Best Rolex Sky-Dweller Watches Equipped with Jubilee Bracelet
Just as the brand does each year, in 2022 Rolex has introduced a series of new model line extensions for its popular watches. In the Sky-Dweller collection, we watch lovers get six new models, each paired with one of Rolex’s Jubilee-style multi-link straps. 2022’s new Rolex Sky-Dweller replica watches include primarily steel models, as well as two-tone Rolesor versions. Rolex already offers the Sky-Dweller on the Oyster strap together with the Oysterflex strap. On the Jubilee strap, references 326933 and 326934 are very much like the “Super Datejusts”, highly similar in personality but with larger cases and more complex movements than the iconic Datejust.
This is a good opportunity to mention that although the current generation of Rolex Datejust 41 and Sky-Dweller differ in size by 1mm on paper, in my opinion, the 42mm wide Sky-Dweller is the larger, thicker watch that is best suited for larger wrist sizes. The price difference between these two models is not incredible either, although both are hard to come by from a 2022 perspective. My guess is that the Sky-Dweller will remain more difficult to obtain today than the Datejust due to it being a lower volume product.
Inside the Sky-Dweller is a complex Rolex in-house made 9001 automatic movements. With the exception of the chronograph movement inside the Daytona watch, this is the most complex mechanical movement Rolex currently produces. The self-winding caliber 9001 features the time, a GMT indicator, and an annual calendar that displays both the date and the month. This 4 Hz running frequency movement provides a power reserve of approximately 3 days and features one of Rolex’s most interesting systems of movement regulation functions, using a bezel Rolex calls the “Ring Command”.
The Rolex Sky-Dweller may be the brand’s most “friendly watch offering, but it has always struggled with its own design themes. Early versions of the Sky-Dweller dial were not universally loved, and over time Rolex has made significant improvements to the dial.
While Rolex has the larger Oyster Pro Sport, the Sky-Dweller remains Rolex’s largest decorative model, and that alone makes it attractive to many wearers. For me, that appeal is largely based on its bold size, its complicated movement, and the fact that it is not one of Rolex’s more common watches. The world has changed a lot since replica Rolex first introduced the Sky-Dweller collection a few years ago, and it will take longer for the Sky-Dweller to really make its mark in the larger Rolex-themed pantheon.
