Oyster Perpetual 31 Stainless Steel / Turquoise Celebration

In Context

At 31 mm it is small by current standards, in the range most wristwatches occupied before cases began growing through the 1990s. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 55 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

277200-0010 is one of 15 executions of the 277200 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a multi-color gloss dial and a stainless steel case. Introduced in 2023.

The 2232 is the no-date version of the Rolex 2236, introduced in 2020 for the Oyster Perpetual 28, 31 and 34. It powers 35 watches in this library, all steel. It is the [2236](/calibers/rolex-2236) without its calendar: a 20 mm automatic with the silicon Syloxi hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers, 31 jewels, a 55-hour reserve and a beat of 28,800 vph, tested after casing to the Superlative Chronometer standard of two seconds a day. The [2236 piece](/blog/the-rolex-2236-the-most-common-movement-in-this-library) explains the family and why its silicon spring reached the small calibers first. In the library it powers 15 references of the [Oyster Perpetual 31](/brands/rolex/oyster-perpetual-31), 10 of the [Oyster Perpetual 34](/brands/rolex/oyster-perpetual-34) and 10 of the [Oyster Perpetual 28](/brands/rolex/oyster-perpetual-28), the 2020 generation with its coloured dials. Every one is steel. The [2231](/calibers/rolex-2231) is the 48-hour no-date movement it replaced, and the [3230](/calibers/rolex-3230) its counterpart in the 36 mm and 41 mm Oyster Perpetuals.

34 other watches in the library run the Rolex 2232.
