Sky-Dweller first blipped onto the radar of Rolex's esteemed collection in 2012. It was an elegant, highly-practical timepiece that derived few cues from the brand's signature aesthetics but was also kitted with exciting novelties. The first update to the line was done in 2017; this reference 326933 was one of those updated models. Initially launched in precious metals only, this reference was Sky-Dweller's foray into more accessible materials. Rendered in signature Rolesor - a combination of stainless steel and gold - this watch measures a notable 42mm. The recognisable fluted bezel interestingly serves as more than an adornment on this watch. On this Rolex Sky-Dweller, the bezel is equipped with a rotatable Ring Command system that assists the screwed-down crown in setting the functions.
Ease of use and elevated practicality are the cynosures on the dial. While luminous indexes and hands execute the primary task of indicating hours and minutes, a central rotating disc with an inverted red triangle carries out the second time zone function. Additionally, while the date aperture at three performs the date function conventionally, an annual calendar marking the months is added to the dial quite unconventionally. Each hour index comes accompanied by a rectangular window to display the current month. The aim was to show all the functions - local time, second time zone, date, and month - together at once. And it has been achieved quite wonderfully by Rolex here.
