DATEJUST 41mm 126334 Blue Dial Jubilee

Bright Blue Dial

The sunray finish creates delicate light reflections on many dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. It is obtained using masterful brushing techniques that create grooves running outwards from the centre of the dial. Light is diffused consistently along each engraving, creating a characteristic subtle glow that moves depending on the position of the wrist. Once the sunray finish has been completed, the dial colour is applied using Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating. A light coat of varnish gives the dial its final look.

The Fluted Bezel

The fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using specific tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, always in gold.

White Rolesor

Gold is coveted for its lustre and nobility. Steel reinforces strength and reliability. Together, they harmoniously combine the best of their properties. A true signature, Rolesor has featured on models since the early 1930s, and was trademarked as a name in 1933. It is one of the prominent pillars of the Oyster collection.
