features hands and indexes filled with Chromalight, a long-lasting luminescent substance that emits a blue light in the dark. The Oyster Perpetual 36, water resistant to 100 meters, has a screwed caseback and a screw-down crown with Twinlock double waterproofing system. The Oyster bracelet that secures it to the wrist is in Oystersteel and is closed with an Oysterclasp with folding clasp and Easylink 5 mm quick extension link. Which color variant would I opt for? For a color lover like me it would not be easy to choose … The ideal would be to have them all so you can alternate them according to the mood and outfit of the day :).
