This is a description of a popular "Rolex Oyster Royalite" watch with a "Majestic Dial" that was manufactured in the early 1940s. The dial has a matte white base with a mirrored circle and dots on top, as well as night luminous indexes and red markings for 24-hour time. The design of the dial is unique to Rolex watches of this era and is characterized by a symmetrical design in all directions, which is specific to center seconds watches. The watch also features a weighty Oyster case, which gives it a condensed and impressive appearance. The watch is equipped with the Cal.10-1/2 movement, which was used in many hand-wound models. Although not original, an expansion straight bracelet (with a wrist circumference size of up to 17.5cm) from a later period is included, allowing one to fully enjoy the vintage style of the watch.
