Rolex Datejust 31 – Ref. 278274-0015
Step into refined elegance with the Rolex Datejust 31 Ref. 278274-0015, a beautifully balanced women’s timepiece that merges Rolex’s heritage engineering with contemporary styling. Built in White Rolesor (combining Oystersteel and 18k white gold), this model features a fluted white-gold bezel, a dark grey sunray dial, and the robust Calibre 2236 movement — all within a graceful 31 mm case.
White Rolesor Case Fluted Bezel
The 31 mm Oyster case is crafted in Oystersteel for strength and durability, paired with a fluted bezel in 18k white gold, a signature Rolex aesthetic that adds luminous contrast. While the fluting originally had functional roots, today it stands as an iconic visual hallmark. The fluted bezel is painstakingly crafted to reflect light and accentuate the watch’s elegance. The case architecture, inclusive of the screw-down Twinlock crown, ensures water resistance up to 100 meters / 330 feet.
Dark Grey Sunray Dial Index Markers
Capturing light with subtle brilliance, the dark grey sunray-finish dial features fine brushing radiating from its center, giving life and depth to each glance. Applied index hour markers in polished metal lend refined clarity, matched with crisp dauphine hands. A date display with the characteristic Cyclops magnifier sits at 3 o’clock, combining function with Rolex’s signature styling.
Calibre 2236 – Modern Precision
At its heart is Rolex’s Calibre 2236, a self-winding movement infused with modern enhancements. This calibre includes the Syloxi silicon hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers for enhanced stability and resistance to external impacts. After casing, the watch is certified a Superlative Chronometer (precision of –2/+2 sec/day). The movement offers approximately 55 hours of power reserve, ensuring dependable performance even when rotated in a collection.
Oyster Bracelet Wearability
Ref. 278274-0015 is equipped with the robust Oyster bracelet, composed of three-piece solid links that combine durability and elegance. The bracelet secures via a deployant Oysterclasp, with the Easylink 5 mm extension for micro-adjustments — perfect for balancing comfort through temperature shifts or active wear.
