A Brief Review of the Stainless Steel Rolex Sky-Dweller

September 10th, 2019

The Rolex Sky-Dweller has always been a slightly contradictory model but indeed, one of the innovative watches from the Geneva-based Swiss manufacturer. The watch is a perfect combination of technical elegance, easy usability and durability, made especially for globetrotters or travellers. When launched in 2012, the timepiece was available only in precious metals. However, the manufacturer released two Rolesor versions of the Sky-Dweller in 2017.

Today, let’s take a quick look at the stainless steel version of Rolex Sky-Dweller featuring a white gold bezel. It is now ideally the most affordable model out there in the market.

However, for those who are looking to sell your Rolex or sell your Rolex Sky-Dweller, make sure that you get in touch with any trusted watch buyers in London or anywhere in the UK to make the process smooth and hassle-free.

The Rolex Sky-Dweller – Complications

The Rolex Sky-Dweller features two significant complications. One is a GMT complication or a dual-time zone and second, an annual calendar.

• The GMT complication displays the time of dual time zones simultaneously. However, it comes with an hour hand that you can independently set forward or backwards.
• While the local time is displayed with a minute and hour-hands, the 24hour-hand shows the home time.
• On the other hand, the annual calendar is virtually also straightforward. When compared to perpetual calendars, the annual calendar complication is typically less complicated mechanically.
• The exciting fact is that the annual calendar is a pretty recent innovation in the wristwatches.
• However, Rolex added only four wheels to its common proprietary date mechanism to develop Rolex’s annual calendar mechanism.

The Third Complication – Ring Command Bezel

Interestingly enough, the Rolex Sky-Dweller is also known to sport a third complication. Now, what is it? – The Ring Command Bezel. Rolex introduced the Ring Command Bezel first in the Rolex Yacht-Master II. However, this bezel enables to set all indications with a crown that possess one setting position.

The mechanism may seem quite complicated as it also requires a substantial time to get acquainted. But yet it is indeed more comfortable to use. Here’s how it works:

• For setting the time, you need to at first unscrew the crown and tug it out to setting position.
• Then, turn the bezel to the left as much as possible, and this will stop the seconds-hand, enabling you to set the time. However, the 24hour ring and hour-hand are kept synchronised at this position.
• Now, if you want to set the date and month, you can turn the bezel to the initial setting position, that is, nearly 9:30 on the watch dial.
• While the watch doesn’t feature any separate quickset for the month, the crown needs to be turned continually until the date window shows the correct date.

The beautifully engineered detents fitted at each setting position will allow you to feel the bezel’s position. The entire system is not only convenient and straightforward to use but also involves a lot of fun. And, it is undoubtedly unlike any other things you will find other manufacturers.

On The Road With The Sky-Dweller

The Sky-Dweller models introduced in 2017 were not all steel; instead you can say a mixture of steel and gold that Rolex named as Rolesor. The yellow Rolesor version flaunted a steel case, yellow gold bezel along with centre bracelet links. You can ideally consider it as the quintessential look of the manufacturer.

However, the other Rolesor version of Sky-Dweller with white gold fluted bezel looked quite understated to allure the most determined customers. Thus, what factors made the watch so desirable among collectors?

A couple of significant aspects that made the Sky-Dweller a watch to own ideally include:

• Rolex modulated the dial by replacing the Roman or Arabic numerals with plain batons.
• The GMT disc was also offered the colour similar to the rest of the watch dial.
• While the whole dial was made more monochromatic, it added to its legibility. However, it offered the entire dial a little touch of the extra class.
• Rolex also made the stick hands a little bit longer.

However, the new Rolex Sky-Dweller equips the same in-house Rolex Calibre 9001 movement. The movement features all the Rolex innovations such as the Paraflex shock absorbers and blue Paramagnetic Parachrom hairspring.

Thus, with the combination of handy functionality and a robust mixture of precious metals, the Rolex Sky-Dweller stainless steel has turned to be a perfect everyday watch.
