Rolex Oyster Perpetual 31mm Black 277200

Black Dial – Precision and Artistry in Perfect Harmony

The black dial of the Oyster Perpetual is crafted through a meticulous process that blends traditional watchmaking expertise with advanced technology. The rich black tone begins as a liquid lacquer, carefully applied in a controlled environment to ensure a flawless, dust-free finish.

The brass dial base is coated with six successive layers of lacquer to create a smooth, uniform surface. It is then varnished and polished to reveal the full depth and brilliance of the colour. Inscriptions are pad printed with precision, while the hour markers and crown are riveted by hand, resulting in a dial of refined elegance, ready to be placed atop the movement during final assembly.

Rolex’s Oystersteel is a specially developed stainless steel designed to offer exceptional strength and outstanding resistance to corrosion. Part of the high-performance 904L steel family, Oystersteel is widely used in aerospace, chemical, and other high-technology industries where durability is essential.

This remarkable alloy not only withstands the harshest environments but also achieves a flawless polished finish, maintaining its brilliance over time. Its combination of resilience and refined aesthetics makes Oystersteel a cornerstone of Rolex craftsmanship.
