The Datejust 41 is the largest of the collection and Rolex has been rolling out different configurations in this size over the past couple years. Last year they introduced yellow and Everose Rolesor versions and at Baselworld 2017 they introduced the white Rolesor version shown above. It features a blue dial with luminescent baton-style hour markers.



The new Calibre 3235 powers the DJ41, with technology covered by 14 patents. It has a power reserve of 70 hours and features Rolex innovations like the Chronergy escapement. Its oscillator provides a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour. With 31 rubies, four Microstella nuts and a high performance Paraflex shock absorber, it offers a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day. 

The white Rolesor configuration with blue sunray dial on Oyster bracelet (Reference # 126334) is priced at $8,900 USD. It is also available in a variety of dial and material combinations, with an Oyster or Jubilee bracelet. Visit rolex.com to browse their entire collection of Datejust 41 models.

Stainless Steel Rolex Sky-Dweller Configurations Introduced at Baselworld 2017

The Sky-Dweller model was introduced by Rolex at Baselworld 2012, available only in precious metal configurations on leather straps or gold Oyster bracelets. At this year's event, Rolex introduced a new batch of Sky-Dweller configurations that includes two-tone stainless steel versions. The 2017 models also feature varied dial colors with baton-style hour markers and improved luminescence.

The white gold and stainless steel configuration (Reference # 326934) is the most affordable Sky-Dweller model, priced at 13,700 Swiss francs. The combination of white Rolesor and blue dials was a trend in the Rolex stand at Baselworld 2017, with Datejust models also featuring the color combo. The off-center disc of the new versions are colored the same as the dial, giving it a more uniform look. The dial is also available in white or black.

The yellow Rolesor Sky-Dweller (Reference # 326933) features a champagne-colored dial, also available in white or black, with a suggested retail price of 16,300 Swiss francs. This configuration combines the classical elements of the Rolex Datejust with functionality like the Saros calendar and 24-hour reference time. It is also still available in white, yellow and Everose gold on either an Oyster bracelet or leather watch strap.

2017 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona on Oysterflex Bracelet

At Baselworld 2017, Rolex introduced a new Cosmograph Daytona (Reference #116518LN) equipped with their Oysterflex elastomer bracelet. Another material innovation that makes this configuration unique is the black Cerachrom bezel, featured on the 116500LN stainless steel Daytona introduced at the trade show last year. The 2017 Oysterflex Daytonas are available in yellow, white or Everose gold.

The Oysterflex elastomer bracelet was originally introduced on the Everose gold Yacht-Master (Reference # 116655) in 2015. It combines a super-elastic metal blade with high-performance black elastomer to provide both flexibility and reliability. On the 2017 Daytona it is fitted with either a yellow, white or Everose gold Oysterlock safety clasp to prevent accidental opening. The clasp also features an Easylink rapid extension system that allows the wearer to increase the length of the bracelet by 5mm.

The Oyster case of the Daytona measures 40mm in diameter and is sealed by a Triplock winding crown. It is waterproof up to 100 meters and has a power reserve of 72 hours. The champagne-colored dial has a sunray finish with black sub-dials displaying the chronograph functions. A 4130 self-winding mechanical movement powers the functions with a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing.

Rolex Cellini Moonphase Introduced at Baselworld 2017

Perhaps the most interesting model introduction from Rolex at Baselworld 2017, the Cellini Moonphase harkens back to the mid-twentieth century. Its unique date display is rivaled only by the material used for the full moon appliqué on its moonphase indicator at 6 o'clock. While the new watches from the Oyster collection adhere to the watchmaker's contemporary sporty aesthetic, this Cellini model is in a class of its own.

The Everose gold case (case ref. 50535) of this Cellini model measures 39mm in diameter with a double bezel that is both fluted and domed. Another characteristic that sets it apart from Oyster models is its flared screw-down winding crown. The white enameled dial features Everose gold hands and hour markers, with the moonphase display in blue lacquer. The date is displayed around the circumference of the dial with a blue date hand to indicate the day of the month.

A 3195 self-winding mechanical movement powers this elegant timepiece with a reserve of approximately 48 hours. It is equipped with a brown alligator leather strap and 18 ct Everose gold Crownclasp. The most interesting material innovation on this model, however, is the rhodium-plated meteorite used for the full moon on the moonphase display.

Impossible to reproduce on earth, the Widmanstätten pattern of the meteorites used create a unique etching on each timepiece. The iron meteorites used are millions of years old and also go by the name siderite. The photo above shows a piece of siderite in its natural state before becoming part of the moonphase display.
