Rolex Day-Date Watches

The Rolex Day date watch was first made in the year 1956, and since then, it has been an iconic peace in the watchmaking industry and stands out to be a mega-hit even in the modern generation. This watch is available in two different types, one of which is 18-carat gold and the other is platinum. This is what happened to be the very first watch in the history of watchmaking to display the date and the day of the week in full on the dial. That is how it has got its name which happens to be Rolex Day date.

There are multiple different models under this collection, all of which have different looks but are primarily similar in features. This particular watch comes with the President bracelet, which was created specifically for this watch and became world-famous henceforth. The bracelet, which is also known as the Rolex Day date band is explicitly trendy and classy and typically adds to the charm of the watch wearer. Owning this watch is a sign of great prestige even in modern times, exactly as it used to be e back in those days. It is commonly believed that this is a watch for influential people and for people who can leave their own mark in the sands of time.

Some of the best watches from the Rolex Day-date collection.

The dial of the watch comes with the sunray finish, which happens to be a very dominant method of polishing in the watchmaking industry. This method is generally used to achieve perfect metallic colored dials, which usually come in shades of silver, grey, rhodium, among others. The watch also offers the very famous fluted bezel by Rolex, which in this case has a specific purpose for making the watch completely waterproof.

Rolex GMT-Master II 126710

Some think of Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 as the ‘demon’ to be vanquished, that their conquest of the horology world is like a fog that clouds our vision from our true potential. As if getting rid of Rolex would solve all of horology’s problems. I mean, they only do the same design every year, right? This particular view is one I have come across in discussion forums before and, to be honest, it’s quite depressing. People look at the coronet and think of it as nothing but a status symbol for folks who have no interest in “real horology”, that no true enthusiast would go near one of these things with a ten-foot barge pole. And yet, in a way, we always end up back at Rolex. Even the devout pro-any-other-brand-except-Rolex horology ‘geek’ will probably end up with one at some point, just to see what it’s like, and then end up loving it forever.
You see, Rolex watches have been almost explicitly designed for this purpose. They are designed to be aesthetically pleasing through proportional balance, and the brand maintains its aura of luxury, a luxury that is hard to come by. We’ve all made jokes at Rolex’ expense when it comes to their infamous waiting list, thinking about how much better we are for not sitting around waiting to get the chance to pay retail. Yet, this is precisely how classical luxury should work. If you want a Rolls Royce or a Bentley made to your specification you have to put your name on a list and eventually, someone at the factory will look at the order form with your name on it. It can take over a year for Rolls Royce to make a bespoke designed Phantom due to the complexity and the craftsmanship involved. This level of prestige, having to wait until the product is delivered to you, works for Rolex as well. Granted, it’s a different sort of wait. Rolex is probably not bespoke building a Submariner, but to the consumer, it’s the finished product that matters.
Interestingly, both Rolls Royce and Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 occupy their own individual positions in their respective markets, that’s down to how they’re marketed. Despite being owned by BMW and sharing parts with them, a Rolls Royce is still something extra-special and is advertised as such. It may not be as futuristic or wholesome as a Mercedes Maybach, for example, but there’s nothing else quite like a Rolls Royce, despite the few pitfalls it may have, the brand is at the point where its name and logo market themselves. It’s also become a term of endearment, a product that is the absolute zenith of design and fabrication is usually deemed the ‘Rolls Royce’ even by folks who have never sat in a Rolls Royce.
Despite Rolex having the highest production figures of the Swiss watch industry, it still has a level of class that’s hard to beat, and that’s down to the way the brand presents itself. Everybody knows what a Rolex is, no matter where you are in the world. Because everybody knows what it is, everybody knows it’s something special, made of high-quality materials and designed to last indefinitely. As with Rolls Royce, people know what a Rolex stands for immediately, even if they’ve never tried one for themselves. Believe it or not, that’s an incredibly hard thing to do and maintain, Rolex has been doing it practically since the Rolex name was conceived in 1908. That’s a long time to build up a brand reputation, and it’s undoubtedly paid off.
Earlier this year, Rolex unveiled the successor to it’s massively popular GMT-Master 2 reference 116710BLNR. That watch had been rumoured to be departing the Rolex lineup for at least two years, but during Baselworld 2019 it became real as its replacement was unveiled. The 126710BLNR, as you see here, built on the groundwork done by 2018’s 126710BLRO, nicknamed the ‘Pepsi’. It shares the same movement as the BLRO, the calibre 3285, and it shares the Jubilee bracelet as well. So, is the new ‘Batman’ worth the hype and the wait? I’ve had one on my wrist for a long-term review since May to find out.
The watch measures in at 40mm across but it wears like a 42mm or 43mm watch. The reason for this is down to the way the watch is designed. The markers and hands are large on the dial, and the ceramic bezel is wide, creating the illusion that the watch is larger than it really is. This means that if like me, you have large wrists that comfortably handle 45mm+ diameter watches, you won’t be disappointed by the Rolex. That said, if you have smaller wrists, you’ll find it accommodates them with just as much ease. The combination of brushing and polishing, along with the colour injected around the dial, makes the watch very attractive indeed from every angle. When I took the photos of the watch I noticed just how photogenic it is; there’s no wrong angle to take a picture from, which is uncommon.
Despite what people might imagine from the new BLNR, it’s mass is within a couple of grams of the old one. It measured in on our VSS (Very Scientific (Kitchen) Scales) at 143 grams. Even with the 116710BLNR’s chunky Oyster bracelet, the Jubilee still holds enough weight to be substantial without being overbearing. You can feel the quality of the work that’s gone into it. There are no sharp edges or corners on the Jubilee bracelet. The sleek taper of the bracelet, narrowing towards the clasp, and the combination of brushed and polished links makes it seem all the more luxurious. The way it shimmers and sparkles under light is something to behold as well. In a way, the Jubilee bracelet accentuates the watch even more so than the Oyster bracelet did. If you are concerned that the Jubilee is not as good as the Oyster, then you have nothing to fear.
The folding clasp features a security lock with the Rolex coronet on it, as well as brushed outers and a polished centre. If you remember old Rolex bracelets and clasps, specifically from the early noughties era, then you can probably remember how hollow and mediocre the stamped bracelets and clasps felt. This is nothing like that. The clasp is just as high-quality as the rest of the watch with solid milled components and a high polish inside. There’s also a small folding extension which provides the owner with an extra link. Rolex recommends the Jubilee bracelet should be worn flush to the wrist to prevent stretching over time, but if it gets warm and your wrist expands, then the extra link provides comfort.
From my experience, due to its daily use, the clasp area will probably receive the most scratches. As you can see in my photos, the polished centre on the clasp has attracted a few battle scars from a dip in a swimming pool back in summer. Some folks recommend a piece of clear sticky tape to protect it. I think it’s a little late now anyway. Also, on the inner arms of the folding clasp and around the areas where they make contact, you will naturally find scratches over time. There isn’t really a way to avoid this, except for not wearing it at all which defeats the purpose of it entirely in my opinion.
The dial of the watch is exceptionally legible, as it needs to be. Remember, this is still designed to be used by pilots today (it’s in the part of the catalogue that Rolex calls ‘Professional Watches’), just as it was in the 50s when the first GMT-Master was released. That means you have nice, big and clear hands and markers constructed of white gold and filled with Chromalight, Rolex’ proprietary luminescence. You can tell it’s Chromalight because Rolex watches using SuperLumiNova glow green whereas this one gives off a blue hue.

To aid in readibility of the GMT function, the GMT hand on the BLNR is painted blue and given a large arrow tip. Working in conjunction with the bi-directional bezel, you can use this GMT hand to calculate the time in up to three different time zones. Here’s how to do it:
Pictured above is the watch in its standard mode. It’s currently displaying one time zone (Greenwich Mean Time) in two different ways: 12 hour, as shown by the hours and minutes hands, and 24 hour, displayed by the blue arrow-tipped GMT hand. The time in the photo is 1:53 PM, or 13:53. Remember, the GMT hand performs one rotation in 24 hours and is aligned with the bezel, in its current position, it’s pointing to 1300 hours on the bezel (each round dot on the bezel represents the odd hour, as there isn’t space for numerals).
To set the GMT function, unscrew the crown and pull it out to position 2. This allows you to set the hour hand independently of the minutes and the GMT hand, note that the watch is still running to maintain accuracy. In the photo above, the hours have been set to the time in Los Angeles, USA, which is 8 hours behind GMT. Using the ‘Mercedes’ style hour hand, we can now see that the local time in L.A is 5:54 AM. But, if we use the 24-hour GMT hand, we can see that it’s 13:54 at home. So, as long as you know how many hours ahead or behind your second timezone is, you can always see the time in two timezones. Remember, the GMT hand is only replacing the hour hand, the minutes and seconds are still accurate unless you are in a timezone which is out by 30 minutes (such as New Delhi, India).
Sadly, your trip to sunny California has been disturbed by a call from the office back in Blighty. They’ve asked you to give a call to the office in Santiago, Chile, but you’re not sure if they’ll be open yet. You know that Santiago is 3 hours behind GMT, but you don’t want to go through the faff of unwinding the crown and resetting the hands. Luckily, you don’t have to, as this is where the bi-directional rotating bezel comes into play.

To check the time in Santiago, turn the bezel three clicks in a clockwise direction, as we have done in the photo. Now, we use the GMT, which has not moved, once again. Using the position of the GMT hand and the bezel, we can determine that the time in Santiago is 09:55, so the office will be open. As long as you can remember the home time while doing this, you can know three timezones simultaneously using the Rolex GMT-Master II 126710.
This time-zone hopping example hasn’t quite finished yet. The office in Santiago has said that it’s waiting for a confirmation letter to come from the Dubai branch, but they’re having trouble getting through to check and have asked you to make a call. You know that Dubai is 4 hours ahead of GMT. Once again, we’ll use the bi-directional 24-hour bezel on the GMT-Master 2 to check the time in Dubai.
To check the time in a time-zone that’s ahead of the home time, turn the bezel anticlockwise. As Dubai is 4 hours ahead, the bezel needs to be turned anticlockwise by 4 clicks. Using the position of the 24-hour hand relative to the bezel, we can see the time in Dubai 17:57, and the Dubai branch has likely shut. When you’re finished checking the time in Dubai, you can return the bezel to the standard position to display both home and local time simultaneously.

In all honesty, you’ll probably need to use the world clock app on your phone to check how many hours out the other timezones are, but I’d still use the GMT-Master 2’s party piece just for the sake of it. It might well be the most intelligently designed function ever fitted to a watch, and you can see why it would be particularly handy to Pan-Am staff, or any crew on board a plane.
Despite being type rated for the skies, the GMT-Master 2 is still water-resistant to 100m and features the Triplock crown, denoted by the three dots under the coronet on the crown. So, you can even go for a swim with the GMT-Master 2, making it not only the ultimate travelling companion but also the ultimate holiday companion too. Inside the watch is the calibre 3285, Rolex’ latest generation of the GMT movement. Previous watches, including the 116710BLNR, used the 3186 calibre which had a blue Parachrom hairspring from the mid-noughties onwards. Rolex says the Parachrom hairspring is more resistant to temperature changes and shocks than normal hairsprings and is antimagnetic as well.

The new 3285 calibre also has the blue Parachrom hairspring inside it. But, it also has a few new specs to add to its list. For starters, the power reserve is 70 hours on the new BLNR, where it was 48 hours on the old one. The new 3285 powered BLNR also uses Rolex’ new Chronergy escapement which has a double escape wheel and is used to provide better power efficiency than a standard Swiss lever escapement like in the old 3186 powered BLNR. This partly helps the watch achieve the Rolex target for precision of +/-2 seconds per day. There are also new shock absorbers as well in the new 3285 calibre, nicknamed Paraflex. “But, how much of this am I likely to see as an owner of this watch?” Apart from the power reserve, you are unlikely to notice the difference between the two. Therein lies perhaps the only chink in the GMT-Master 2 126710BLNR’s armour, it was released at the same time that the old one was discontinued. So, if you got the old one in the run-up to Baselworld, you may feel like you’ve missed out a little, but that feeling probably won’t last long as you enjoy the 116710BLNR. If you have one of those and you don’t have an enormous cash reserve to spend, then there isn’t much reason to go for the new 126710BLNR. To pay a fair price for it, you’d need to go onto another waiting list. Given that it currently sits somewhere between 12 and 18 months, Rolex may introduce something you like even more between now and then.
That said, if you don’t have the old 116710BLNR and you’re interested in picking up the new one, I can guarantee you that you won’t be disappointed. When I said this Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 is photogenic, I meant it, and you don’t need lots of professional gear and lots of knowledge to make it looks outstanding in photographs. The wrist shots that you have seen in this article were taken on a Samsung Galaxy S10+ while the rest on my standard Canon DSLR.

Rolex Sky-Dweller replica watches

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller is fitted with an Oysterflex bracelet for the first time. The innovative, high-performance elastomer bracelet on this 18 ct yellow gold version has an Oysterclasp and the Rolex Glidelock extension system for enhanced comfort on the wrist.
Rolex is presenting a new 18 ct yellow gold version of its Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller, fitted with an Oysterflex bracelet. The watch is the first in the Classic category to include this innovative bracelet made of high-performance elastomer. It also features a bright black, sunray-finish dial with hands and hour markers in 18 ct yellow gold. The light reflections on the case sides and lugs highlight the refined profile of the 42 mm Oyster case.

This new version is of course equipped with the fluted, rotatable bezel unique to the Sky-Dweller, which is used to set the watch in conjunction with the Ring Command system. It also has a Chromalight display: the hands and hour markers are coated or filled with a luminescent material that emits a long-lasting blue glow in dark conditions.

This new version of the Sky-Dweller is equipped with calibre 9001, at the forefront of watchmaking technology.

Like all Rolex watches, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller carries the Superlative Chronometer certification, which ensures excellent performance on the wrist.
An elegant watch for frequent travellers, the Sky-Dweller displays the time in two time zones simultaneously and has an annual calendar. The reference time, in 24-hour format, is shown via an off-centre disc, and the local time is read using conventional centre hands. The annual calendar, named Saros, automatically differentiates between 30- and 31-day months. It is operated by a patented mechanism and stands out for its innovative display: the months of the year are indicated in 12 apertures around the circumference of the dial, with the current month marked in red. The instantaneous date change is linked to the local time.

The Sky-Dweller includes the Ring Command system, an interface between the rotatable bezel, winding crown and movement that allows the wearer to select and set the timepiece’s functions one by one, easily, quickly and securely.
A paragon of robustness and reliability, the Oyster case of the Sky-Dweller is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet). The middle case is crafted from a solid piece of 18 ct yellow gold. The case back, edged with fine fluting, is hermetically screwed down with a special tool that allows only Rolex watchmakers to access the movement. The Twinlock winding crown, fitted with a double waterproofness system, screws down securely against the case. The crystal is made of virtually scratchproof sapphire and is fitted with a Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock for easy reading of the date. The waterproof Oyster case provides optimum protection for the watch’s movement.
This new version of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller is equipped with calibre 9001, a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. With multiple patents filed, this mechanical, self-winding movement is one of the most complex calibres created by the brand. Its architecture, manufacturing and innovative features make it exceptionally precise and reliable.

Calibre 9001 has a blue Parachrom hairspring manufactured by Rolex in an exclusive paramagnetic alloy that makes it up to 10 times more precise than a traditional hairspring in case of shocks. The blue Parachrom hairspring is equipped with a Rolex overcoil, ensuring the calibre’s regularity in any position. The oscillator is fitted on the Rolex-designed and -patented high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, increasing the movement’s shock resistance.

Calibre 9001 is equipped with a self-winding module via a Perpetual rotor and offers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.
The new 18 ct yellow gold version of the Sky-Dweller is fitted with an Oysterflex bracelet, which singularly combines the robustness and reliability of a metal bracelet with the flexibility, comfort and aesthetics of an elastomer strap. Developed and patented by Rolex, this innovative bracelet is made up of flexible metal blades manufactured from a titanium and nickel alloy. The blades are overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer, a material that is particularly resistant to environmental effects and very durable. For enhanced comfort, the inside of the Oysterflex bracelet is equipped with longitudinal cushions.

The Oysterflex bracelet on this new version of the Sky-Dweller is equipped with a folding Oysterclasp in 18 ct yellow gold, designed and patented by Rolex. In addition, it features the Rolex Glidelock extension system, also developed and patented by the brand. This particularly inventive mechanism comprises a rack located under the clasp cover and a toothed sliding link that locks into the chosen notch. The Rolex Glidelock on the Oysterflex bracelet has six notches of approximately 2.5 mm, allowing the length of the bracelet to be adjusted easily, and without tools, up to some 15 mm.
Like all Rolex watches, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller is covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification redefined by Rolex in 2015. This exclusive designation testifies that every watch leaving the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria. These certification tests apply to the fully assembled watch, after casing the movement, guaranteeing superlative performance on the wrist in terms of precision, power reserve, waterproofness and self-winding. The precision of a Rolex Superlative Chronometer is of the order of −2/+2 seconds per day, or more than twice that required of an official chronometer.

The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Watch

Although Rolex’s slate of novelties for 2021 is somewhat smaller than the previous few years, the brand’s crop of new models released at this year’s Watches & Wonders still contains some genuinely striking offerings for fans of the marque. For sheer flash, few things in the Rolex lineup can beat a Daytona chronograph in gold, and for 2021 the Swiss giant is introducing a panda meteorite dial option to Daytonas in white gold, yellow gold, and the brand’s proprietary Everose rose gold alloy. The new meteorite dial Rolex Daytona replica models add a new layer of visual dimension to the classic panda dial Daytona look, bringing a literally out-of-this-world texture to Rolex’s instantly recognizable chronograph design.

Several brands have introduced meteorite dial designs in the past few years, including Rolex itself, but as with previous iterations, Rolex approaches the dial for this new Daytona series in its own dogmatic style. Like with 2019’s meteorite dial GMT-Master II series, the brand’s use of meteorite here is less a centerpiece to design the rest of the watch around and more of an accent to the well-established Daytona formula. The unique rounded indices, striped baton hands, and the mix of sunburst and azurage finishing on the three black subdials are all staples of the Daytona line, and rather than change its popular formula to highlight the new dial surface Rolex simply lets the material speak for itself. Like jazz, this is one new instrument or riff added to a melody in progress. The striated and dynamic silver tones of the meteorite surface add a more chaotic feel to the design, moving the look away from the styles of past panda dial Daytonas toward something wholly modern. In keeping with the brand’s stringent quality standards, the meteorite dials used for these new Rolex Daytona models are fashioned from solid meteorite material, rather than the more common veneer on top of a standard metal dial base.

Outside of these new dials, these new variants of the Rolex Daytona replica series are functionally identical to the rest of the line. The 40mm cases are available in either 18K white gold, 18K yellow gold, or Rolex’s Everose 18K rose gold alloy, each of which brings a different personality to the familiar mix of screw-down pushers, athletic tapering lugs, and wide fixed tachymeter bezels. The 18K white gold model is the stealthiest of the trio by far, with a black ceramic bezel shared with the stainless steel model for a precious metal design that can pass under the radar of a casual observer. In 18K yellow gold, however, this tool-oriented design takes on a brilliant and monolithic personality, and the bright metallic streaks in the meteorite dial will likely combine with the full gold look to create one of the brand’s most dynamic designs in shifting light. The 18K Everose model falls somewhere in between the two visually, keeping the immediate punch of a gold design but with a subtler, more modern tone. Like all Daytona models, these new meteorite dial iterations offer a solid 100 meters of water resistance.

Rolex powers these new meteorite dial Daytona variants with the in-house 4130 automatic chronograph movement. The 4130 has been the backbone of the Daytona line for over 20 years and still offers an impressive list of specifications including a column wheel and vertical clutch actuation system, a magnetic resistant Parachrom hairspring, and a 72-hour power reserve. Accuracy is within the brand’s own in-house Superlative Chronometer standards, claimed at -2/+2 seconds per day. For the 18K yellow gold and 18K Everose gold versions of the new meteorite dial Rolex Daytona replica, the brand opts for the classic three-link Oyster bracelet. The white gold model, on the other hand, is paired with the brand’s Oysterflex rubber strap in simple black for a more toned-down and sporty look.

Fake Rolex Explorer II 42mm 226570 Watch

For 2021 the major new Rolex watch release of interest to watch hobbyists will be this updated Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer II know as the reference 226570. It directly replaces the outgoing Rolex Explorer II 216570 replica – keeping the same 42mm wide form factor but offering many minor exterior upgrades as well as a modern-generation in-house made Rolex automatic GMT movement.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer II began life as a combination between the Rolex Explorer and the GMT-Master II. According to the story, Rolex developed the watch for cave explorers who used the GMT hand not necessarily to indicate the time in a second time zone, but rather as an AM/PM indicator. Why? Well as there is no natural light underground (and explorers could spend days down there) – knowing if it was day or night via your watch was certainly useful. To accomplish this, users simply need to synchronize the 24 hour GMT hand with the 12 hour time.

The Rolex Explorer II has been popular over the last few years for a number of good reasons. It isn’t the least expensive Rolex Oyster Perpetual family watch, but it has traditionally been a good value and less than the more popular GMT-Master II or Submariner. The GMT-Master II had the fancier bezel and the Submariner had the fancier bracelet – while both of them feature ceramic bezel inserts. When Rolex upgraded to the 216570 from the previous generation Rolex Explorer II 16570, it made the case size 2mm larger (40mm – 42mm wide) and also marked a return to the “classic” orange-colored GMT arrow hand. The change in size helped visually separate the Explorer II from other Rolex sport watches, and thus helped carve out a new market for it, ideal for those who wanted something larger than the 40mm wide standard size which Rolex sport watches had been focused on for a number of years.

The 904L Oystersteel case of the Explorer 226570 is the same 42mm wide size as the outgoing model, but the case shape is a little bit different and I suspect it wears a little bit differently too. New parts are all around ranging from the bracelet, deployant, case, dial, and hands. Speaking of hands, the 226570 fixes what many people felt was one of the biggest problems with the 216570 – which was overly glossy hands – notably on the white dial model with its black-colored hands. For the 2021 Rolex Explorer 226570 with the white dial, Rolex marks a return to the more matte-finished black hands, similar in style to those that watch hobbyists enjoyed in the Rolex 16570 Explorer II model. While the Chromalight luminant name isn’t new, the 2021 Rolex Explorer and Explorer II uses a new, apparently brighter, formulation of this luminous material. It will be interesting to experience the new 2021 Chromalight in person.

Rolex offers the Replica Rolex Explorer II 226570 with either the lacquered white or black dial – and matching orange-colored GMT hand. The white dial has matte black PVD-coated gold hands and matching applied hour markers, while the black dial variant has polished white gold hands and matching applied hour markers. The watches also have a window for the date, with the Rolex cyclops magnifier over the date window as part of the sapphire crystal.

Unlike the Rolex GMT-Master II, the Explorer II has a fixed (not rotating) bezel, with the 24 hour markers etched into the steel and then painted black. The case is water resistant to 100 meters, and attached to the case is an updated three-link Oyster bracelet (it is broader than the previous bracelet) that I am personally excited to try on my wrist. The deployant doesn’t have a micro-adjust, but it does have the 5mm comfort extension link which can be folded out of the deployant clasp.

Inside the Rolex Explorer II 226570 is the still fresh Rolex caliber 3285 automatic GMT movement (same movement that is used in the current-generation GMT-Master II). The 4Hz frequency movement has about 70 hours of power reserve and is accurate to about 2 seconds per day. Like all Rolex movements, the 3285 is “Superlative Chronometer” certified, which means it have both a COSC Chronometer certificate as well as passes Rolex’s stringent in-house performance and accuracy testing standards.

2021 was never going to be a particularly prolific year for Rolex – no more so than at most other luxury timepiece brands who are keeping new releases “safe” during the pandemic. Rolex is currently going through a long-term upgrade cycle where each year some of their aging models get updates with new cases, movements, and sometimes styles. No one can quite predict which iconic Rolex watch will be next, but it is easy to identify which of their watches is in line for an update. The Explorer II had been in line for a while – though it isn’t Rolex’s most aging piece. This implies that Rolex uses a special formula or decision making process that keeps its fans and watch hobbyists on their toes.

Even though the Rolex Explorer II might seem like a niche piece, its bold size, handsome looks, and comparatively unpretentious guise have made it very popular with enthusiasts who might not even own another Rolex watch. The 2021 black or white dial 226570 Explorer II watches offer even more reason to enjoy this “more humble” Rolex Oyster sports watch for those who haven’t enjoyed a Rolex Explorer II in the past, or who for whatever reason prefer the looks of the older 40mm wide models more than the outgoing “chunky” larger 42mm wide models. With the 226570 Rolex has really refined some of the minor issues with the 216570, and helped strengthen the appeal of the original spelunking watch… for a new generation of cave-dwellers. It also happens to cost what a Rolex Submariner Date was listed at just a few years ago. Price for the reference 226570 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer II watch

rolex submariner 126613

Rolex Submariner 41MM 126613LN Ceramic Black Dial 18K / SS… Rolex 41mm Submariner Date Black Dial 18K Yellow Gold/Stainles… Rolex 35713: Rolex Submariner 41, ref. 126613LN, 2020 Unworn… Rolex submariner 126613LN Oyster and yellow gold Men’s Watch… Rolex Submariner Stainless Steel and Gold Black Index Dial…
For the Submariner 126610LN and Submariner 126613, Rolex has substantially narrowed the profile of the lugs, bringing the case profile more in line with classic Submariner references of decades past while also noticeably slimming the overall case depth for a sleeker, more vintage appearance on the wrist.
The new Rolex Submariner 126610LN, along with the new two-tone Rolex Submariner 126613LN (black dial and bezel) and 126613LB (blue dial and bezel) makes changes to the case, dial, movement, and bracelet, which combined create a new direction for the iconic Rolex aesthetic heading into the 2020s.
Both the Rolex Submariner 126610LN and the Rolex Submariner 126613LN/126613LB are equipped with the latest evolution of the three-link Rolex Oyster bracelet. While the look remains largely the same as previous iterations, the execution on the links is nearly flawless with essentially no visible gap between each link.
The time has come for Rolex to present its novelties for 2020! When Baselworld was officially canceled, it seemed that Rolex would follow its tradition and therefore not present novelties in 2020.

This proved to be wrong, and on the 1st of September 2020, Rolex presented its novelties to the world, including the discontinuing of a number of different models. The biggest news of 2020 is the upgrade of the whole Submariner range. 2020 meant a huge upgrade to the Submariner range in the sense that every single model in the collection was updated. This didn’t come as a surprise, however, as an upgrade was well due considering the Submariners all used Rolex’s previous generation caliber 31XX movements, in a time when the new generation caliber 32XX had already been presented by the brand.
One of the news that Rolex presented in 2020 was an upgrade to the existing two-tone Submariner in black, reference 116613LN. The biggest change from the predecessor was of course the latest generation caliber, but also a number of visual tweaks and refinements to its design. The watch got the new reference number 126613LN. Let’s go into detail and see what this watch is all about.
The Submariner colletion has consisted of two two-tone models for a long time. This includes two models, one blue, and one black. Originally, they carried the reference 16613, followed by 116613, and now 126613. For the blue, the reference ends with LB (Lunette bleu), and for the black, LN (Lunette Noir), referring to the color of the bezel.

So, what’s new?

In terms of visual changes, the biggest difference is that the case size has been increased from 40mm to 41mm, thus now referred to as the Submariner 41. The increase in diameter size of only 1mm may not seem like a big deal, but for Rolex, it really is. This is considering the fac t that the model has never had a size greater than 40mm ever in its history.

But whilst you may think that the new Rolex 126613LN will wear bigger than the predecessor, it really won’t This has to do with the fact that the lugs have been made slimmer and more refined, in a way reminiescent of the reference 16613 Submariner. So whilst the watch is bigger on paper, it will wear more or less the same as it is gone with the squared-lug design, and has a more elegant lug design which makes it appear smaller on the wrist than the size may suggest.

Since Rolex is a brand that is about evolution, not revolution, the design of the watch remains more or less the same. It has a combination of 18ct yellow gold and 904L (Oyster)steel. The watch has a black Cerachrome bezel insert and the bezel is a unidirectional rotating bezel. The watch is equipped with a three-link Oyster bracelet in gold and steel and has Rolex’s Glidelock extension system. Another change relates to the bracelet . To match the increase in size, Rolex has also made the braelet slightly wider and increased it from 20mm to 21mm.

Rolex Datejust Watches for sale

Rolex’s Datejust is the archetype of the classic watch thanks to functions and aesthetics that never go out of fashion. Launched in 1945, it was the first self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o’clock on the dial, and consolidated all the major innovations that Rolex had contributed to the modern wristwatch until then. Rolex Datejust Watches Both modern and aesthetic, the Rolex Datejust has one of the most recognized in the collection of classic watches, specifically their traditional pieces, which has spanned over eras and surpassed changes in fashion over time. New Rolex Datejust Watches
Rolex just dropped a new collection of Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36s at the Watches & Wonders 2021 show. The Datejust has long been a canvas for interesting dials, and now, we have two new ones to choose from: a festive palm motif and a luxe fluted version that pays homage to the Rolex’s famously fluted bezels.
The tropical palm motif can be found on three of the new models. There’s an Oystersteel version that comes on an Oyster bracelet and features the palm motif in olive green, there’s a Rolesor (two-tone) version on an Oyster bracelet that features the golden palm motif dial, and there’s a silver dial on the third version, an Everose Rolesor model with a Jubilee bracelet. On the fluted dial side of things, there’s a yellow gold and steel version with a golden fluted dial, and there’s a white gold and steel and white-gold version with a blue fluted dial. All the new Datejusts are outfitted with the caliber 3235, which comes with the Chronergy escapement and a power reserve of 70 hours.
The Rolex Datejust 36 is what a lot of people who aren’t necessarily enthusiasts or into sport watches tend to think of when they think of Rolex. It’s also been a traditional canvas for new dial designs and colorful dial treatments, so it’s no big surprise to see a couple of new dial treatments in the DJ 36.

With the new tropical Palm motif, Rolex has offered another fun design that shows quite a bit of range across the three variations available at launch. I really like the olive dial paired with the Oystersteel DJ. Its plain domed bezel and white metal configuration are the most toned-down of the new releases, and the olive-colored palm dial provides a really fun pop of color.
On the fluted dial side of things, you get the two-tone with golden fluted dial, a two-tone steel and Everose with domed bezel, and the all-white metal version paired with a blue dial. The last brings a really cool look to the Datejust 36, and it’s my favorite of all the new Datejusts. But if the Datejust 36 is what a lot of people think of when they think of Rolex, then I think the two-tone yellow gold and Oystersteel version of this model is the specific watch many have in their minds. Paired with this new dial, it feels classic, like something you might have seen already. Just look at that one right above.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Watches

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is a COSC certified, self-winding chronometer manufactured by Rolex. Initially presented in 1956, the Day-Date was the first watch to display the date, as well as the day, in its entirety. Rolex Oyster, a term often associated with the Rolex brand. Recognized as one of the most luxurious and prestigious watch brands in the world, no matter if you ask someone who knows watches well, or someone who doesn’t know much about them, most people know about Rolex. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner is a line of sports watches designed for diving and manufactured by Rolex, and are known for their resistance to water and corrosion. The first Submariner was introduced to the public in 1954 at the Basel Watch Fair.
Completely revised, the Oyster Perpetual range welcomes a new, 41 mm model: the Oyster Perpetual 41. The Oyster Perpetual 36 brings vibrant dials to the range. Both of these watches are fitted with calibre 3230.
Rolex presents the new generation of its Oyster Perpetual watches and brings a new model to the range, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41, as well as versions of the Oyster Perpetual 36 displaying dials in vivid colours. The light reflections on the case sides highlight the elegant profile of the Oyster case, which is made from Oystersteel. Measuring 41 mm or 36 mm respectively, it is fitted with a domed bezel.

One version of the Oyster Perpetual 41 has a novel configuration: its silver, sunray-finish dial is graced with hands and hour markers in 18 ct yellow gold. A second version is introduced with a bright black sunray-finish dial, and hands and hour markers in 18 ct white gold.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 is unveiled with a dynamic and vibrant new look, offering lacquer dials in five new colours: candy pink, turquoise blue, yellow, coral red and green.

The new generation Oyster Perpetual model has a Chromalight display: the hands and hour markers are coated or filled with a luminescent material that emits a long-lasting blue glow in dark conditions.

The Oyster Perpetual 41 and the new versions of the Oyster Perpetual 36 are equipped with calibre 3230, a movement at the forefront of watchmaking technology, launched by Rolex this year.

Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual 41 and Oyster Perpetual 36 carry the Superlative Chronometer certification, which ensures excellent performance on the wrist.
THE ESSENCE OF THE OYSTER
Watches in the Oyster Perpetual range are direct descendants of the original Oyster, the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, on which Rolex has built its reputation since 1926. These watches benefit from all the fundamental features of the Oyster Perpetual collection – excellent chronometric precision, a waterproof Oyster case, and self-winding of the movement via a Perpetual rotor. Displaying hours, minutes and seconds, made exclusively of Oystersteel and featuring a sophisticated finish, these are chronometer wristwatches in their purest form.

THE OYSTER CASE, SYMBOL OF WATERPROOFNESS
A paragon of robustness and elegance, the Oyster case of the Oyster Perpetual 41 and Oyster Perpetual 36 is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet). Its middle case is crafted from a solid block of Oystersteel, a particularly corrosion-resistant alloy. The case back, edged with fine fluting, is hermetically screwed down with a special tool that allows only Rolex watchmakers to access the movement. The Twinlock winding crown, fitted with a double waterproofness system, screws down securely against the case. The crystal is made of virtually scratch-proof sapphire. The waterproof Oyster case provides optimum protection for the watch’s movement.

PERPETUAL CALIBRE 3230
The Oyster Perpetual 41 and the new versions of the Oyster Perpetual 36 are equipped with calibre 3230, a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, launched by the brand this year. At the forefront of watchmaking technology, this self-winding mechanical movement led to the filing of several patents, and offers fundamental gains in terms of precision, power reserve, resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, convenience and reliability.

Calibre 3230 incorporates the Chronergy escapement patented by Rolex, which combines high energy efficiency with great dependability. Made of nickel-phosphorus, it is also insensitive to magnetic fields. The movement is fitted with an optimized blue Parachrom hairspring, manufactured by Rolex in an exclusive paramagnetic alloy that makes it up to 10 times more precise than a traditional hairspring in case of shocks. The blue Parachrom hairspring is equipped with a Rolex overcoil, ensuring the calibre’s regularity in any position. The oscillator is fitted on the Rolex-designed and -patented high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, increasing the movement’s shock resistance.

Calibre 3230 is equipped with a self-winding module via a Perpetual rotor. Thanks to its barrel architecture and the escapement’s superior efficiency, its power reserve extends to approximately 70 hours.

OYSTER BRACELET
The Oyster Perpetual 41 and the Oyster Perpetual 36 are fitted with an Oyster bracelet in Oystersteel. Developed at the end of the 1930s, this three-piece link bracelet is known for its robustness.

On this particular Oyster bracelet, the tops of the links are satin-finished, while the sides are polished. It is fitted with a folding Oysterclasp and the Easylink comfort extension link, developed by Rolex, that allows the wearer to easily adjust the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm. It is the first time that this extension system has been used on a bracelet for the Oyster Perpetual range.

In addition, a concealed attachment system ensures seamless visual continuity between the bracelet and case.

SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER CERTIFICATION
Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual 41 and Oyster Perpetual 36 are covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification redefined by Rolex in 2015. This exclusive designation testifies that every watch leaving the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria. These certification tests apply to the fully assembled watch, after casing the movement, guaranteeing superlative performance on the wrist in terms of precision, power reserve, waterproofness and self-winding. The precision of a Rolex Superlative Chronometer is of the order of −2/+2 seconds per day, or more than twice that required of an official chronometer.

The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.

The Sky-Dweller has an air of ultimate luxury to it. It’s the most complicated watch Rolex offers, boasting a combination GMT function and annual calendar, all controlled by just the crown and the bezel. And in precious metals, it’s one of Rolex’s top-of-the-line offerings to boot.

Since its introduction in 2012, the watch has been rendered in yellow gold, Everose gold, Oystersteel and yellow gold, and even Oystersteel and white gold. It’s come on an Oyster bracelet with polished center links as well as an Oysterflex bracelet, a bracelet that presents as a rubber strap, but is classified as a bracelet for the flexible metal blade underneath the elastomeric over-molding.
And now, for 2021, the Sky-Dweller gets the option of a Jubilee bracelet on the Oystersteel and white-gold variant as well as the Rolesor variant. The Jubilee is often cited as a more luxurious alternative to the steadfast oyster bracelet, so it’s a move that just feels natural. Introduced in 1945 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Rolex, it’s a five-link design instead of the popular Oyster bracelet’s three-link design. The additional links create more surface area to catch light, and on modern jubilee bracelets, the center links are polished enough to reflect a large amount of it, attracting the eye and elevating the bracelet itself to the status of jewelry. Is there a more fitting model in the modern Rolex lineup to receive a Jubilee? Not in my book.

The Sky-Dweller comes in various metals and strap and bracelet configurations. All are sized at 42mm with a screw-down caseback, a 100m water resistant Oyster case, and a synthetic, scratch-resistant crystal with cyclops date window. Movement, Rolex in-house caliber 9001 with center seconds, minutes, and hours; independently settable hour hand and home-time indication by 24-hour ring; annual calendar. Setting via the crown, controlled by Ring Command bezel, with 72-hour power reserve. The jubilee bracelet is now available on the Oystersteel/White Gold and Rolesor models.  Rolex Sky-Dweller Watches
If the GMT-Master was designed for those sitting in the front of a jet, then the Sky-Dweller was definitely meant for those sitting in the back. 2021 could be a jubilee year for passengers and air travel again after more than a year of confinements, lock-downs and closed borders. 

So why not celebrate with a new bracelet. The Sky-Dweller case hasn’t changed and still houses one of the most complicated movements from the brand.

Still, this is the first time Rolex will give customers the option to wear a Sky-Dweller on Jubilee. Last September, Rolex released the Oysterflex bracelet for the Sky-Dweller in yellow gold and Everose. The Sky-Dweller line is also offered on an Oyster bracelet. 

While the BLNR just got Oystered this year, the other watch that keeps track of time across the world is being Jubileed. The size remains the same for the Sky-Dweller. At 42mm, it looks like a Datejust that has been to the gym and is ready to leave the boardroom to show off its beach bod to the world. Let’s travel!

Rolex Submariner Date

Rolex Submariner Date vs no Date
Rolex Submariner date or not date? This is a question that has split opinions ever since a date and a no-date version became standard side-by-side Submariner duo in Rolex’s collection of watches.

We regularly see people who are looking to buy a Submariner, and ask for advice online on which they should choose: with or without a date? But it seems pointless to ask for advice because the answer is awfully close to 50/50 every time.

Now, there is no right or wrong when it comes to choosing a Submariner – only personalizes preference. However, there are pros and cons of both versions, so before you choose one or the other, read the pros and cons of the Rolex Submariner date vs no date.

To non-watch people, the debate between date and no date may seem insignificant and silly, but small changes make for huge differences for (probably) the most iconic and recognized watch model in the world.
Rolex Submariner date and no date Rolex Submariner background
First off, let’s just start by saying that Rolex does not officially have a watch that is called ”no date”. This is just what people have started calling Submariner without a date in order to distinguish them from the date versions.

In Rolex’s collection, there is Submariner and Submariner Date.
Before we dive into the pros and cons of the respective watch, let’s just briefly go over some history about the Submariner.

Development of the Submariner started in 1953 when a man by the name of René-Paul Jeanneret who came up with an idea for a diver’s watch. This man served on the Board of Directors Rolex. His idea was to make a sporty yet elegant everyday watch that would be waterproof. And apparently, Rolex liked the idea since development began in 1953. The following year, in 1954, the first Rolex Submariner was announced to the world: the reference 6204, debuting at the Basel watch fair. It has a 38mm Oyster case and offers a water resistance of 100m/300ft. A notable feature at the time was the rotating bezel that allows divers to keep track of elapsed time. The first submariner did not have a date function.

The Submariner became a huge success as it was a practical tool watch that made for a perfect all-rounder for any occasion. Since then, a lot have happened in the Submariner collection. Technology has been improved, materials updated, reliability increased, and styling refined.

In 1966, the Submariner reference 1680 made its debut. The 1680 is the first Submariner to feature a date window, complete with cyclops. The introduction of the first Submariner with date symbolized something interesting, which is that the Submariner was no longer just a tool for professional divers. It was also the watch of the likes of James Bond and everyday people. How is that so? Because of the simple fact that a professional diver has no reason to keep track of what date it is when diving deep down in the ocean.
Different versions of Submariner Date and no Date
There are not just one Submariner date and no date respectively. In fact, over the years, Rolex has released several different dates and no-dates.

The watches that most people tend to think about are the Submariner date reference 116610LN and the Submariner no date reference 114060, both with ceramic bezel and maxi case.

However, the previous generation with aluminum inserts also stand side-by-side as a date and no date version, reference 16610 and 14060. Both generations of references are identical to each other, apart from the fact that they have/do not have a date function.
Therefore, if you want to have an older and more traditional Submariner, you will perhaps opt for either the 14060 or the 16610.

Or, if you want a modern, robust, and sporty Submariner, you will opt for either the submariner 114060LN or 116610LN.
Submariner Date vs no Date: Pros and Cons
As mentioned there is no right and wrong answer to this question.

It all depends on what you require in a watch. There is no denying that the date is a practical function on the Submariner. Being able to have a glance at your watch and instantly know the date, rather than having to awkwardly pull up your phone can be really helpful in many situations.

At the same time, there are plenty of watches that do not have a date function, so if you do not have it on your other watches, you can reason in two ways:
Either you can say ”I don’t have a date on my other watches, so I am doing just fine without it”

Or you can say Because I don’t have the date function on my other watches, I want to get a watch that has this function”.

There are two main things that no date advocates highlight about the Submariner no date.

The first is symmetry.

The symmetry of the Submariner date is damaged due to the date window and the cyclops on the dial. Whilst the feature is practical, it does harm the symmetrical beauty. The Submariner no date ha a perfectly symmetrical dial that just is visually appealing to look at. Furthermore, the no date is cleaner, which gives the perception of a more widened the dial.

The other thing is originality. The first Submariner and a number of references after that did not have a date function. With that said, the date function and cyclops is a relatively modern idea. As such, the no-date version stays much truer to the original Submariner. Purists will naturally find the Submariner no date the better alternative, but in terms of practicality, it’s safe to say that it is not. By omitting the date function, the watch retains its lines and minimalist aesthetics. The Submariner is made for a specific purpose, so who needs to know the date when diving, anyway? It’s only that the closest most Submariners will ever come water is when the owner washes their hands.
The thing is that most people today who buy a Submariner will wear them as desk divers. They buy the Submariner because it is iconic, it has an interesting history, and because they like it aesthetically. But if you are only desk diving, the date function can certainly come in handy.

The look of the Submariner Date
There are also people who prefer the look of the Submariner with cyclops and date window. The most noticeable about the Submariner date is perhaps not the date window alone, but rather the cyclops that is glued on top of the crystal. The cyclops was introduced in 1966 to magnify the date aperture function two and a half times – a very clever feature to improve legibility.

The cyclops has today become an important element in many of Rolex’s models, not to mention the Datejust model. So unlike back in the days when the date cyclops was something very odd-looking, today many people associate it with Rolex.
Submariner Date vs no Date price difference
Have in mind that the there is a price difference between the date and no date Submariners

Naturally, because the date version has a date window, date wheel, as well as an upgraded movement to support the date function, it has a higher price.

So the question is, do you think it is worth to pay more to have the date or can you manage just fine without?

The 114060 vs The 116610LN
The ceramic date and no date Submariners stand side by side as rivals and make the choice for many people a tough one. If it would only be one, the choice would be much easier. But clearly, Rolex sees demand for both.
As mentioned, 116610LN and 114060 are more or less identical. They share the same 40mm Oyster case made from Oystersteel. A screw-down caseback and crown ensure water-resistance to 300m (1,000ft). Both have black dials with 18ct gold hour markers to prevent tarnishing. And both feature a unidirectional rotatable bezel with scratch-resistant Cerachrom insert in ceramic.

The difference, however, is that the date version has a cyclops glued to the crystal at 3 o’clock. Furthermore, the 3 o’clock marker on the dial has been removed in order to give room for the date window. Because of this difference, the two watches also have slightly different movements. The reference 114060 is powered by calibre 3130 which is a self-winding mechanical movement manufactured in-house by Rolex. It’s fitted with a Parachrom hairspring and is certified as a superlative chronometer. The Submariner Date, on the other hand, is equipped with calibre 3135. It has the same specifications as the calibre 3130, but has an added instantaneous date with rapid setting.

Conclusion
Regardless of your choice of a date or a no date, you can never go wrong with a classic such as the Submariner. It is iconic, legendary, and truly timeless in design.

With that said, symmetry is something our eyes find visually pleasing. So are you prepared to compare the symmetry of the Submariner in favor of a practical date window? Or would you rather premier function over symmetry?
