At Watches & Wonders 2024, Rolex introduced six new models with unique features. The Perpetual 1908, for instance, stands out with its 950 platinum case and ice-blue grain dial, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of Geneva’s high-end fake watches.
1908 holds a special place in Rolex’s history, marking when the Rolex trademark was officially registered in Switzerland. The Perpetual 1908, a slim watch that elegantly displays time, also signifies the Geneva Giant’s renewed focus on the formal watch category. Its design, from the case lines to the dial, draws inspiration from the first batch of timepieces equipped with a perpetual rotor in 1931, paying homage to the classics while infusing a modern touch. It resembles the 2023 K gold model in appearance, but its dial craftsmanship is more advanced.
The ice blue grain pattern dial uses machine engraving technology (guilloche technology) to repeatedly make the three-dimensional decorative round window geometric pattern appear. Guilloche is like engraving with a ruler. In traditional engraving technology, the work is fixed, and the props are moved to engrave various patterns, while in guilloche technology, the knife head does not move, and the engraved work moves according to the pattern’s needs. When you turn the work by hand, your hand controls the force of the parts on the knife. Only well-trained artisans can carve pure guilloche patterns.
The 39mm dial uses two central hands and a small second-hand dial at 6 o’clock to display the time. The minute hand is shaped like a bladed sword, and Breguet designs the end of the hour hand. The hands and hour marks of different styles complement each other. Looking back at the early antique Rolex watches, there were designs with hollow circles at the end of the hour and minute hands. The novel approach of using the hour hand with a circle at the end and the classic Barton minute hand makes 1908 modern but only with a classic temperament. Replica swiss watches.
A good watch is inseparable from its inner movement. Through the transparent case back, let us take a peek at the beating heart of the Perpetual 1908. It is equipped with the 7140 movement developed by Rolex, which was launched by Rolex in 2023 as an exclusive movement for the 1908 model and released with the watch. It is equipped with a patented geometric structure Syloxi silicon hairspring. At the same time, this movement also brings together many essential inventions of Rolex, such as Geneva ripples and gold hollow automatic rotors, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the watch, and the power reserve is about 66 hours.
The overall thickness is 9.5mm, and it will feel more comfortable on the wrist after getting started. In addition, the slim lug lines are fully integrated into the arc of the round case, and the overall wearing feeling is very harmonious.
Let’s look at the strap again. This watch is equipped with a black or brown crocodile leather strap. The first detail I noticed was that the cowhide lining of the crocodile leather strap is Rolex’s most classic green. The green lining makes the wearer feel more comfortable and improves the overall texture. If you look closely, the stitching is also in the same color.
My eyes continue to slide down to the strap’s double buckle, composed of two symmetrical metal pieces. The design is exquisite and very convenient to wear.
Overall, the unique shape of the hands, the hour markers, and the domed delicate grooved outer ring all symbolize the Rolex watchmaking tradition.
