Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36
Letters of nobility

Rolex unveils a new version of the Oyster Perpetual 36 in Oystersteel with a dial decorated with a highly graphic and colourful Jubilee motif, displaying the letters of the Rolex name.

This motif, which draws on the brand’s aesthetic heritage, is the result of a veritable technical achievement. Through the unique radiance of its face, the new Oyster Perpetual 36 celebrates the inventiveness of the brand and its dial-making artistry.

Dial
A graphical and colourful motif

In the subtlest yet most modern way, the dial of the Oyster Perpetual 36 revisits the Jubilee motif introduced at the end of the 1970s, which has since become iconic. It displays the letters of the Rolex name in a contrasting interplay of no fewer than ten colours. Executing this pattern presents a significant challenge, as the colours are applied not all at once, but one after the other. The utmost precision is also required to ensure that all the shapes and letters making up the motif are positioned perfectly.

Oystersteel
An exclusive alloy

The new version of the Oyster Perpetual 36 is crafted from Oystersteel. This special alloy with outstanding sheen is exclusively produced for Rolex. It belongs to the 904L steel family. These alloys are most commonly used in high-technology environments, such as the aerospace and chemical industries. Their excellent anti-corrosion properties are comparable to those of precious metals.

Oyster case
A symbol of waterproofness

The Oyster case of the Oyster Perpetual 36 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.

Oyster bracelet
Iconic and robust

Developed in the late 1930s, the Oyster bracelet is fitted on all the watches in the Oyster Perpetual range. Robust, comfortable and elegant, this metal bracelet comprises rows of three broad and slightly curved links. The Oyster bracelet on the Oyster Perpetual 36 is equipped with an Oysterclasp and also includes the Easylink comfort extension link, which allows the wearer to easily adjust the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm for instant additional comfort.

Calibre 3230
A distillation of technology

The Oyster Perpetual 36 is equipped with calibre 3230, a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This self-winding mechanical movement, which incorporates a blue Parachrom hairspring and the Chronergy escapement, delivers outstanding performance, particularly in terms of precision, autonomy, convenience and reliability. It offers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours thanks to its barrel architecture and the escapement’s superior efficiency.

Superlative Chronometer
certification

The Oyster Perpetual 36 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.
