The new 39mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual joins the 26, 31 and 34mm versions that were announced last year. Being the same size as the Rolex Explorer, the 39mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual uses the same movement, Rolex's calibre 3132. It's a simple but robust automatic movement offering three hands, no date, and COSC certification. The Oyster Perpetual is a faithful but modern take on the Rolex Oyster model that Rolex launched in 1926. The Oyster was, quite famously, the first waterproof watch in the world. That lineage can be seen in the Oyster Perpetual's straightforward and practical design. Legibility is strong and the dial design offers nothing more than is necessary to display the time. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual (reference 114300) can be had in your choice of three dial colors - dark rhodium, red grape, or blue.
