Rolex Datejust 31mm Olive Green 278288RBR

Olive-Green Dial

Refined Technique and Radiant Finish

The olive-green dial is a refined example of watchmaking craftsmanship, enhanced with diamonds set in 18 ct gold settings. Its elegant appearance is elevated by the signature sunray finish found across the Oyster Perpetual collection.

This finish is created using precise brushing techniques that form fine grooves radiating outward from the centre of the dial, producing a perfectly structured and refined texture.

As light moves across these engravings, it is evenly diffused, creating a subtle glow that shifts naturally with wrist movement. Once the sunray effect is complete, the olive-green colour is applied using advanced Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) or electroplating techniques.

A final protective layer of varnish enhances depth, richness, and durability, completing the dial with a smooth and polished finish.

Diamond-Set Bezel

A Symphony of Light and Precision

The diamond-set bezel reflects the refined artistry of Rolex gem-setting, where each gemstone is carefully selected and precisely positioned to create a radiant and harmonious design. Skilled gem-setters meticulously shape the precious metal to form perfectly crafted seats for every stone.

Each diamond is placed with exceptional accuracy, aligned in harmony with the others, and securely set in gold or platinum to ensure lasting brilliance and stability.

Beyond the quality of the stones, the true beauty lies in the precise alignment, consistent height, exact positioning, and balanced proportions of each setting, along with the meticulous finishing of the metalwork.

The result is a luminous and elegant bezel that enhances the watch with captivating sparkle, delivering a refined harmony of light, detail, and craftsmanship.
