Rolex Oyster Perpetual with blue vignette dial

Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch dials feature different colors and gem materials such as Meteorite, Mother of Pearl, Lapis, Onyx and Lilac Stone. Learn a brief history and how to differentiate between the Oyster Case and the Oyster Perpetual models.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual – A Brief History

The “Oyster” case was developed by Rolex in 1926 as the world’s first waterproof case for a wristwatch. Oftentimes, consumers will confuse Rolex Oyster as a model itself however, it’s simply a water-resistant case meant to keep the movement safe from damage. For example, you can find ”Oyster Perpetual” on the dial of a Rolex Datejust, but the model is ”Datejust”.

In 1933, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual was released as the first self-winding wristwatch with a new automatic movement. The word “Perpetual” means ongoing or never-ending, therefore as you wear the watch, it continues to tick year after year.
