Rolex - Oyster ivory - 2280 - Unisex - 1900-1949

-> B. HISTORY of the Model: oyster royal models small seconds The Oyster Royal was introduced in 1933 and was recognisable as one of the earliest wristwatches to feature a centrally pivoted second hand, as opposed to the small subsidiary seconds register that was the norm. Rolex marketed the Royal as being ideally suited for those in the medical profession, on the basis that a large second hand would be far easier to consult when timing a patient’s heartbeat. Strangely, as centre seconds became more common, the Oyster Royal would be offered in both centre and sub-seconds formats, and the Oyster Royal model became more associated with the British Military services. therefore models oyster l can be found with centre seconds and small seconds. lug to lug is close to 37mm, so fits great on the wrist.
