Rolex 9001 Movement

.Tech.
Rolex calibre 9001 is one of the most complex self-winding mechanical movements developed and manufactured by the watchmaker. This certified Swiss chronometer was designed for the Sky-Dweller model in 2012, featuring a dual time zone display and an annual calendar that tells the difference between months with 30 and 31 days.

The functions of the impressive watch are adjusted using the rotatable Ring Command Bezel. The movement is equipped with a selector wheel on its outside edge that works with the bezel to allow for these adjustments.

A Saros annual calendar that uses the positions of the earth, moon and sun is built into the movement using four additional gear wheels. This is the mechanism that allows the watch to differentiate between shorter and longer months, making it only necessary to set the date on March 1 to make up for the month of February having less than 30 days.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller

.Rolex Models.
Globalization has made traveling for business a must for many executives and professionals. As the name suggests, the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller is a Rolex for those who spend time in the sky. If you're a frequent flyer, keeping track of time zones on your watch can be frustrating.

This beautiful timepiece is designed to remedy that. With a turn of the bezel, you can set your watch to two different time zones without stopping the watch. This allows you to tell the time in your current time zone while keeping your watch set to the time zone you came from. It also adjusts the date between months with 30 and 31 days, meaning you only have to adjust the date once a year on March 1.

Shown here in 18 karat white gold with a black leather strap and ivory dial, this wristwatch is built to go anywhere and go with anything. Golfer Adam Scott is featured in Rolex's ads for this model.

Styled with a classic blue sport coat and black slacks, the Sky-Dweller completes the look with an effortless elegance that is difficult to achieve with any other accessory. Though the 24 hour ring on the dial may not be aesthetically pleasing to everyone, it certainly gives the watch a distinctive look among other luxury wristwatches.

The watch features Rolex's 9001 movement, a self-winding movement developed by Rolex in 2012. This certified Swiss chronometer passed Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) testing.

The suggested retail price for the Sky-Dweller configuration above (reference # 326139) is 37,700 Swiss Francs, or approximately $39,544 US according to the current exchange rate.
