New watches 2026 Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41
The echo of origins
Yellow Rolesor
An alliance of alloys
A signature feature of the brand since the early 1930s, Rolesor combines gold and steel in a meeting of sophistication and strength. The concept is simple: certain elements of the case and bracelet are made of yellow, white or Everose gold, while others are made of Oystersteel.
The Oyster Perpetual 41 in a yellow Rolesor version reinterprets this aesthetic. It pairs a bezel and winding crown in yellow gold with a bracelet made entirely of Oystersteel, whereas typically on Rolex watches in yellow Rolesor versions the centre links of the bracelet are in yellow gold.
Slate dial
A celebration of 100 years of the Oyster
On the slate dial – a new colour for the Oyster Perpetual range – the inscription ‘100 years’ appears at 6 o’clock in place of the usual ‘Swiss Made’ marking. Moreover, each five-minute interval on the minute track is denoted by a green square, and the name ‘Rolex’ is pad printed in the same green, the brand’s emblematic colour.
Oyster case
A symbol of waterproofness
The Oyster case of the Oyster Perpetual 41 is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet). The middle case is crafted from a solid block of Oystersteel and crowned with a domed bezel. Its case back, edged with fine fluting, is hermetically screwed down with a special tool employed by approved watchmakers. The Twinlock winding crown, fitted with a double waterproofness system, screws down securely against the case. The crystal is made of virtually scratchproof sapphire and benefits from an anti-reflective coating. The winding crown features the number 100 in relief.
Superlative Chronometer certification
The Oyster Perpetual 41 is covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification. This exclusive designation is issued to each watch leaving the Rolex workshops, attesting to its excellent performance on the wrist. This in-house certification is strictly controlled by internationally recognized, independent Swiss entities.
In 2026, the Superlative Chronometer certification has been strengthened with the addition of three new testing criteria: resistance to magnetism, reliability and sustainability. These criteria are implemented throughout the design and manufacturing stages of each timepiece – hundreds of checks and validations directly related to the watch’s performance are carried out during these phases. They supplement the criteria established when the certification was redefined in 2015 governing precision, waterproofness, self-winding and power reserve. That year, Rolex set up an exclusive testing protocol for its finished watches, conducted inside the manufacture on fully automated equipment. The precision requirements are particularly stringent: measured after casing the movement, the watch’s accuracy must be between –2 and +2 seconds per day. The rate deviation tolerated by the brand for the precision of a finished watch is significantly smaller than that accepted for official certification of the movement alone.
The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.
