The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness using specific Rolex tools. Over time the fluting became an aesthetic element a genuine Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction always in gold.
