1926 Rolex Oyster

Back in 1926, Rolex did something wild—it created the first waterproof wristwatch, the Oyster, and honestly, it kind of changed everything. That little screw-down crown? Game-changer. Fast-forward a few decades, and watches from that era, especially ones with those warm, faded tropical dials, are now total icons. At Tropical Watch, we're all about sourcing those rare vintage pieces, the ones that carry stories—patina and all—with just the right kind of charm.
