Quark·Modern Labor Appreciation] Long Voyager Type

 In 2012, the new model "Sky-Dweller" (Skywalker) was born, and when it was released, there were only pure gold models (platinum and gold) and rose gold models with leather strap designs. The movement is a self-winding mechanical perpetual movement, with a complex design of dual time zones and annual calendar display. It can display the time of the second time zone through the 24-hour dial on the dial, coupled with the innovative system of Rolex's unique Ring Command rotating outer ring to set the watch function, it can be said that it is a watch designed for travelers and foreign business Watches made by professionals.



As mentioned above, the white gold Ref. 326939 is a model that has existed from the beginning, and the dial is also rare with ivory white Roman characters and black Arabic numerals, with the exception of individual replacements. It may also be affected by rose gold, and the belt style Ref.326139 also appeared in 2014, but the platinum model was announced to be discontinued in 2017, replica watches australia so the platinum model with the belt design was only produced for 3 years. There are different opinions on the reasons for the discontinuation of production. It is said that platinum and oyster steel may be too similar, and the popularity has been discounted.

Then let’s talk about the rose gold model Ref.326135, which can be said to be produced in reverse to platinum. The first belt design, and the 18K gold bracelet, use Rolex’s unique eternal rose gold that is not easy to fade. The chocolate-coloured dial with sunray finish complements the alligator leather strap, the only leather strap version of the Sky-Dweller at launch. The only bright spot should be the chocolate-colored dial. It can be said that the color drives the watch. The dial also has white, pink, and gray styles. In 2014, Ref. 326935 with 18K gold bracelet came out. In 2020, with the emergence of Ref. 326238 and Ref. 326235 with rubber straps, the rose gold models with strap designs will be discontinued.



The last is the key 18K local gold model Ref.326938. It is said to be the key point. In fact, it is because this model has been available since the beginning of production. In addition to the belt style Ref.326138 that appeared in 2014, one can imagine the charm of local gold. . replica watchesOf course, there are many dial color changes in the middle, and now black, white and champagne are produced (as of 2022).

The most interesting part of the Long Voyager is its functional structure (movement), inspired by the ancient Greek celestial phenomenon "Saros". The annual calendar device is called the Saros system, and it only needs to manually adjust February every year, realizing an annual calendar that can be completed with simple operations. The equipped Cal.9001 power reserve is about 72 hours. While reducing the number of operations, it always pursues practicality as much as possible, which is very user-friendly.



This astronomical phenomenon called "Shaluo" is a phenomenon in which the sun, the earth and the moon move to the same straight line every 18 years, which is the so-called solar eclipse and lunar eclipse. The embodiment on the movement is that there is a part called "sun gear" (corresponding to the sun) in the center of the movement, and a part called "satellite gear" (corresponding to the earth) next to it is linked with the calendar ring. At the same time, it realizes the structure of revolving around the "sun gear" in 31 days. The satellite gear has four pawls to distinguish 30-day months, and generates thrust to change the months in months with only 30 days (April, June, September, November). Even with a 31-day calendar structure, when a month with only 30 days is encountered, it will automatically become the next month. The only time that requires manual adjustment is February, and this system is called the "Sara" system.
