Rolex Datejust 31 — Reference 278344RBR-0033
Discover the luxurious finesse of the Rolex Datejust 31 ref. 278344RBR-0033 — a timepiece that seamlessly blends refined gem-setting with horological excellence. Crafted in Rolex’s signature White Rolesor (a combination of Oystersteel and 18 ct white gold), this model features a dazzling pink diamond-set dial, crowned by a domed bezel set with brilliant diamonds, and rests upon a sporty-elegant Oyster bracelet. It’s perfect for the discerning individual who values both sparkle and substance.
Case Material Construction
The 31 mm case of the 278344RBR-0033 is made in White Rolesor, bringing together the durability of Oystersteel and the luminous sheen of white gold. The case employs Rolex’s iconic Oyster architecture — monobloc middle case, screw-down case back, and Twinlock winding crown — delivering water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet). Atop the case sits the domed bezel, meticulously set with brilliant-cut diamonds to form a luminous halo around the dial. This jewellery-level dial frame elevates the piece into a statement of chic sophistication.
Dial Gem-Setting Excellence
The standout element of this reference is the pink dial adorned with diamond hour-markers. Each hour marker is framed in 18-ct white gold and set with high-quality diamonds, delivering glints of light without overwhelming clarity. The pink hue lends a feminine yet bold personality — delicate in tone, vibrant in effect. The date window at 3 o’clock is magnified by Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens, ensuring that even with the gemstone embellishments the everyday practicality remains intact.
Movement Precision
Inside the 278344rbr-0033 ticks the Rolex Calibre 2236 — an in-house self-winding mechanical movement respected for its robustness and precision. The movement offers a power reserve of approximately 55 hours, and is certified under Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer standard (-2/+2 seconds per day after casing). With features such as instantaneous date change and a stop-seconds mechanism for accurate setting, it pairs refined aesthetics with dependable performance.
Bracelet Wearability
278344rbr-0033 is mounted on the refined yet sporty Oyster bracelet in Oystersteel — they’re solid three-piece links designed for everyday resilience. The folding Oysterclasp secures the watch on the wrist, while the combination of case size and bracelet design ensures the piece wears elegantly yet confidently.
