Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 Silver Sunray dial

The Oyster Perpetual range was first introduced in 2020 and aims to offer a watch that, unlike other representatives of the "Oyster" line, is neither distinctly sporty (like a Submariner), nor is it a dress watch (like the Cellini), but is rather "casual", as it allows you to wear it with both jeans and a t-shirt, as well as with a formal shirt and trousers. The other special feature is that it is here that Rolex launches fresh colors – with the idea being more than transparent, namely to attract the attention of young people and thus expand the consumer base. Indeed, the detail of this watch (as with all modern Rolexes we have had the opportunity to examine) is impressive. Starting with the silver dial with a Sunburst effect, which truly shows from a distance what brand of watch is on your wrist. The markers and hands are "suspended" in the air in a certain weightlessness, they are elegant and made of yellow gold. The markers at "3", "6", and "9" are double, and all markers and hands are filled with a luminescent compound - only reinforcing the overall elegance of the model and enhancing its overall presentation. Moving on to the incredible sapphire – in this case, the brand's highest grade of sapphire is used, which has allowed the overall height of the watch to be reduced compared to its predecessors. Of course, separate attention must be paid to the case and bezel – an excellent combination of brushed highest-grade 904 L steel with faceted polished edges and details in places (as you know, Rolex pays special attention to the steel used and for this purpose has its own foundries for its production!). And, of course, the bracelet, the band, the chain, or whatever you call it – as can be expected from a Rolex, it is truly good, in this case, it is a classic Oyster bracelet – with micro-adjustment, and its full size includes 5 links towards "6 o'clock" on the case (of which 2 are removable) and 7 links towards "12 o'clock" (of which 4 are removable), the clasp is an Oysterclasp with a deeply engraved logo on it. And, of course, the new movement deserves special attention – here the new caliber 3230 is used, which has an increased power reserve of 70 h, a seriously improved automatic winding system in which the rotor is now on a bearing, and its efficiency is increased by 15%. As for the lubrication, the reversing wheels, as one of the problematic areas from the point of view of friction, are Teflon-coated! The new 3230 has 14 built-in patents and more than 90% new components, and it is also twice as accurate as the requirements for an official COSC chronometer.
