Introduction to Rolex Bracelet Types

Rolex bracelets, like the watches they adorn, are meticulously designed to achieve a perfect balance of aesthetics, comfort, and functionality. Over the years, the brand has developed a variety of bracelet designs. Each design is optimized for specific watch models and uses, with some designed for everyday wear and others tailored to specific collections to highlight the unique character of each model.
Main Rolex Bracelet Types
Rolex Main Bracelets(Oyster vs Jubilee vs President vs Oysterflex)
Oyster
The Oyster bracelet is Rolex's most well-known and versatile design. Featuring a three-piece solid link structure, it combines the durability required for sports watches with a refined design suitable for everyday wear. Its simple, intuitive design has become a classic in numerous models, including the Submariner, Explorer, Datejust, and Daytona. Collectors highly praise its balance of durability and understated style.
Jubilee
First introduced in 1945 for the Datejust model, the Jubilee bracelet features a five-piece link structure, offering exceptional flexibility and comfort. Compared to the Oyster bracelet, its smaller link design hugs the wrist more closely, creating a more formal visual effect. While traditionally associated with the Datejust, some GMT-Master II models also use this bracelet, adding elegance without compromising practicality.
President
The President bracelet, featuring a semi-circular three-link structure, is exclusive to the Datejust and certain ladies' Datejust models. Crafted exclusively from precious metals (gold or platinum), it seamlessly blends refined proportions with a distinctive design.
Oysterflex
The Oysterflex Strap combines the flexibility of an elastic strap with the strength of a metal core. It is slip-resistant and waterproof, making it particularly comfortable for sports and wet environments. This strap has a sporty design and is popular with athletes, including tennis player Carlos Alcaraz. It is used in models such as the Yacht-Master, Daytona, and Sky-Dweller. In some specifications, it is combined with a precious metal case and meteorite dial to create a striking contrast.

Rolex Other Bracelets(Flat Jubilee vs Leather vs Settimo)
Flat Jubilee
The flat Jubilee strap, released in 2025, was designed exclusively for the new Rolex Land Dweller watch. While maintaining the Jubilee strap's five-piece structure, the surface of the links is flatter, achieving a sharper, more modern design while retaining flexibility.
Crocodile Leather
Exclusive to the Perpetual 1908 Dress Watch series, available in black and brown. Its texture and luster harmonize with the refined design of the 1908 series, offering a classic option.
Settimo
Also exclusive to the Perpetual 1908 series, the Settimo, set to launch in 2025, features a 7-piece solid link design. While more intricate and complex than the Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, it maintains Rolex's iconic durability while adding elegance.
