A yellow Rolesor version (combining Oystersteel and
18 ct yellow gold) of the Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller
brings 18 ct yellow gold to the Sea-Dweller range for the
first time.
On its black dial, the inscription “Sea-Dweller” is
in y
­ ellow, mirroring the 18 ct yellow gold. When the
­Sea-Dweller was updated in 2017, this lettering was in
red, in reference to the original model. The light reflec-
tions on the case sides and lugs highlight the profile of
the Sea-Dweller’s 43 mm Oyster case, which features a
unidirectional rotatable bezel with a 60-minute graduated
Cerachrom insert in black ceramic.
This new version is equipped with calibre 3235, at the
forefront of watchmaking technology.
Like all Rolex watches, the Sea-Dweller carries the
Superlative Chronometer certification, which ensures
­excellent performance on the wrist.
