Depending on the version, the Sky-Dweller can be fitted with an Oyster bracelet, a particularly robust metal bracelet with three-piece links, developed in the late 1930s.
On the Sky-Dweller entirely made of 18 ct yellow or Everose gold, the Oyster bracelet is made in the same precious metal. In addition, on the 18 ct gold versions, the Oyster bracelet includes ceramic inserts inside the links to enhance its flexibility and longevity.
The design, development and production of Rolex bracelets and clasps, as well as the stringent tests they face, involve advanced high technology. And, as with all the components of the watch, aesthetic controls by the human eye guarantee impeccable beauty. The Jubilee, a supple and comfortable five-piece link metal bracelet, was designed for the Oyster Perpetual Datejust, launched in 1945. It is fitted with a folding Oysterclasp on the Sky-Dweller.
The Oyster and Jubilee bracelets on the Sky-Dweller feature the Easylink comfort extension link, developed by Rolex. This system allows the wearer to easily adjust the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, providing additional comfort in any circumstance.
The patented Oysterflex bracelet, developed by Rolex, singularly combines the robustness and reliability of a metal bracelet with the suppleness, comfort and aesthetics of an elastomer strap. At the core of this innovative bracelet are two flexible, curved metal blades – one for each bracelet section – overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer.
On the Sky-Dweller, the Oysterflex bracelet is equipped with the Rolex Glidelock extension system, developed by the brand and patented. This particularly inventive mechanism comprises a rack located under the clasp cover that enables fine adjustment of the bracelet length, without tools. The Rolex Glidelock on the Oysterflex bracelet has six notches of approximately 2.5 mm, allowing the bracelet length to be adjusted easily, up to some 15 mm.
