Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41

Oyster Perpetual 41 Specifications

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 embodies the perfect fusion of form and function. Each component is engineered to the highest standards, ensuring optimal performance and durability. The watch combines robust construction with refined aesthetics, creating a timepiece that excels in both daily wear and special occasions.

Materials

The Oyster Perpetual 41 showcases Rolex's mastery of materials, primarily constructed from Oystersteel, a proprietary 904L stainless steel alloy. This exceptional material offers superior resistance to corrosion while maintaining an exquisite polish, setting it apart from conventional steel watches. The smooth bezel features a meticulously polished finish that creates subtle light reflections, enhancing the watch's understated elegance.

The screw-down crown utilizes Rolex's Twinlock double waterproofness system, crafted from the same Oystersteel as the case. The sapphire crystal, virtually scratchproof and featuring an anti-reflective coating, protects the dial while ensuring optimal legibility. Every component undergoes rigorous quality control to meet Rolex's exacting standards for durability and aesthetic excellence.

Movement

At the heart of the Oyster Perpetual 41 beats the in-house Caliber 3230, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This sophisticated mechanism features the innovative Chronergy escapement, which combines high energy efficiency with enhanced reliability. The oscillator incorporates Rolex's patented blue Parachrom hairspring, offering exceptional resistance to magnetic fields.

The movement holds 31 jewels and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), delivering remarkable precision. The Perpetual rotor ensures efficient self-winding, while the impressive 70-hour power reserve allows the watch to maintain accurate timekeeping even when unworn over weekends. Each movement achieves Superlative Chronometer certification, exceeding industry standards.

Dial

The Oyster Perpetual 41 collection features an array of striking dial colors that have captured collectors' attention worldwide. From vibrant shades like coral red, yellow (all discontinued), green, and the turquoise blue Celebration motif dial, to sophisticated tones of silver, black, and bright blue, each dial showcases Rolex's commitment to impeccable finishing. The sunburst finish creates dynamic light interactions, while the applied hour markers feature Chromalight luminescence.

The minimalist dial layout emphasizes pure functionality with simple stick markers and Mercedes-style hands. Double markers at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, along with the distinctive triangle at 12 o'clock, ensure optimal legibility. The "Rolex" signature and "Oyster Perpetual" text are applied with precision, maintaining perfect symmetry and balance across the dial's surface.

Bracelet

The Oyster bracelet on the Oyster Perpetual 41 represents decades of refinement in bracelet design. Crafted from Oystersteel, it features broad, three-piece links that combine comfort with durability. The central links are polished to a high shine, while the outer links feature a brushed finish, creating an elegant contrast that complements the case finishing.

The bracelet incorporates Rolex's Easylink comfort extension link, allowing for up to 5mm of adjustment without tools. The Oysterclasp ensures secure closure while maintaining the bracelet's sleek profile. Each link is carefully engineered to prevent stretching over time, while the solid end links create a seamless transition from case to bracelet.

Sizes

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 boasts perfectly balanced proportions that exemplify modern luxury sports watch design. Every dimension has been carefully considered to create a timepiece that sits comfortably on most wrist sizes while maintaining an authoritative presence. The watch strikes an ideal balance between bold visibility and everyday wearability.

• Diameter: The 41mm case size delivers a commanding presence while remaining versatile enough for both formal and casual occasions.
• Thickness: A refined 11.7mm profile creates a sleek silhouette that slips easily under a cuff while maintaining robust durability.
• Lug to Lug: The 47.5mm span ensures excellent wrist fit across a wide range of wrist sizes while maintaining proper proportions.
• Lug Width: At 21mm, the lugs perfectly balance the case proportions while accommodating the robust Oyster bracelet.

Water Resistance

The Oyster Perpetual 41 maintains water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet), thanks to its Twinlock crown system and hermetically sealed caseback. This robust waterproofness makes it suitable for swimming and snorkeling, though not for deep-water diving. The watch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure its water resistance meets Rolex's stringent standards for daily wear.
