Rolex 326935-0006 description
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller was introduced in 2012 and is one of Rolex' most complicated watches to date. It features an annual calendar and a second time zone function. The former has a regular date display. while the month is displayed through apertures by the hour markers. The latter is indicated through an off-centre 24h disc at 6 o'clock. The well-known fluted bezel functions as sort of a gear box with three positions. enabling the user to set the date. local time and second time zone through one single position on the crown.

Chocolate 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.
A deep red rectangle in one of the 12 windows around the dial indicated the current month. a striking characteristic of the Saros annual calendar. This ingenious mechanism simplifies life for the wearer of the watch. who no longer needs to think about adjusting the date at the end of a 30-day month. The annual calendar displays the correct date through the year. Only one adjustment is needed – on 1 March (February having only 28 or 29 days). The date is connected to local time and automatically changes according to the traveller's local time zone.
The Fluted Bezel
The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally. the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back. which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness. using specific Rolex tools. Over time. the fluting became an aesthetic element. a genuine Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. always in gold.
