The Rolex Calibre 2135-668 Setting Lever (Ref. No. 2135-668) is a genuine OEM component manufactured in Switzerland for the iconic Rolex Calibre 2135 automatic movement, which served as the workhorse for ladies‘ and midsize Oyster Perpetual Date models from 1983 to 1999. As a critical element of the keyless works system, this precision-engineered setting lever (located horizontally just above the release button on the mainplate) transmits axial motion from the winding stem to the sliding pinion and yoke mechanisms, enabling the selection of winding, time-setting, and quickset date adjustment positions via the crown.
This exact-match drop-in replacement part is essential for professional watchmakers restoring worn, damaged, or missing original components, preserving the legendary reliability and serviceability of the Calibre 2135.
Genuine OEM manufacturing – Authentic Rolex part crafted in Switzerland to original factory tolerances, ensuring perfect fit, function, and long-term reliability
Keyless works precision – Forms an integral part of the winding and setting mechanism, translating crown position changes into distinct operational modes (winding, hand-setting, and quickset date adjustment)
Quickset date compatibility – Coordinates with the setting lever jumper (No. 2135-230) to enable the independent quickset date correction function, a major upgrade over older calibers that required time advancement through 24-hour cycles
Compact movement integration – Engineered specifically for the compact 20 mm diameter Calibre 2135, providing the reliable keyless works operation that contributed to the movement’s industry-leading COSC pass rate
Drop-in replacement fit – Engineered as an exact-match substitution for worn, damaged, or lost original components without modification or additional adjustment
