Footnote
Released at Baselworld in 2012, the SkyDweller was the first new innovation released by Rolex in over 20 years and considered the most complicated movement made by the famous Swiss luxury manufacturer. The 12 outer apertures allow for a red indicator to be displayed showing the relevant month, combined with the date this allows the wearer to use the watch as an annual calendar that only needs to adjusted each leap-year. In addition, the central rotating 24 hour scale displays ‘home time’ with date and hands being set to local time when travelling.
