Rolex Oyster 3116 Description
A manually-wound Oyster from the early 1940s, significant for its association with the premium “Viceroy” line. This reference represents a high-grade, chronometer-certified watch in the durable, waterproof Oyster case, offered as a more traditional alternative to the new automatic “Bubblebacks.” Its importance lies in showcasing Rolex’s commitment to certified precision and catering to a market segment that valued slimness and accuracy over the convenience of self-winding, thereby broadening the appeal of the robust Oyster concept.
