BRACELETS: Jubilee Bracelet: The supple five-piece links on dressy watches and some sport watches, such as the GMT-Master II. It was originally designed for the Datejust in 1945.

Oyster Bracelet: The larger, flat, three-piece links make for a simpler, sportier look.

President Bracelet: The President uses semi-circular three-piece links, originally created in 1956 for the Day- Date. It is always 18k yellow, white, or Everose gold or 950 platinum. Pearlmaster Bracelet: The refined five-piece links make the Pearlmaster Rolex’s most elegant bracelet, found only with a crownlock clasp. Oysterflex Bracelet: Made of a very soft, flexible elastomer with an internal cushion system that makes it extremely well fitting and comfortable. The bracelet is fitted over a metal blade made of a titanium and nickel alloy, achieving the strength of metal and the comfort of rubber.
