Rolex Day-Date 40 228349RBR – Olive Green Dial White Gold Watch

The Rolex Day-Date 40 228349RBR combines 18 ct white gold, an olive green dial, a diamond-set bezel and Rolex’s iconic President bracelet. Reference 228349RBR is a luxurious interpretation of the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40, powered by Rolex Calibre 3255 and designed to display both the day and date through dedicated apertures on the dial.

Rolex Day-Date 40 228349RBR

The Rolex Day-Date 40 228349RBR features a 40mm Oyster case crafted entirely from 18 ct white gold. Its proportions provide a substantial yet balanced presence on the wrist while preserving the distinctive architecture that has defined the Day-Date collection for decades.

The case features a screw-down caseback and winding crown with Rolex’s Twinlock double waterproofness system. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial and incorporates the familiar Cyclops lens over the date display.

The bezel is set with diamonds, adding a jewellery-oriented character to the otherwise understated white-gold case.

Olive Green Dial

The Rolex Day-Date 40 228349RBR features an olive green dial with a sunray finish. Rolex creates the sunray effect through a carefully controlled brushing process that produces fine radial grooves extending from the centre of the dial.

The olive green surface creates changing reflections as the watch moves, giving the dial a rich appearance under different lighting conditions.

The Day-Date’s defining display remains at the centre of the design: the day of the week is displayed through the aperture at 12 o’clock, while the date appears at 3 o’clock beneath the Cyclops lens.

18 ct White Gold Case

The 40mm Oyster case is manufactured from Rolex’s 18 ct white gold. Rolex produces its precious-metal alloys through its own foundry and subjects the materials to rigorous quality controls.

The white-gold construction gives the Rolex Day-Date 40 a refined appearance while maintaining the robust Oyster case architecture associated with the collection.

The watch is waterproof to 100 metres, making the Day-Date 40 suitable for everyday wear despite its precious-metal and gem-set construction.

Rolex Calibre 3255

Powering the Rolex Day-Date 40 228349RBR is Rolex Calibre 3255, a self-winding mechanical movement manufactured by Rolex.

The movement provides central hours, minutes and seconds together with the instantaneous day and date displays. It has an approximately 70-hour power reserve and incorporates Rolex’s blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex high-performance shock absorbers.

Calibre 3255 is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, combining official chronometer certification with Rolex’s own testing after the movement has been placed inside the case.

President Bracelet

The Rolex Day-Date 40 228349RBR is fitted with the President bracelet, one of Rolex’s most recognizable bracelet designs.

The bracelet uses semi-circular three-piece links and is manufactured from 18 ct white gold to match the case. A concealed folding Crownclasp maintains the clean appearance of the bracelet while providing a secure closure.

The President bracelet was created for the original Day-Date launch in 1956 and remains one of the defining characteristics of the collection.

Diamond-Set Bezel

The diamond-set bezel adds a distinctive jewellery element to the Rolex Day-Date 40. Rolex’s gem-setting process involves carefully preparing each setting and precisely aligning the stones before securing them into the precious-metal bezel.

Combined with the olive green dial and white-gold case, the diamond bezel gives reference 228349RBR a particularly luxurious appearance.
