About the Rolex 1908

Rolex 1908 — A Modern Classic With Historic Roots

The Rolex 1908 marks one of the most significant new introductions in Rolex’s dress watch lineup in years — a timepiece that bridges the brand’s rich heritage with contemporary watchmaking excellence. Named to honor the year Hans Wilsdorf registered the Rolex name and laid the foundation for what would become one of the world’s most iconic luxury watchmakers, the 1908 evokes both tradition and refinement in every detail.

Unlike Rolex’s well-known sport watches, the 1908 represents the brand’s elegant side: a dress watch that combines classic proportions with modern craftsmanship. Its 39 mm case offers a perfectly balanced wrist presence, while a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock adds a touch of vintage character that echoes early perpetual Rolex designs. Rolex

One of the most striking aspects of the 1908 is its dial design — featuring bold Arabic numerals at 3, 9, and 12, faceted hour markers, and finely finished hands that give it both clarity and personality. Available in refined tones like intense white, deep black, or ice blue with a refined guilloché “rice-grain” motif, the dial elevates the watch’s understated style into something unmistakably luxurious.

The 1908 isn’t just beautiful — it also showcases Rolex’s commitment to technical excellence. At its heart is the Calibre 7140, a modern automatic movement with a generous power reserve, chronometer-level precision, and a transparent caseback that lets you admire the beautifully finished oscillating weight and bridges. This exhibition back is rare for Rolex and adds a contemporary twist to traditional watchmaking. Rolex

Rolex offers the 1908 in precious metals such as 18 ct yellow gold, white gold, and 950 platinum, each chosen to underscore the model’s refined character. A unique Settimo bracelet with seven finely articulated links — or a classic alligator leather strap with a dual folding clasp — provides both comfort and elegance. Grressive+1

Since its launch, the Rolex 1908 has quickly become a favorite for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a watch that honors Rolex’s history while delivering a fresh interpretation of classic design. With its blend of heritage, precision, and everyday wearability, the 1908 sets a new standard for what a modern Rolex dress watch can be.
