Rolex Day Date 40

The 2023 Rolex Day-Date 40 (reference 228235) with an olive green dial is a distinguished timepiece that epitomizes Rolex’s commitment to luxury and precision. Crafted from 18 ct Everose gold, Rolex’s proprietary rose gold alloy, this watch features a 40mm case and a signature fluted bezel, adding a touch of elegance and heritage to its design.

The standout feature of this model is its sunburst olive green dial, which is achieved through a meticulous process involving Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) and electroplating. This technique not only enhances the dial’s depth and richness but also ensures a durable and scratch-resistant surface. The dial is complemented by Roman hour markers and a date display at 12 o’clock, maintaining the Day-Date’s iconic functionality.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Caliber 3255, an automatic movement that boasts a 70-hour power reserve and is chronometer-certified, ensuring exceptional precision. The movement also features Rolex’s innovative Chronergy escapement and Paraflex shock absorbers, enhancing its reliability and resistance to shocks and magnetic fields.

The Day-Date 40 is equipped with the President bracelet, a three-piece link design exclusive to Rolex’s Day-Date models. Made from the same Everose gold, the bracelet offers both comfort and durability, secured with a concealed folding Crownclasp. With a water resistance of 100 meters, this timepiece is suitable for daily wear and various activities.

Introduced in 2016 to mark the 60th anniversary of the Day-Date collection, the olive green dial has become a symbol of exclusivity and sophistication. As of 2023, this model continues to be a sought-after choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
