The Sky-Dweller is the most complicated watch Rolex makes: an annual calendar and dual time set through its Ring Command bezel. It compresses fourteen patents into a case that reads as simply as a Datejust.

Rolex's Sky-Dweller, here in 42mm 18k yellow gold with an annual calendar, carrying a champagne display. Calibre 9001 keeps it running.

Fun fact: The Offshore was drawn in 1993 by a 22 year old Emmanuel Gueit, who doubled the case thickness and was told by the factory that nobody would ever wear it. The retiring CEO called it The Beast at the launch.

The collection

Sky-Dweller

An annual calendar and a second time zone, set through the bezel

The Sky-Dweller launched in 2012 as Rolex's annual calendar, aimed at people whose year is spent between time zones. Its patented Saros calendar tells 30-day months from 31-day ones, so the date needs one manual adjustment a year when February turns to March, and the current month is marked in red in one of twelve windows set among the hour markers. Local time is read from the central hands while the reference time sits on an off-centre 24-hour disc. The fluted Ring Command bezel is how the watch is set: turn it counterclockwise to choose date and month, local time or reference time, then adjust with the winding crown, so the case needs no correctors or extra crown positions.
