Inquire about Rolex Sky-Dweller
Rolex Sky-Dweller has been around for almost a decade now. Even though that makes the watch model sound old, it is relatively new when you compare it to the 50-year-old Daytonas or the Datejust. While the watch was released in 2012 with a modern touch, it clearly shows that its roots go all the way back to the old times.
It all started with the Rolex GMT Master, which comes with a GMT function allowing users to check time from another timezone. The feature was regarded but the design of the watch was not. During the 1950s and the 1960s, people preferred subtle looking yet premium dress watches like the Day-Date or the Datejust. However, they also wanted to have a GMT function for its usability.
Implementing a GMT function to a Datejust-styled watch might have helped a lot. It would have not only given users the functionality but also emphasized the image of luxury better. But at that time, Rolex did not have the technology to bring such a complicated watch into existence.
Fast forward to 2012, Rolex created a watchmaking masterpiece and named it the Sky-Dweller. While the Sea-Dweller was a more advanced model of the Submariner, the Sky-Dweller was more of a timepiece that sits somewhere between the sporty and functional GMT Master II and the sophisticated Datejust.
Initial Sky-Dweller models came with a white GMT wheel on the dial. Now, the new Sky-Dwellers come with a matching wheel making the whole dial look more integrated. Currently, there are many options to choose from while shopping for a Sky-Dweller. There is gold, steel, two-tone and more. Each combination also comes with dial variations.
The watch is visually appealing and has all the required functions. One of the most impressive features of the watch has to be the month indicator. It is just brilliant how Rolex thought of using each hour marker to correspond with the month of the year.
Rolex Sky-Dweller watches are in great demand and due to the time-consuming production run, the prices of these watches are inflated in the secondary market. This clearly shows that Sky-Dwellers can not only hold their value but also appreciate over time.
