Rolex Datejust 31 — Reference 278384RBR-0021
Introducing the exquisite Rolex Datejust 31 ref. 278384RBR-0021, where gem-setting artistry meets Rolex’s heritage of precision. With its White Rolesor case (steel and white gold), diamond-set bezel, mint green sunray dial, and Oyster bracelet, this timepiece radiates elegance, sophistication, and day-to-day durability.
Case Materials
The 31 mm Oyster case is crafted using Rolex’s White Rolesor construction — a refined melding of Oystersteel with 18 ct white gold. A diamond-set bezel graces the top, giving a halo of brilliance without overwhelming the overall silhouette. Built to Rolex’s Oyster architecture, the case features a monobloc middle, screw-down back, and Twinlock crown, rendering it water resistant to 100 m (330 ft). The crystal is scratch-resistant sapphire and includes the iconic Cyclops lens above the date window.
Dial Visual Character
278384rbr-0021 features a mint green sunray dial, produced via expert brushing that creates delicate radial lines emanating from the center. Under varying light, the surface shifts in tone, offering subtle visual dynamics. Hour markers are in polished white gold (stick or baton style), providing crisp contrast and refined legibility over the green background. The date aperture at 3 o’clock is magnified by the Cyclops lens to ensure easy reading — a hallmark of the Datejust line.
Movement Precision
At its core, Calibre 2236 drives the 278384RBR-0021 — a self-winding mechanical movement designed and manufactured entirely by Rolex. It offers a power reserve of approximately 55 hours. Rolex certifies this reference under its Superlative Chronometer standard, guaranteeing precision to –2/+2 seconds per day after casing. The calibre includes an instantaneous date change mechanism, stop-seconds for precise setting, and internal components refined for stability and shock resistance.
Bracelet Wearability
278384rbr-0021 is paired with Rolex’s robust Oyster bracelet, featuring three-piece solid links in Oystersteel — designed for strength, comfort, and versatility. It is equipped with the Oysterclasp and Easylink 5 mm comfort extension, allowing on-the-fly adjustment to ensure a perfect fit in all conditions. The integration of the bracelet with the 31 mm case results in an elegant and confident wrist presence.
