This is a high-performance barrel. This component stores then distributes the necessary energy to the calibre in optimal fashion. Conceived and made in-house, it has been constantly improved, down to the finesse of its walls and surfaces. When active, its mainspring coils around the arbor and converts the Perpetual rotor’s rotations to a power reserve of up to 72 hours. This energy is then distilled with regularity and stability, regardless of wearer activity level. Channeling tension to master the art of release.

Local Mission Blue / Sylvia Earle Alliance Hope Spot Champions Rili Djohani and Wira Sanjaya are working closely with communities in Bali to protect some of the world’s most biodiverse coral reefs. Djohani founded the Coral Triangle Center (CTC) to manage and protect the marine environment and ensure sustainable livelihoods for villagers. Building on Balinese cultural traditions, the CTC has helped change attitudes to marine conservation. The organization contributed to the establishment of a Marine Protected Area (MPA) around the island of Nusa Penida, off the south coast of Bali, which, in 2020, was added to Mission Blue’s global network of Hope Spots.

This is our floral motif. This creation, exclusive to the Datejust 31, combines watchmaking tradition with cutting-edge technology. The brass plate of the dial base has a sunray finish, and two different laser beams are used to create matt or grained effects on the surface. The beauty of the flowers' rich tonal variation is revealed through the colouring process, which enhances their intricate textures. This pictorial landscape is adorned with 24 diamonds of varying diameters that shimmer like morning dew and perfect the dial’s transformation.

Since 2016, with the help of local communities, Marine Conservation Cambodia has installed more than 300 artificial reefs in Mission Blue / Sylvia Earle Alliance’s Kep Archipelago Hope Spot. The result has been the regrowth of some 1,000 hectares of seagrass, and increased sightings of endangered wildlife. Thanks to the overwhelming success of the project, the organization has been contracted by the Cambodian government to deploy artificial reefs along the country’s coastline. It will install 5,000 artificial reefs over the next five-and-a-half years. Discover more on bit.ly/Connected_Coast #Rolex #PerpetualPlanet #MissionBlue

Founded in 2008, Marine Conservation Cambodia has been installing artificial reefs to restore the depleted seabed in the Kep Archipelago since 2016. The programme, supported by our Perpetual Planet Initiative partner Mission Blue / Sylvia Earle Alliance, has seen more than 1,000 hectares of seagrass ecosystems restored around the islands. The return of the seagrass has led to wildlife thriving in the area, including the endangered Irrawaddy dolphin and green turtle. The ocean’s largest vegetarian, the dugong, has also returned to Cambodian waters, years after it was last seen there. Discover more on bit.ly/Grassroots_ #Rolex #PerpetualPlanet #MissionBlue

This is our Oysterlock clasp. Intended for our Professional watches, it is reinforced by a safety catch that prevents accidental opening. The clasp’s reliability is crucial as it ensures peace of mind, even in the most extreme environments. The Oysterlock clasp is a two-way lock that can both hold and liberate. By reducing the risk of the watch unfastening, it gives wearers the confidence to keep moving. Discover more on.rolex.com/Oysterlock_ #Rolex #Watchmaking #Perpetual

Winning a 2023 Rolex Award helps Liu Shaochuang to scale up his research by tracking and monitoring more wild camels.

This is our Rolesor. Developed in the 1930s, it combines steel and gold. Bold at first glance, this unique marriage of robustness and nobility has become a signature alliance; better yet, a symbol of unity within difference. Meticulously studied, this association showcases the emblematic parts of our watches – bezel, bracelet and crown – thanks to our 18ct yellow, white or Everose gold. A winning combination, Rolesor embraces contrasts. It creates no opposition, only endless possibilities. Discover more on.rolex.com/Rolesor_ #Rolex #Watchmaking #Perpetual

Through the use of tracking collars and remote sensing technology, 2023 Rolex Awards Laureate Liu Shaochuang has been monitoring the movements of wild camels across the Gobi Desert. He has found their habitat is shrinking as a result of climate change and human activity, placing them in greater danger of both predation and disease. Liu believes that by identifying the threats the camels face, his findings can help mitigate them and protect the critically endangered species.
