Rolex Oyster Perpetual 28

Oyster Perpetual 28 Specifications

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 28 exemplifies precision engineering and refined aesthetics. Each component is crafted to exacting standards, ensuring optimal performance and durability. The watch combines classic design elements with modern innovations, creating a timepiece that maintains its beauty and functionality for generations.

Materials

The Oyster Perpetual 28 demonstrates exceptional material quality through the exclusive use of Oystersteel, a proprietary 904L steel alloy. This remarkable metal delivers unmatched resistance to corrosion while maintaining brilliant luster even in harsh conditions. The implementation throughout the case and bracelet ensures uniform durability and a consistently elegant appearance.

The construction features additional premium components strategically selected for longevity and protection. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal shields the dial while offering exceptional clarity, and the screw-down crown integrates the innovative Twinlock system. This dual waterproofness system works in conjunction with the case to maintain water resistance up to 100 meters.

Movement

The Caliber 2232, a self-winding mechanical movement, exemplifies Rolex’s technical mastery. This sophisticated powerhouse utilizes the revolutionary Syloxi hairspring, crafted from silicon to deliver enhanced stability across temperature variations.

This movement stands out through Superlative Chronometer certification, a prestigious designation confirming success in both Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests and internal Rolex standards. With a power reserve of approximately 55 hours, the caliber maintains accuracy even during extended periods off the wrist.

Dial

The Oyster Perpetual 28 collection features meticulously crafted dials that showcase excellence in finishing techniques. Each variant, from sophisticated silver to vibrant candy pink, incorporates a sunburst finish that creates captivating light interactions. The surface treatment diffuses light outward from the center, producing a dynamic display that shifts with every wrist movement.

The dial combines functionality with aesthetic appeal through thoughtful design elements. The hands and hour markers feature Chromalight display technology, ensuring exceptional legibility in low-light conditions. The minimalist approach emphasizes clean lines and perfect proportions, while applied markers add depth and sophistication to the overall composition.

Bracelet

The Oyster bracelet exemplifies decades of refinement in design and engineering. Each three-piece link utilizes Oystersteel construction, ensuring durability while maintaining a sophisticated appearance. The broad center links provide visual weight and stability, while the outer links create a seamless transition to the case. Premium finishing processes result in both tactile comfort and visual elegance.

The bracelet integrates innovative comfort features through the folding Oysterclasp and Easylink extension system. This ingenious mechanism allows quick adjustment up to 5mm, accommodating natural wrist size fluctuations throughout the day. The clasp design ensures both security and ease of operation, while maintaining clean lines and professional appearance.

Sizes

The dimensions for the Oyster Perpetual 28 reflect a commitment to optimal proportions and wearability. Each measurement has been carefully calculated to ensure perfect balance on the wrist, while maintaining the distinctive presence expected from a luxury timepiece. The harmonious relationship between these components results in a watch that feels as comfortable as it looks elegant.

• Diameter: The refined 28mm diameter creates an ideal balance between presence and versatility, making this model particularly suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes while maintaining classic aesthetics.
• Thickness: At 11mm in thickness, the streamlined case height allows the watch to slide easily under a cuff while providing sufficient depth to house the sophisticated automatic movement.
• Lug to Lug: With a lug-to-lug measurement of 43mm, the watch sits with perfect stability on the wrist without overhang, creating a comfortable fit regardless of wrist shape or size.
• Lug Width: The 14mm lug width achieves visual harmony with the case while ensuring a secure connection to the Oyster bracelet, contributing to overall stability and comfort.

Water Resistance

The Oyster case architecture in the Rolex OP 28 delivers robust water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet). This capability stems from multiple engineered features including the Twinlock crown system and precision case seals. While this depth rating makes the watch suitable for swimming and recreational water activities, it maintains a slim and elegant profile that distinguishes the dress watch aesthetic. The multi-component sealing system includes a screw-down crown, specially engineered gaskets, and a monobloc middle case that work in concert to protect the movement.

The engineering behind this water resistance demonstrates a balance between practicality and refinement. The seamless integration of these technical features allows the watch to serve as both a reliable water-resistant timepiece and an elegant daily companion, embodying the versatility that defines the Oyster Perpetual collection. Each component undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent performance while preserving the refined proportions of the case.
