Rolex Datejust 31mm Silver 278240

Silver Dial

Refined Technique and Subtle Radiance

The silver dial reflects refined watchmaking craftsmanship, enhanced by the signature sunray finish of the Oyster Perpetual collection. This technique produces elegant light reflections that add depth and sophistication to the dial.

It is created using precise brushing methods that form fine grooves radiating outward from the centre of the dial, resulting in a perfectly structured and luminous surface.

As light moves across these engravings, it is evenly diffused, producing a soft glow that shifts naturally with wrist movement. Once the sunray texture is complete, the silver tone is applied using advanced Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) or electroplating techniques.

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

Oystersteel

Strength, Resistance, and Lasting Beauty

Rolex uses Oystersteel for its watch cases, a material specially developed to meet the brand’s highest standards of durability and performance. It belongs to the 904L steel family, widely used in high-technology industries such as aerospace and chemical engineering, where exceptional resistance to corrosion is essential.

Oystersteel is highly robust and maintains its structural integrity even in extreme conditions. Once polished, it achieves a refined, brilliant finish that enhances its visual appeal.

Thanks to its strength and resistance, Oystersteel preserves its beauty over time, even in the harshest environments, ensuring both reliability and lasting elegance.
