AN OBSESSION WITH PERFECTION
THE FLUTED BEZEL
In the beginning, the Oyster bezel fluting had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was, furthermore, identical to the fluting on the caseback, which was also screwed onto the case for the same reason, using specific Rolex tools. Over time, the fluting became a purely aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex signature feature. The fluting is today a mark of distinction that is only available on yellow, Everose or white gold models.
