Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day Date 40: new for 2022

Among the references presented by Rolex On the occasion of the recent Watches & Wonders 2022, in addition to the unexpected version of the Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II, what I appreciated most is the Oyster Perpetual Day Date 40 in 950 platinum which sports a first for Rolex, a fluted bezel made of 950 platinum. Several years of research were required to adapt the knurling guillochage process to the noblest of metals. Not everyone knows that the Oyster's fluted bezel originally had a very specific function: screwed to the case, it helped to ensure the water resistance of the watch. fake rolex

The knurling was the exact reproduction of that of the caseback which, for the same reasons, was also screwed to the case. Over time, the knurling has gone from being a simple aesthetic and functional element to a hallmark of the Maison of the crown. Before going into the specifics of this new model, let's remember that the Day Date, nicknamed "the Presidents' watch", was presented for the first time in 1956 and was the first waterproof automatic wrist chronometer to indicate the date and day of the week in letters and in full inside a semicircle window at 12 o'clock. The watches of the Day Date range are made exclusively of precious metal: yellow, white, 18 ct Everose gold and 950 platinum.best replica watches

The Oyster case of the new Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day Date, available in 40mm and 36mm diameter, is guaranteed water resistant to a depth of 100 meters. The middle case is carved from a solid block of 950 platinum. The Twinlock winding crown, equipped with a double waterproofing system, is firmly screwed to the case. The dial, in a refined ice blue color, characteristic hue of Rolex watches in 950 platinum, features indexes, threaded and faceted Roman numerals in 18 ct white gold, blue seconds hand and date window in a window at 3 o'clock whose reading is facilitated thanks to the Cyclops magnifying glass. Protecting the display is a scratch-resistant and anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The new Day Date beats to the rhythm of the caliber 3255, the in-house automatic movement with a Perpetual rotor presented in this model at its launch in 2015. This in-house caliber, with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, integrates, among other things, , an optimized version of the blue Parachrom hairspring produced by Rolex in a paramagnetic alloy, a patented Chronergy escapement in nickel-phosphorus and insensitive to magnetic fields, a high-performance Paraflex shockproof device developed by Rolex and patented and a Rolex end curve that ensures regularity of gear in each position. Like all Rolex watches, this exclusive model also boasts the Superlative Chronometer certification redefined by Rolex in 2015. The case back with thin grooves is screwed down. Another feature of this Rolex 2022 model is the three-row President bracelet, designed and created specifically for the Oyster Perpetual Day Date unveiled in 1956. The bracelet, fitted with an invisible Crownclasp with folding clasp, sees inside its mesh of the ceramic inserts that improve the fluidity on the wrist and the duration in time.
