A Brief History of the Rolex Sky-Dweller

Rolex debuted the Sky-Dweller collection in 2012. It’s not often Rolex unveils an entirely new model, so it wasn’t a surprise that the novel Sky-Dweller was the biggest news to come out of Baselworld that year. The Sky-Dweller was a lot to take in at first – it had a generously sized 42mm case exclusively available in solid gold, which was topped with a rotating fluted bezel that played a part in controlling the internal movement. Its dial was packed with information including two time zones, a date window, and a month indicator – oh, and it was also an annual calendar..

For the first five years of the Sky-Dweller’s history, the watch was only available in full gold, making it out of reach for most collectors.  However, in 2017, Rolex dropped the entry price of the Sky-Dweller by adding two new Rolesor (the brand’s term for watches that combine gold and steel) options to the Sky-Dweller line including the two-tone yellow gold/steel ref. 326933 and the subject of our discussion here, the steel Sky-Dweller ref. 326934 with a white gold bezel. The pair of then-new Sky-Dweller watches were equipped with Oyster bracelets and Rolex offered a few different dial colors.

The Appeal of the Rolex Sky-Dweller 326934 Blue Dial

Although the debut of the Sky-Dweller was big news, there was some trepidation among the watch enthusiast crowd about the new model – even among Rolex fans. However, by the time the Sky-Dweller 326934 came onto the scene, it received a much warmer welcome.

Perhaps it’s because the steel/white gold combination was much more accessible than previous all-gold versions and onlookers could let themselves imagine wearing the watch. Maybe it’s because Rolex settled into using cleaner baton hour markers on the dial and nixed the more ornate Arabic and Roman numerals. Another possibility was that the market grew to appreciate the striking looks and mechanical complexity of the Sky-Dweller. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time that a new Rolex model took a few years to catch on with the general public.

Or maybe, it’s that striking bright blue dial that changed everything. It’s easy to see how the rich blue hue contrasts beautifully with the sleek steel case and glistening white gold fluted bezel. Plus, the blue sets the perfect stage for the lume-filled baton markers, white text, and red accents to truly pop on the dial. The blue face is refined, yet it adds more personality to the watch compared to the muted white and black dials also available with the white Rolesor Sky-Dweller. Initially, the Rolex Sky-Dweller 26934 was only available mounted on a sporty steel three-link Oyster bracelet. However, in 2021, Rolex added the dressier five-link Jubilee steel bracelet as an option too.

The Caliber 9001 is one of Rolex’s most complicated modern movements, developed and manufactured entirely in-house. The beauty of this movement lies in its ease of use, despite the complexity of what it offers. Local time is read via the traditional center hands while a second time zone is read via a small inverted triangle positioned above a slightly off-centered 24-hour disc. Along with the traditional date window at 3 o’clock Rolex also furnished the Sky-Dweller with 12 dial windows next to the hour markers, which fill in red to indicate the current month. Finally, one of the most impressive features of Caliber 9001 is that it’s an annual calendar, which means that the Sky-Dweller can distinguish between months that have 30 or 31 days. The wearer will only need to correct the watch’s calendar once a year – on March 1st – due to the fact that annual calendar watches cannot account for leap years.

Rolex and the Color Blue

Blue has been an exceedingly popular color for Rolex over the last few years. When it upgraded the Submariner bezels to Cerachrom, the classic blue color profile was carried over onto the next generation of watches. Additionally, on the Batman GMT-Master II, Rolex decided to introduce an all-new blue and black Cerachrom bezel, which made the watch immensely popular, creating waitlists at dealers the morning it was announced. And let’s not forget the Yacht-Master II and its blue bezel against its stainless and Everose Rolesor case and bracelet.

However, not all Rolex blues are created equal. Smurf blue, Batman blue, Milgauss blue (Z-Blue) – they’re all completely different. Despite all being variations of the rich, pigmented blue we’ve come to know and love from Rolex, they all feature a very different look. The Sky-Dweller blue is cool, dark, and elegant. It has a steely quality that matches the case and band. The blue face on this watch is undeniably superb and will no doubt cement the reference 326934 Sky-Dweller as a long-time favorite among collectors.

The Collectible Rolex Sky-Dweller

It’s so secret that the Rolex Sky-Dweller had a slow start. Despite slick looks, incredible mechanical ingenuity, and a direct appeal to the world’s growing jet-set, this watch received little appreciation upon its initial release in 2012. Much of that can be attributed to the fact that it was originally only available in solid 18k gold, giving it a hefty price tag and also making it quite heavy on the wrist.

However, the addition of the white Rolesor Sky-Dweller, particularly with the blue dial, propelled the entire collection into the spotlight. What the blue dial offers is something different – wearable and inviting, luxurious yet robust.  It’s everything the Rolex Sky-Dweller didn’t represent when it was first released

The combination of stainless steel, 18k white gold, and blue is clearly a winning formula for the Rolex Sky-Dweller. The demand for the watch shows no signs of slowing down and in just a few short years since its release, the blue Sky-Dweller 326934 has become a true collector’s item and one of the most desirable modern Rolex watches in the world.
