How to Set Your Rolex Oyster Perpetual

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is the brand's entry-level collection, and it serves as the foundation for virtually all modern Rolex watches.

Combining the iconic Swiss watch manufacturer's two revolutionary innovations - the waterproof Oyster case and the self-winding Perpetual movement - the Rolex Oyster Perpetual is one of the brand’s oldest collections with a history that dates all the way back to the 1930s. Characterized by a clean and timeless design that consists of three hands to display the hours, minutes, and seconds, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual is available in a wide range of case sizes and with a vast assortment of different dial colors.

How to Set Your Rolex Oyster Perpetual:

  1. First, unscrew the winding crown until it is completely free from the threads that secure it to the case.
  2. Then, pull the crown out until you feel a faint click.
  3. Rotate the crown in either direction until the correct time is displayed by the hands.
  4. Once the time has been set, push in the winding crown and screw it back down to the case.

* The winding crown on your Rolex Oyster Perpetual must be fully screwed down to ensure that it stays protected against moisture and dirt.

As simple and straightforward as a watch can be, the Oyster Perpetual is truly a timeless classic, and just like every Rolex watch - it is built to last a lifetime.
