Rolex released a "Celebrating Rolex Watchmaking in 2023" video earlier this week, and while the 30-second video briefly features the Parachrom hairspring, it’s leaving out the brand’s newest hairspring innovation which made an appearance for the first time in a men's watch in 2023: the Syloxi hairspring.
Rolex has been slowly and cautiously introducing the Syloxi hairspring for years in women's watches, like the Ladies Datejust, OP 31 and Yacht-Master 37. The brand says the silicon-made hairspring provides great stability during temperature variations and is also resistant to strong magnetic fields and shocks.
“Although it was designed for our small and medium-diameter models and our thinnest watches... [it] has all the makings of a giant,” Rolex said. The Syloxi could be the future in Rolex men’s watches and a new reason for its clients to upgrade.
