Louis Erard Collaborates with GoS on the Latest Edition of Le Régulateur

In December 2021, Louis Erard and GoS Watches were brought together by Manuel Emch, the visionary behind Louis Erard's strategic revival and creative transformation. He found a kindred spirit in Patrik Sjögren, watchmaker and founder of the Swedish atelier GoS, renowned for its mastery of Damascus steel. 

Together, they envisioned a timepiece that would seamlessly blend the essence of both Maisons: the technical precision and aesthetic refinement of the Swiss Jura, married to the artistry of a Swedish forge, where Damascus steel is meticulously crafted into mesmerizing patterns through an almost alchemical process.

Introducing Rolex Adds New Pastel Colors to the Oyster Perpetual Collection

Three colors adorn the brand’s classic release

At Watches & Wonders 2025, Rolex unveiled an update to its beloved Oyster Perpetual collection, introducing new pastel-colored dials. The vibrant hues that characterized the previous lineup, including the Celebration dial, have been discontinued, making way for new matte lacquer dials in lavender, beige, and pistachio.

The Oyster Perpetual collection remains available in five sizes, 28mm, 31mm, 34mm, 36mm, and 41mm, all crafted from Oystersteel (904L stainless steel). As before, the models feature sapphire crystals, along with screw-down crowns and casebacks to ensure 100 meters of water resistance.

The most notable update applies to the 41mm model, which now boasts a more refined case design with improved proportions. Additionally, it features a slimmer clasp and a slightly larger winding crown. These subtle refinements bring the 41mm variant visually closer to the classic 36mm model in terms of balance and elegance.

The dials, as mentioned, come in three new matte lacquer hues, Lavender, Beige, and Pistachio, replacing the previous bold color palette. Mechanically, the collection remains unchanged, featuring Rolex’s reliable automatic movements. The 28mm, 31mm, and 34mm models are powered by Caliber 2232, which delivers a 55-hour power reserve, while the 36mm and 41mm models use Caliber 3230, extending the power reserve to 70 hours. Both movements operate at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and hold Superlative Chronometer certification, ensuring exceptional accuracy within -2/+2 seconds per day.

Each model pairs with Rolex’s brushed Oyster bracelets in Oystersteel, maintaining a sporty yet understated look. The 41mm model also benefits from a slimmer clasp for a more refined fit, while the Easylink extension system allows for a quick 5mm adjustment without tools.

The 28mm model (Ref. 276200) is priced at $5,650 (≈ AED 20,800), the 31mm (Ref. 277200) at $5,800 (≈ AED 21,500), and the 34mm (Ref. 124200) at $5,900 (≈ AED 21,700). The 36mm model (Ref. 126000) is priced at $6,200 (≈ AED 22,800), while the 41mm (Ref. 134300) comes in at $6,500 (≈ AED 23,900).
