wiss watchmaker Rolex has unveiled its new watches for 2020, highlighting the next generation of its Oyster Perpetual Submariner and Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date product lines. The new watches, used by divers underwater, epitomize Rolex’s historical links with the world of diving.
The new items present a fine balance between preserving the Rolex legacy and innovation, with refinements to the watches’ engineering, design and functionality.
Both timepieces now feature a redesigned, slightly larger 41-millimeter case, whose profile is highlighted by light reflected by the case sides and lugs, which are fitted on a remodeled bracelet.
The watches are equipped with movements at the forefront of watchmaking technology – the Submariner with caliber 3230, unveiled by the brand this year, as well as the Submariner Date with caliber 3235, offering both time and date functions and used in the Submariner range for the first time.
True to its artistic heritage, the new Submariner in Oystersteel has a black dial and rotatable bezel with a matching Cerachrom insert. A yellow Rolesor version combining Oystersteel and an 18-carat yellow gold of the Submariner Date also presents a royal blue dial with a rotatable bezel and a blue Cerachrom bezel insert.
To balance heritage and innovation, the new items seek to encapsulate the brand’s founding spirit, Perpetual, while at the same time reimagine the concept.
Today, the Perpetual concept means so much more than just a word on dial. It is a philosophy embodying a continuous quest for excellence, to explore and share human knowledge to build a better world.
