Tyson Fury – Rolex Sky-Dweller

Congratulations to boxing world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who last night at Wembley – London retained his WBC heavyweight title with a perfect right uppercut after six one-sided rounds against Dillian Whyte. During the press conference ahead of the fight, he was wearing a 42mm Rolex Sky-Dweller in 18k everose gold with a slate black dial on an oyster bracelet.

About the Watch

The Sky-Dweller has long been one of the most intriguing and perplexing contemporary Rolexes. As a classy traveler’s timepiece, it’s one of the most sophisticated, and it’s the aristocratic elder brother of the instrument GMT-Master II. It was always considered an outside Rolex because of its exclusive positioning and solid gold offering.

The Sky-Dweller is a beautiful watch for frequent travelers that displays the time in two consecutive zones simultaneously and contains a yearly calendar. The reference time is displayed on an off-center disc using a 24-hour format, and the local time is indicated with traditional center hands. The Saros yearly calendar automatically distinguishes between 30- and 31-day months. It has a unique system and a distinctive display that shows the months of the year in 12 holes around the perimeter of the dial. On the other hand, the current month is highlighted in red. The local time is used to determine the instant date change.

The luminous Chromalight indicator on the dial is a new feature that enhances readability in low-light situations. Furthermore, the hands, as well as hour pointers on the Sky-Dweller, are treated or coated with a luminous substance that creates a lengthy blue glow in low-light circumstances.

The caliber 9001, a self-winding mechanical movement created and built entirely by Rolex, powers the Sky-Dweller. It is among the most complicated calibers ever manufactured by the company, with seven patents protecting it. In addition, it is singularly exact and trustworthy due to its architecture, constructability, and novel features.

A 42mm Oyster casing houses the Sky-Dweller. Nevertheless, it wears much more significant, measuring over 50mm from lug to lug. With a thickness of 14.1mm, it is also fairly durable. The casing boasts lovely ergonomics, soft corners, and a caseback that properly molds the wrist. It is incredibly comfortable even while utilizing your hands and arms in manners that exert pressure on the timepiece.

The finishing is also extremely impressive. To generate contrast, it combines a blend of satin and extreme polish. The shine is stunning and simply feels and looks luxurious.

Because the Ring Command Bezel reduces the need for pushers, the casing has a straightforward design. There is no crown guard on the case. This, combined with the fluted bezel, provides the Sky-Dweller a high-end dress timepiece vibe.

The fluted bezel serves a practical purpose in addition to its aesthetic appeal. You can modify whichever complication you desire with the Ring Command Bezel. It controls the functions in tandem with the crown.

To utilize it, pull out its crown, and rotate the Ring Command Bezel into three places based on whatever complication you would like to modify. It’s incredibly straightforward and allows for quick setup.
