Rolex watches<\/a> are true masterpieces in disguise. Here is what the inside of your typical Rolex movement looks like.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex
Rolex movements haven’t changed much over the years<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a point of reference, Rolex\u2019s 31xx series of movements was first introduced in 1988, and is still being fitted to certain watches that are manufactured today, more than thirty years later. While the 31xx series has seen a couple minor updates and changes throughout the years, such as the addition of Rolex\u2019s blue <\/span>Parachrom<\/span><\/i> hairspring, the 31xx series has remained<\/a> largely unchanged since its initial introduction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"rolex
The Rolex 3255 caliber movement is one of the newest from Rolex<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now, more than three decades later, Rolex is beginning to implement a new generation of in-house movements \u2013 the unsurprisingly named, 32xx series. First announced at <\/span>Baselworld<\/span> 2015, the 32xx series made its debut in the form of the Caliber 3255, which was fitted to the re-designed version of the <\/span>Day-Date<\/span>. Now, three years later, the 32xx series has expanded to include three variations: the Caliber 3235 (time and date), <\/span>the Caliber 3255 movement<\/span> (time, day, and date), and the Caliber 3285 (time, date, and secondary time zone). Completely re-designed from the ground-up, the new 32xx series boasts a number of increased performance metrics in addition to precision standards that are twice as exacting as those for traditional certified chronometers.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the heart of Rolex\u2019s new 32xx series of movements is their new <\/span>Chronergy<\/span><\/i> escapement<\/span>, which optimizes the design of the traditional Swiss lever escapement to increase overall efficiency by 15%. Additionally, the escape wheel and pallet fork on the new, <\/span>Chronergy<\/span><\/i> escapement are craft from nickel-phosphorus, which allows them to be insensitive to potentially disruptive, magnetic forces.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
The Parachrom hairspring<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While it is not brand-new technology unique to this new generation of movements, Rolex\u2019s proprietary blue <\/span>Parachrom<\/span><\/i> hairspring is still used on the 32xx series. Manufactured from a proprietary alloy of niobium and zirconium, <\/span>Parachrom<\/span><\/i> is more resistant to magnetic fields, temperature variations, and shocks than traditional hairspring materials. Additionally, protecting the movement are Rolex\u2019s highly efficient <\/span>Paraflex<\/span><\/i> shock absorbers, which Rolex claims increase the shock resistance of the movement by up to 50%.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Chronergy<\/span><\/i> escapement is paired with re-designed, highly efficient gear train, and a high capacity mainspring barrel, to achieve the longer, 70-hour power reserve of the 32xx generation. Despite having a significantly larger capacity, the external dimensions of the new mainspring barrel were not made any larger. Rolex achieved this feat by reducing the thickness of the walls of the barrel by roughly 50%, without compromising the overall reliability of the component. Lastly, to improve self-winding capabilities and long-term reliability, the newly re-designed, monobloc oscillation weight is now mounted to the movement with a ball bearing, which increases both winding efficiency and general shock resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Rolex
The Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 features the calibre 3285 movement<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Protected by 14 patents, and comprised of more than 90% new components, the 32xx series is poised to be the next generation of Rolex movements, and will likely continue to proliferate throughout the various watches in the Rolex lineup. <\/span>The venerable 31xx series<\/span> of movements has proven to be remarkably accurate and reliable over the course of its multi-decade production run, and if the 32xx series is equally as reliable as its predecessor and delivers on its promised performance metrics, then the new 32xx series<\/a> of Rolex movements will be a significant upgrade over the outgoing generation. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
