Rolex has added another masterpiece this year, injecting new vitality into its Day-Date series. The Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 launched this year showcases unparalleled craftsmanship aesthetics with its exquisite surface design. The watch is carefully forged with 18K white gold and paired with a pearlescent white mother-of-pearl dial, opening a new chapter for Day-Date 40.
The natural beauty of mother-of-pearl
This natural material, mother-of-pearl, comes from the precious part of the pearl oyster's shell. Its unique texture is like layered tiny clouds, exuding a deep and three-dimensional visual effect. Each piece of mother-of-pearl is carefully selected to ensure that it displays harmonious and elegant patterns and charming iridescence, making people feel as if they are in the exquisite art of nature. In addition, the optimized design of the surface angle allows light to travel on it, giving the watch an unparalleled brilliance. The watch is embellished with 10 square diamond hour markers. The dazzling diamonds shine even more brightly against the backdrop of mother-of-pearl, as if telling every precious moment and extraordinary story.
Both the Day-Date 40 and Day-Date 36 are equipped with the 3255 movement developed by Rolex, which was launched in 2015 and fully reflects the brand's rigorous pursuit of craftsmanship. The movement is equipped with a Perpetual automatic winding system, which continuously winds the movement through the Perpetual rotor. The power reserve is about 70 hours, making every wear full of the flow of time and the continuation of life.
Rolex’s ingenuity
The Day-Date 40 has a 40mm Oyster case, and the middle case is carefully cast from a solid piece of 18K white gold. It is waterproof to a depth of 100 meters, providing a solid and elegant protection for the movement. Rolex watchmakers use special tools exclusive to the brand to tightly screw down the finely grooved bottom cover to ensure the sealing of the case, which means that only they can touch the heart that represents the passage of time. The mirror is made of anti-reflective blue crystal, which is not only scratch-resistant, but also reflects elegant brilliance at every moment.
The watch is also paired with an elegant 18K white gold President-type strap, which is equipped with a concealed folding crown buckle. The design is exquisite and elegant, as if whispering the secret of time. The embedded ceramic components have been patented by Rolex to increase the flexibility and durability of the strap. Whether it is worn daily or on special occasions, it can comfortably wrap around the wrist, allowing the wearer to feel the luxurious experience brought by exquisite craftsmanship at every moment.
