Bryson DeChambeau claimed one of golf's most prestigious titles at the US Open, and while the trophy did the talking on the course, sharp-eyed watch spotters caught something notable on his wrist during the celebrations: a stainless steel Rolex Sky-Dweller with a sunburst blue dial, reference 326934.

The Sky-Dweller ref. 326934 is among the most technically ambitious references in the current Rolex catalogue. Powered by the proprietary Calibre 9001 — a 678-component movement developed entirely in-house — it offers an annual calendar that requires adjustment only once per year, a dual time zone function displayed via a discrete off-centre 24-hour disc, and the patented Saros annual calendar system, which uses the ring command bezel to switch intuitively between the three setting modes. Running at 28,800 vph with a 72-hour power reserve, Cal. 9001 represents a level of complication that Rolex rarely broadcasts loudly but quietly perfects. The stainless steel 42mm Oyster case on ref. 326934, paired with that rich blue sunburst dial, gives the watch a versatile, sportier character compared to the precious metal Sky-Dweller variants.

From a collector standpoint, the stainless steel Sky-Dweller occupies an interesting position. Rolex originally introduced the Sky-Dweller in 2012 exclusively in precious metals, making the Oystersteel variant — which arrived later — immediately desirable to collectors who wanted the complication without the ostentation. Reference 326934 consistently holds strong on the secondary market, frequently trading above retail, a reflection of both restricted supply and genuine demand for its mechanical substance.

DeChambeau's affinity for data, physics, and engineering is well-documented — he famously approaches the game more like a scientist than an athlete. Wearing a watch built around one of Rolex's most complex proprietary movements at the moment of a major championship victory feels less like coincidence and more like a considered choice consistent with his personality.

At UK list price the Sky-Dweller ref. 326934 sits at approximately £11,850, translating to roughly $14,900 USD at official retail. On the grey market, demand for Oystersteel Sky-Dweller references continues to push prices noticeably above that figure, underlining the enduring appeal of this understated but technically rich Rolex.
