The lugs. Carved into the same material as the middle case of which they are the natural extension, they form the crucial bridge linking the bracelet and the watch. Their shape is meticulously designed to become part of the identity of each model. Their polished or satin finish highlights the curves they draw. In a seemingly small in-between space, these lugs, with their confident aesthetics but discreet presence, do more than unite parts – they reveal the unique character of each watch. Shown here is the Explorer 40 in Oystersteel, with a black dial and Oyster bracelet. #Rolex #Watchmaking
