What is the novelty of the 2020 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller Watch Replica?

The novelty of the 2020 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller replica is the addition of Oysterflex, the first in the collection to include the brand's high-performance elastomer bracelet. Unlike the Submariner, the Sky-Dweller has not increased in size and there are no changes to the case or dial. The ambassador for the new Rolex Sky-Dweller 18k yellow gold watch replica 326238 with a glossy black dial, although there are several configuration possibilities, including the Everose / Chocolate version also seen here.

Case & Dial

The robust 42mm Oyster case is crafted from a solid piece of 18k yellow gold or Everose gold, and is waterproof to depths of 100 metres. The screw-down Twinlock winding crown and the hermetically screwed-down caseback ensure the case’s water-resistance. The unique rotatable Ring Command bezel is rendered in typical Rolex style with hallmark fluting. The dial is bright black with a sunray finish and features applied hour markers in gold to match the case, all treated with Chromalight that emits a long-lasting blue glow in the dark. The gold hour and minute hands are skeletonised at the base and also treated with Chromalight at their tips. In contrast to the glossy sunray finish of the black dial, the second time zone disc is slightly recessed and features a sandblasted finish.

The presentation of information on the dial is ingenious – the month of the year is indicated in a very economical fashion, via a switching colored disk that appears in a small window, adjacent to the dial hour marker corresponding to the month (the 12:00 marker, for instance, corresponds to December). Home time is shown on a rotating 24-hour ring, and the hour hand can be independently set, in one-hour increments, forwards or backwards.

Complexity Made Simple

The Rolex Sky-Dweller replica, one of the most complicated models developed by Rolex, was presented at Baselworld 2012. A watch designed for globetrotters, the Rolex Sky-Dweller is a functional travel companion with a second time zone and annual calendar, and a unique “Ring Command” bezel to set the functions. What sets the Sky-Dweller apart from so many GMT watches is its deceptively simple display made possible by an extremely complex movement protected by no less than 11 patents. Unlike the GMT-Master originally designed for Pan Am pilots, the Sky-Dweller is dressier and targeted to high-flying travellers.

The display of the replica Rolex Sky-Dweller is highly intuitive: local time is displayed with the 3 central hands; the second time zone or reference time is displayed on a rotating 24-hour disc in the centre of the dial and indicated by an inverted red triangle; the date is displayed at 3 o’clock under a classic Cyclops lens; the month is arranged in 12 small apertures on the periphery of the dial at the tip of the indices which change from to white to red accordingly. The annual calendar automatically differentiates between 30 and 31-day months, meaning that only one adjustment is required a year, on 1 March.

Oysterflex Bracelet

Although it is made from elastomer, the Oysterflex bracelet cannot be written off as a conventional black rubber strap. A hybrid between a metal bracelet and a rubber strap, the Oysterflex is made up of flexible metal blades in titanium and nickel which are over-moulded with high-performance black elastomer. This combination ensures the resilience of a metal bracelet with the flexibility and comfort of a rubber strap, especially thanks to the “flaps” on the back that hug the wrist. The Oysteflex bracelet has a folding Oysterclasp in yellow or rose gold and features Rolex’s proprietary Glidelock extension system with six notches of 2.5mm allowing the length of the bracelet to be adjusted up to 15mm without tools.

Calibre 9001 Movement

As eye-catching as the Rolex Sky-Dweller replica Ref. 326238 is, the watch’s aesthetics are complementary to its technical finesse. Intelligently designed from the inside-out, the watch is driven by the automatic Calibre 9001, a COSC-certified movement that engages the dual-time and annual calendar features with the case for intuitive ease-of-use. This is manifested by what’s known as the Ring Command bezel. A rotatable, fluted bezel that frames the dial, the Ring Command system lets the user adjust the date, local time or reference time simply by turning it either forwards or backwards.
