The newest Rolex Sky Dweller Oysterflex today headlines an all-star lineup as Tim Mosso takes watch collectors on a guided luxury watch safari. While the 2021 Rolex novelties have yet to hit shelves, the 2020 Sky Dweller on Oysterflex strap / bracelet is ready to roll from the world leading WatchBox inventory of luxury preowned watches. Add a white gold Rolex GMT Master II and a discontinued Oyster Perpetual 39mm, and you have a triple threat of sports watches ready to tackle spring 2021.

Originally launched at Baselworld 2012, the Sky Dweller is Rolex’s most complicated watch of all time. With a GMT second time zone in 24-hour format, a clever annual calendar, and an automatic winding caliber 9001 with three days of power reserve, this 42mm Rolex is a versatile companion. Rolex’s annual calendar is wheel-based and capable of being set forward or backwards with no risk of damage. A “Ring Command” bi-directional bezel cycles between the three setting modes of the Sky Dweller movement.

Rolex’s Sky Dweller – here in Everose rose gold – is a rugged sports watch. New for 2020, the black Rolex Oysterflex strap contrasts handsomely with the warm gleam of rose gold and improves the sporting credentials of the Sky-Dweller model. The Oyster clasp incorporates a version of the Glidelock sliding size adjustment used in the Submariner and Sea Dweller models. Despite the mobile bezel, the Sky Dweller boasts 100-meter water resistance. Needless to say, this watch also incorporates substantial antimagnetic and shock protection.

This Sky Dweller, reference 326235, incorporates a “chocolate” sunburst metallic dial with fully luminescent rose gold hour indices.

For those who prefer a more traditional Rolex sports watch experience, today’s show also features GMT-Master II and a 39mm Oyster Perpetual. This particular GMT-Master II is the 126719BLRO – the white gold “Pepsi” bezel GMT with Oyster bracelet that debuted at Baselworld 2019. Minimalists will enjoy our Oyster Perpetual 39 with cyan accented grey metallic sunburst dial.
