In 1908, Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, named the brand "Rolex" and registered the trademark in Switzerland, which became the starting point for the brand's immortality in the watch industry. This year, Rolex launched a new Perpetual watch series, named "1908" to pay tribute to this historic milestone. As a new chapter in the Perpetual series, the design of the 1908 watch is inspired by the first Rolex watches equipped with a perpetual rotor. The watch is equipped with a 39mm case and is only 9.5mm thick. It is slim and elegant, showing its elegant beauty.
Blue Vision
The design of the 950 platinum model draws on the style of the 1931 Oyster Perpetual watch and gives it a modern touch. The 3, 9, 12 numbers and the small seconds hand at 6 o'clock faithfully reproduce the classic elements. The watch dial combines elegance and refinement, with an ice-blue grain-patterned surface protected by a domed blue crystal mirror. Through the transparent case back, you can appreciate the exquisite decoration of the movement and the rotation of the automatic rotor. Its hollow gold oscillating weight (automatic weight) has three wheels and is equipped with improved ball bearings to improve the operating efficiency of the movement. In addition, the movement is also exquisitely decorated. The Rolex Geneva waves and polished pits complement each other, reinterpreting the classic traditional watchmaking craftsmanship.
The top edge of the lugs of the middle case is slightly chamfered to highlight the curved shape and add to its charm. The outer ring is designed to be divided into two parts, the outer part is decorated with elegant triangular grooves, and the inner part is domed. The fine "track-style" minute scale on the periphery of the watch, the double-edged sword-shaped minute hand, and the hour hand with a circle at the end are all meticulously crafted.
The Concerto of Elegant Brown and Green
The watch is paired with a matte brown crocodile leather strap, lined with soft green calfskin and exquisitely decorated with stitching in the same tone, adding a touch of elegance and nobility. This watch strap perfectly combines traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics, showing unparalleled elegance. The clasp uses a cleverly designed 950 platinum dual clasp. Its unique double buckle mechanism ensures that the clasp is always located directly below the wrist when worn, which is not only comfortable to wear but also maintains the balance and beauty of the watch. The overall design reflects the brand's ultimate pursuit of details and careful consideration of the wearer's comfort, highlighting the excellent quality and timeless charm of Rolex watches.
