Rolex Day Date 40 watch
Yet another great pick among other recently launched Rolex watches is this new Day-Date 40 crafted in 950 platinum with an ice-blue dial.
The Day-Date was first launched in 1956 and was the first calendar wristwatch that also spelt out the entire day of the week, apart from the date, in an arc-shaped window at 12 O’Clock.
Platinum watch
What makes this version stand out is the fluted bezel in Platinum that’s the first ever for Rolex.
Producing perfectly-shaped and luminous fluting for this metal is an aesthetic and technical feat for the brand that involved years of research and expertise.
Adding distinctiveness to the piece is the blue seconds hand and faceted Roman numerals and hour markers made in 18 carat white gold.
Waterproof watch
While the 40 millimetre Oyster case is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 metres, its middle is crafted from a solid block of 950 platinum and the scratch-proof sapphire crystal has the statement Cyclops Lens at 3 O’Clock.
The Day-Date is also referred to as the presidents’ watch due to its emblematic President bracelet and eminent figures including John F.
Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, and Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president, wearing it.
The bracelet on the new version includes a sophisticated concealed folding Crownclasp and ceramic inserts inside the links to boost its longevity and flexibility.
It is equipped with calibre 3255, first unveiled on a model in 2015. Incorporating patented Chronergy escapement, it ensures efficiency, dependability and a power reserve of up to 70 hours.
