April 3, 2021Clasp is one of the important part in watch, without it the watch is unwearable. As for Rolex, they supervise in every aspect of design and give full attention to the clasp to make sure the watch is exceed the reliability, strength, and protection, as well as aesthetic value.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROLEX CLASP
- OYSTERLOCK CLASP
- GLIDELOCK CLASP
- ROLEX BUCKLE
- OYSTERCLASP
- HIDDEN CROWNCLASP
I. OYSTERLOCK CLASP
The Oysterlock clasp is developed and used especially for Professional watches. The Oysterlock clasp has a locking mechanism that locks the bracelet into place when the clasp is closed. This prevents accidental opening and is crucial for a sports watch in particular.
The Oysterlock clasp expert in blending sophisticated engineering, smooth lines, and security. It’s was created from 904L steel with increased chromium content. Don’t worry about to use it in the water because chromium makes the clasp especially corrosion-resistant.
II. GLIDELOCK CLASP
The Rolex Glidelock clasp looks similar to the Oysterlock, the difference is the Glidelock clasp is much longer. There is extension system within the clasp. With that, it will allow the divers to expand the band by approximately 20mm in precise 2mm increments. As you know, the bracelet of Sea-Dweller and Deepsea models can be adjusted by a further 26mm by using the Fliplock extension links. Basically the Rolex Glidelock clasp is the most advanced and impresive used for the brand’s professional dive watches.
III. ROLEX BUCKLE
This is the simplest clasp. The Rolex buckle as per shown in the picture above come on leather straps, affixed to wrists by solid 18k gold pin and tang buckles (or ardillon, if you prefer). The classic buckles match up with a standard belt looks very sweet and elegant.
IV. OYSTERCLASP
The Oysterclasp can be found on watches from Rolex’s Classic series, such as the Datejust and Oyster Perpetual models, the Oysterclasp is lack of additional fold-over security lock if you want to compared with the Oysterlock clasp. Basically it’s perfect for everyday Rolex’s timepiece and not suitable for extreme activities like the Professional series watches. The Oysterclasp is Rolex’s standard represents the perfect fusion of reliability, regality, and innovative design.
V. HIDDEN CROWNCLASP
The Rolex Hidden Crownclasp is my favourite so far, and perhaps you too! the most elegant from other Rolex clasps. The design is formulated to allow a bracelet to appear as if an unbroken chain of steel and/or gold wrapped around the wearer’s wrist. When closed, the Rolex Hidden Clasp is only locatable by the coronet logo that sits proudly at the point of fastening. The clasp can be found on President, Pealrmaster, and Jubilee bracelets. The looks is more to trending and elegant.
