Perpetual 1908
今年的話題作，全新Perpetual 1908款式現提供950鉑金款式，搭配冰藍色錶面，這個冰藍面可是勞力士的另一熱賣指標，當然一枚冰藍面的Daytona可以炒到幾十萬的高價，誇張但卻是事實。冰藍色是勞力士專為950鉑金腕錶設計的色彩。錶面飾有立體的穀粒紋理，流轉着靈動而迷人的光澤，使佩戴者在舉手投足間散發出耀眼的光芒。Perpetual 1908腕錶搭載的是2023年推出的7140型恒動擺陀雙向自動上鍊，鏤空自動陀以18K黃金材質打造，配以Chronergy擒縱系統（專利Syloxi矽游絲），動力儲存為66小時。
Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea
這枚「深海霸王」外號的Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea（蠔式恒動勞力士深潛型）可謂「真金不怕洪爐火」，18K黃金深海潛水腕錶真的不是人人戴得起，說的不單是價值，還有腕錶的重量，要有史泰龍般手腕才可作考慮吧。腕錶防水深度達3,900米（12,800呎），超出人類水肺潛水的深度。錶面以藍色裝飾，創新組合黃金與陶瓷及RLX鈦金屬部件，充分展現勞力士在材質與色彩方面的專業技術。壓力環由藍色陶瓷製成，這項創新技術開創了陶瓷與錶殼組合的新方式。Cerachrom陶質字圈飾有圓紋磨砂飾面，是Ringlock系統錶殼結構的一部分。
Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II
寫勞力士，總不能不寫品牌的GMT腕錶吧？今年備受關注的Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II（蠔式恒動格林威治型II）蠔式鋼款首次配備灰黑雙色Cerachrom陶質字圈。此雙色字圈上年亮相（但不是鋼款），其刻度以PVD（Physical Vapour Deposition，物理氣相沉積工藝）鍍膜技術鍍上鉑金。當中灰黑雙色相映成輝，令人聯想起晝夜交替。問世之初，GMT-Master II僅呈獻不銹鋼款式， 此次新作則採用蠔式鋼，盡展該錶款的個性風範。
