Rolex Datejust 36 Everose Gold meets Diamonds on Mother of pearl dial

When the first Rolex Datejust was introduced in 1945 - the year of the brand's 40th anniversary, it made history as the first automatic waterproof certified chronometer with a date on the dial. The "Cyclops" was added in 1955 to magnify the date display by two and a half times, thus making the indication more legible and clear, and this feature became one of the most recognizable Rolex hallmarks of all time. In 2018, Rolex introduced the new generation Rolex Datejust 36. This line of watches offers the features of the original and iconic Rolex Datejust in a more modern design and of course includes some innovations. One of the most significant differences is the movement - the Datejust 36 has the honor of carrying the new caliber 3235, which has an increased power reserve of 70 hours, a seriously improved automatic winding system where the rotor is now on a ball bearing, and its efficiency is increased by 15%. As for the lubrication, the reversing wheels, as one of the problematic areas in terms of friction, are Teflon-coated! The new 3235 has 14 integrated patents and more than 90% new components, and it is also twice as precise as the official COSC chronometer. The other is the use of the Everose Rolesor alloy – this is how the brand designates its watches in which the patented rose gold alloy is used, which was first used only on the Daytona. For good reason, the Datejust is the brand's most popular and recognizable model after the iconic Submariner – and the Datejust 36 allows this popularity to be presented in a contemporary interpretation. This particular watch is in the superb and hard-to-find combination – a mother-of-pearl dial with 10 high-quality diamonds for markers, rose gold, and a Jubilee bracelet. Indeed, the detail of this timepiece (as with all modern Rolexes we have had the opportunity to examine) is impressive. A closer look reveals the jewel-like craftsmanship, and the overall impression is very aristocratic. Starting with the incredible dial, we move on to the classic sapphire with the "Cyclops" – in this case, the brand's highest grade of sapphire is used, which has allowed the overall height of the watch to be reduced compared to its predecessors. Of course, special attention must be paid to the case and bezel – an incredible combination of brushed highest-grade 904L steel with faceted polished edges and details in places (as you know, Rolex pays special attention to the steel used and for this purpose has its own foundries for the production of all its alloys). The bezel is the brand's characteristic "fluted" style, which gives an incredible radiance and has nothing in common with the other Datejust with the "smooth bezel" – they are simply different watches – this one has a killer presence on your wrist, and the fact that the bezel is made of 18-carat gold further reinforces the overall impression! In this particular case, Rolex's new alloy is used – Everose – this is the name given to the brand's rose gold. And of course the bracelet, the band, the chain, or whatever you call it – as can be expected from a Rolex, it is truly good... In this case, it is the new bracelet with a solid 18-carat gold center link and a solid clasp, crafted from a single block of steel (and not from bent sheet metal, as is the case with most brands) – the only thing it lacks (but only in my opinion) is the Sub's GlideLock clasp, but here the so-called EasyLink is fitted, which allows for micro-adjustment with an additional 5 mm - 20mm at the lugs, the specific bracelet has 10 links, and will fit a wrist up to 18 cm.
