Sky-Dweller first blipped onto the radar of Rolex’s esteemed collection in 2012. It was an elegant, highly-practical timepiece that derived few cues from the brand’s signature aesthetics but was also kitted with exciting novelties. This reference 326934 is an updated model. Initially launched in precious metals only, this reference was Sky-Dweller’s foray into more accessible materials. Rendered in signature Rolesor — a combination of stainless steel and gold — this watch measures a notable 42mm. The recognisable fluted bezel interestingly serves as more than an adornment on this watch. On this Rolex Sky-Dweller, the bezel is equipped with a rotatable Ring Command system that assists the screwed-down crown in setting the functions.

Ease of use and elevated practicality is the name of the game on the dial. While luminous indexes and hands execute the primary task of indicating hours and minutes, a central rotating disc carries out the second time zone function with the help of an inverted red triangle below the Rolex script. Additionally, while the aperture at three performs the date function conventionally, an annual calendar marking the months is added to the dial quite unconventionally. Each hour index comes accompanied by a rectangular window to display the current month. The aim was to show all the functions — local time, second time zone, date, and month — together at once. And it has been achieved quite wonderfully by Rolex here.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
