Datejust 31 Silver Diamond Dial Fluted Bezel Steel 18KT Yellow Gold Oyster M278273-0019

The Rolex Datejust 31 Reference M278273-0019 is a quintessential representation of the classic two-tone Datejust aesthetic, balancing the resilience of steel with the luxury of yellow gold. This model features a bright Silver 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, providing an elegant contrast to the steel case.

The timepiece is fitted with the robust, three-piece link Oyster bracelet, which is 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.

Key Features

The centerpiece is the bright Silver Diamond Dial. This classic, clean silver hue is typically executed with a sunray finish that reflects light beautifully, providing a neutral and elegant backdrop for the diamond markers.

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. 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.
