Rolex Datejust 31 — Reference 278344RBR-0007
Presenting the refined and luminous Rolex Datejust 31 ref. 278344RBR-0007, a timepiece that melds Rolex’s technical precision with gem-setting expertise. With its 31 mm case, diamond-set bezel, and striking dark grey dial, this reference offers a blend of elegance, luminosity, and everyday wearability.
Case Materials
The case is constructed in White Rolesor — Rolex’s signature fusion of Oystersteel and 18 ct white gold — offering both strength and radiant appeal. Its Oyster case design includes a monobloc middle case, screw-down case back, and Twinlock winding crown, ensuring water resistance to 100 m (330 ft). Topping the case is a domed, diamond-set bezel — a halo of brilliance fashioned with exacting craftsmanship. The gentle curve of the bezel gives the watch a soft luminous crown that accentuates the dial. Protecting the dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, with Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens magnifying the date window at 3 o’clock.
Dial Gem Accents
The dial is finished in dark grey with a sunray pattern, delivering depth and dynamic light play as the wrist moves. Hour markers are diamond-set in 18 kt gold settings, combining sparkle with legibility. Polished white gold hands contrast against the dark grey surface, and the Cyclops lens ensures the date is immediately readable. The synergy of the diamond markers and the bezel halo creates a refined sparkle that never overpowers the dial’s clarity.
Movement Performance
Under the hood 278344rbr-0007 powers Rolex Calibre 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely devised and manufactured by Rolex. This calibre provides approximately 55 hours of power reserve.

After casing, the movement is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, operating within –2/+2 seconds per day.
Bracelet Comfort
