Pitted bezel
The Rolex triangle pattern is a characteristic feature of the brand's watches. Initially, the OYSTER bezel's triangular pitches served a practical purpose, helping to secure the bezel to the case by screwing it down and ensuring that the watch was waterproof. The same was true of the pitched caseback, which was screwed into place with a special Rolex tool. Later, the triangular pitched pattern evolved into an aesthetic design element that has become an iconic feature of Rolex. Today, it is a characteristic feature of the brand's watches, and in the case of the Datejust 36, the bezel is made of gold.
Chocolate-colored dial
Many of the OYSTER models feature a sunray effect that reflects the lightness of the watch. This effect requires an exceptional brushing technique to create the engravings that spread out from the center of the watch. The light is dispersed along the markings, creating a subtle yet distinctive effect that reveals itself in different shades as the wrist moves. Once the sunray effect is completed, the watch is then colored by physical vapor deposition or electroplating, and finally finished with an oil lacquer.
Eternal Rose Gold Steel
Gold is a beautiful, precious and fascinating material. Steel is strong and trustworthy. The harmony of the two is combined with other characteristics. Gold and steel, the signature feature of Rolex, was already present in Rolex watches from the early 1930s until 1933, when it was officially registered as a trademark. It is also one of the distinctive features of the OYSTER collection.
