WHITE DIAL
A fixed inverted red triangle on the dial points to the chosen reference
time – the time at home or at the traveller’s usual workplace – on
the off-centre 24-hour disc. At a glance, this 24-hour display clearly
distinguishes daytime hours from night-time hours in the other time
zone. The dials now feature rectangular index hour markers and
longer hands, as well as a Chromalight display with long-lasting
luminescence, which enhances legibility.
The Sky-Dweller is fitted on a solid-link Oyster bracelet in Oystersteel,
in the case of the white Rolesor version, or, for the yellow Rolesor
version, an Oyster bracelet combining Oystersteel and 18 ct yellow
gold. The Oyster bracelet benefits from the new concealed attachment
system beneath the bezel which ensures seamless visual continuity
between the bracelet and case. It is equipped with a folding

THE OYSTER
BRACELET
Oysterclasp and also features the ingenious Rolex-patented
Easylink rapid extension system that allows the wearer to
easily increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, for
additional comfort in any circumstance.
MODEL FEATURES
9001 MOVEMENT
The Sky-Dweller is equipped with calibre 9001, a self-winding
mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by
Rolex. Protected by seven patents, it is one of the most complex
calibres ever developed by the brand. Its architecture, manufacturing
quality and innovative features make it singularly precise and reliable.
The two time zones are displayed simultaneously. Local time is
indicated by the conventional centre hour, minute and seconds hands.
It can be set quickly and easily by means of a mechanism that allows
the hour hand to be adjusted independently in one-hour increments
both forwards and backwards. Neither the minute and seconds nor
the reference time in the second time zone are affected. And, since
the watch is not stopped, accuracy is preserved. Reference time in
the traveller’s usual place of residence or work is read on a rotating
off-centre disc. A fixed inverted red triangle points to the wearer’s
chosen reference time. The disc’s 24-hour display allows travellers to
clearly distinguish daytime hours from night-time hours in the distant
time zone (for example, 10 p.m. versus 10 a.m.). The date change is
linked to local time and occurs within a few milliseconds at midnight.
So the date displayed in the aperture is always the current date in the
wearer’s local time zone.
