About this watch
The Rolex Day-Date 36 is a masterpiece of horological engineering, featuring a stunning black diamond dial set against a gleaming white gold case. This watch embodies the brand's reputation for excellence and sophistication, with a rich heritage and a knack for innovation. The round case measures 36.00 mm in diameter, perfectly proportioned for both men and women. The black diamond dial is an absolute stunner, exuding an air of mystery and elegance. Coupled with gem-set indexes, it reflects light in a way that’s simply mesmerizing. At the core of the Day-Date 36 is the Rolex caliber 3155, a self-winding mechanical movement that is a testament to Rolex's commitment to precision. Introduced in 1988, this movement has become a staple in several Rolex models. The watch features a dual calendar display, with the day of the week prominently displayed in a window at 12 o'clock and the date shown at 3 o'clock. This mechanism is incredibly well-engineered, allowing for quick adjustments and seamless transitions. With a power reserve of 48 hours, you can trust that this watch will keep ticking even when you take it off for a day or two. The Day-Date 36 has a water resistance rating of 100 meters (330 feet), making it suitable for swimming and other water activities without worrying about damaging it. Made from white gold, this watch not only looks stunning but is also highly durable, with a well-balanced weight that feels substantial without being cumbersome.
