Rolex lights up entry level Oyster Perpetual family with larger size and bold colour dials

Rolex has made silver or black 41mm models and a family of gender-neutral 36mm watches with vivid dials.

Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual is the lowest cost entry point to the Swiss watchmaker’s seductive world and often bypassed in the rush to score a first Submariner.

This year Rolex has given the collection a starring role with a larger sized 41mm style featuring either a black or silvery-white sunray dial. A family of gender-neutral 36mm models come in a range of bold dial colours.

The watches go on sale this month for between £4,050 and £4,700.

Both the 41mm and 36mm collections use the new chronometer-rated calibre 3230 that is also adopted by the steel Submariner launching today, giving you all of the accuracy and dependability of a Sub at a significant saving. The automatic movement has a power reserve of around 70 hours.

The only compromise, from a technical standpoint, is that the Submariner is rated waterproof to 300 metres while the Oyster Perpetual is rated to 100 metres.

Today’s Oyster Perpetual 41 has a silver, sunray-finish dial with hands and hour markers in 18ct yellow gold. A bright black sunray-finish dial version has hands and hour markers in 18ct white gold.

Smaller Oyster Perpetual 36 models come with lacquer dials in a choice of candy pink, turquoise blue, yellow, coral red and green.

All watches come on Oystersteel Oyster bracelets with their folding Oysterclasp and the Easylink comfort extension link.
