Rolex Oyster Perpetual 28 Ref. 276200-0001 – Timeless Elegance in Oystersteel
Introduction
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 28 Ref. 276200-0001 embodies the brand’s commitment to precision, durability, and timeless design. With its captivating silver dial and robust Oystersteel construction, this timepiece seamlessly blends classic aesthetics with modern watchmaking technology.
Design and Materials
Crafted from Oystersteel, a proprietary 904L stainless steel alloy developed by Rolex, the 28mm case ensures exceptional resistance to corrosion and maintains its polished finish even in the harshest environments. The domed bezel adds a touch of sophistication, while the silver dial provides a subtle yet distinctive appearance, enhancing legibility and elegance.
The dial features a sunray finish that creates delicate light reflections, achieved through masterful brushing techniques that create grooves running outwards from the center of the dial. Light is diffused consistently along each engraving, creating a characteristic subtle glow that moves depending on the position of the wrist.
The dial also features Chromalight hour markers and hands, emitting a long-lasting blue luminescence for optimal readability in low-light conditions. The minimalist design, devoid of a date window, emphasizes the purity of timekeeping.
Movement and Performance
At the heart of this model lies the Rolex Caliber 2232, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured in-house. This movement boasts a power reserve of approximately 55 hours and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Incorporating Rolex’s patented Syloxi hairspring in silicon and Paraflex shock absorbers, the Caliber 2232 offers enhanced efficiency, precision, and resistance to shocks and magnetic fields.
Bracelet and Clasp
The watch 276200-0001 is fitted with the signature Oyster bracelet, known for its robustness and comfort. Comprising three flat links, the bracelet is equipped with an Oysterclasp and the Easylink comfort extension link, allowing the wearer to adjust the bracelet length by approximately 5mm for optimal fit.
