Datejust 31 Dark Grey Diamond Dial Fluted Bezel Steel 18KT Yellow Gold Oyster M278273-0021

The Rolex Datejust 31 Reference M278273-0021 is a striking and sophisticated timepiece, featuring a dramatic dial color contrasted with brilliant yellow gold and diamonds. This model features a deep Dark Grey Dial set with diamonds, the signature Fluted Bezel, and the robust Oyster bracelet, all presented in the iconic Rolesor Yellow Gold design (Oystersteel and 18K Yellow Gold).

The watch features a robust monobloc middle case in durable Oystersteel (Stainless Steel), ensuring reliability and strength. The case is water-resistant to 100 metres (330 feet), secured by the screw-down Twinlock winding crown.

The case is topped by the signature, shimmering Fluted Bezel, which is crafted from solid 18K Yellow Gold. This fluted bezel is a defining characteristic of the Datejust, designed to catch and reflect light brilliantly, contrasting beautifully with the steel case.

The timepiece is fitted with the robust, three-piece link Oyster bracelet, known for its strength and slightly sportier appearance compared to the Jubilee. Crafted in a two-tone Rolesor Yellow Gold style, the outer links are in satin-finished Oystersteel while the center links are in polished 18K Yellow Gold. The bracelet fastens securely with the folding Oysterclasp, which includes the Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link.

The centerpiece is the deep and elegant Dark Grey Diamond Dial . This rich color, often executed with a sophisticated sunray finish, provides a dramatic, modern contrast to the warmth of the yellow gold and the sparkle of the diamonds.

The hours are marked by 10 brilliant-cut Diamond Hour Markers (with the Rolex Crown at 12 o’clock and a date window at 3 o’clock), meticulously set in 18K Yellow Gold surrounds. These diamonds introduce a high level of subtle luxury against the dark background. The date is displayed at 3 o’clock, magnifying beneath the Cyclops lens.

Under the dial lies the robust and precise Calibre 2236 movement. This self-winding mechanical movement incorporates the patented Syloxi hairspring, providing exceptional performance, accuracy, and reliability, and is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, completing this distinguished timepiece.
