Rolex Day-Date has always been the most elegant, exquisite and luxurious watch in Rolex oyster series. It is made entirely of precious metals, and has been 36 mm for many years. Recently, it has 4 1 mm (with day-date II), but it still has the same complex function: a unique (but now iconic and highly replicated) three-pointer timepiece shows the date. For the 20 15 Basel International Watch and Jewellery Exhibition, this luxurious Rolex not only has new colors, but also adopts brand-new movements, and most of them adopt brand-new movements. This is the 40th day of the new Rolex movement 3255 Rolex.
New Rolex Date 40
Apart from the new dial color, the main novelty of the Rolex Date 40 is of course its new size-so it means a new case. But first, let's review the official certification of Rolex Oyster's most advanced astronomical clock since 1956 (the year when it was first introduced). This long name is very important for understanding this luxury watch.
The new Rolex Day-Date 40 respects these four pillars. It is a waterproof, automatic chronograph watch, which can display the date and date at the same time, and has a luxurious and exquisite feeling-because this watch still has only precious metals (gold, platinum, rose gold or platinum). This new version of the case shows new dimensions and new proportions. When the diameter is reduced to 40 mm, the watchcase strap and ear are slimmer-this is what collectors are looking forward to very much, because the previous version is a bit too bulky.
Another novelty is that each version has a presidential strap-this typical Rolex watch has three round links and is now fully integrated into the watch with a new end chain design. This strap was first introduced in 1956, and it was specially made for Rolex date, and it still has a very important position in the background of the new Rolex date 40. Its firmness and comfort, as well as the quality of hidden buckles, have been fully recognized. This brand-new Rolex Day-Date 40 has a variety of materials and dials to choose from (excluding diamond-encrusted models):
These new combinations, as well as new sizes and proportions, have not completely updated the concept of DD. However, the new Rolex Day-Date 40 is more elegant, refined and fully functional-suitable for wearing on weekends. Once worn on the wrist, the use of precious metals will produce a very heavy timepiece, but the reasonable diameter, slim shape and the comfort of the president's strap have never been disputed.
New Rolex CALIBRE 3255
The biggest novelty of Rolex Day-Date 40 is neither a new dial nor a new dial. The uneven back of the case proudly hides this innovation. In fact, there is a brand-new movement inside the 40mm case, which Rolex has used for a long time. With the new DD, this is a brand-new "crown" era. Sadly, this engine will always be hidden in front of your eyes, because Rolex will not have a transparent case soon-some things may change, because Tudor has now introduced a new North Flag sapphire case.
In any case, even if it is invisible, the new Rolex Calibre 3255 has interesting functions. It adopts a brand-new design-starting from scratch, without using known foundations-and generally improves all technical and aesthetic aspects of Rolex's previous movements. From the generation and storage of energy to the regulating mechanism or gear train, every aspect has been reconsidered and improved. Rolex Calibre 3255 has no less than 14 patents. All this is for one goal: the best timing and reliability. The following are the main improvements:
All these improvements led to the first reduction of energy consumption and the increase of power reserve for 24 hours (compared with the previous 3 156 caliber) to 70 hours. It also brings higher timing performance, because Rolex Calibre 3255 has not only been certified by COSC, but also meets the requirements of COSC, because the accuracy of Rolex is twice that of the official observatory. These movements are officially certified, but they are also tested in Rolex for daily wear and assembly of watches (not just movements).
The latest new product involves surface treatment, because the new Rolex Calibre 3255 has quite high quality. It's not that Rolex's previous movements were bad, but the quality was high. On this new movement, aesthetics has been rearranged and elaborately made. There are polished slopes on the bridge, circular textures on the main board, concentric wiredrawing patterns on the bridge and snail decorations on the rotor. It's clean and pleasant, but unfortunately, it's hidden
conclusion
Rolex uses its traditional formula again: just update it, keep its advantages and never destroy the overall feeling. The new Rolex Day-Date 40 is still an elegant, comfortable and multifunctional luxury watch with many advantages: incredible reliability, exquisite structure and iconic design. The same is true of the new Calibre 3255: high efficiency, intelligent design and excellent manufacturing.
Xu Bugong: I continue to take a biased route and see many people recommend Rolex GMT, but let me talk about watches that can replace Rolex GMT.
Four watches that can replace Rolex GMT-Master II
Omega Seahorse Ocean Cosmos Series Cookies &; Cream timer
I think' Cookies & Cream' with black-and-white bezel is the most powerful competitor (please note that the good planet model has not passed the METAS certification-all-ceramic dark black and big blue are more suitable for people who want bigger and more eye-catching watches).
Its shell is 43.5 mm, adopts METAS-certified coaxial 8606 movement, is equipped with silicon hairspring and antimagnetic material, and has 60-hour power reserve. Of course, there are independent hour hand and Liquidmetal bidirectional bezel. Another noteworthy point about the black and white bezel is that Omega claims that it is the first bezel with two different ceramic colors. In contrast, Rolex's GMT bezel is monochrome, but half of its border has been treated to form a different color.
Omega seamaster planet ocean GMT ref.215.30.44.22.01.001The thickness of the case is only 17.04 mm, but the waterproof depth can reach 2000 feet. Stainless steel bracelets cost $8,000.
TAG Heuer Diving Series 7 GMT
TAG Heuer dive series 7 GMT was launched on 20 17, which is the brand's first "Pepsi" bezel watch since the launch of Autavia GMT in the 1960s. Diving series is TAG Heuer's entry-level model, but for the price of $2,700, the reliability and durability brought by the waterproof depth of 300 meters are hard to ignore (although it is undeniable that this form of Tito watch may be more valuable, it only needs 1 1,000 dollars).
This watch uses a 43mm aluminum red and blue bidirectional bezel, which complements the GMT hands painted in red. Calibre 7 movement is an improved model of Sellita SW330, with 42-hour power reserve. In a word, for those who want a modern watch, it is a sturdy watch and there is no need to worry about a slight collision. The price of tag heuer diving series 7 GMT is $2,700. If you want a more economical model, the black and blue models have the same function, and the price is $265438 +000.
Breitling 8 Unitime B35 Universal Time Watch
Unlike GMT Master, Navitimer 8 B35 Unitime itself is not a traditional GMT watch, but from a practical point of view, Breitling strives to simplify complexity, eliminate redundant functions, provide pilots, travelers and adventurers with the functions they need, and remove the functions they don't need. It is a rare model in the world timepiece, showing a purer tool list form; Specifically, it has a rotating crown to ensure that the watch has waterproof ability as deep as 100 meters; There is a rotating bezel for tracking flight time; There is also an hour hand, which can be quickly set to keep you on time when you arrive in a new city. Even the exquisite modern 24-hour dial is consistent with the world time circle and very clear, and it follows the dial layout designed by the watchmaker Louis Cortyl in 1930s. The starting price of Breitling Navitimer 8 B35 Unitime is $8, 140, while the price of its iconic triple chain is $8,520.
Seiko, Seiko, Seiko, Seiko, Seiko GS SBGE20 1G
For GMT masters, there is no more accurate or powerful substitute than Grand Seiko Sbge201G. This style is powered by 9R66 spring-driven movement, and the mechanical hybrid GMT movement provides accurate time (+/- 1 second per day and +/- 15 second per month), which can provide a power reserve of up to 72 hours, enough to last a complete weekend. SBGE20 1G can process many parts, including carefully polished diamond cutting time markers and full inlaid bezel, which makes this watch highly praised for its readability.
The entry price of Rolex is basically above 30,000, and with the tariff, 40,000 to 50,000 models include oyster perpetual calendar and Skyfighter, which are the lowest entry models of Rolex, but the quality is not bad at all and the workmanship is not sloppy.
Here we recommend Rolex 20 18 two new oyster perpetual series 1 14300 watches. These two entry-level men's watches have added two dial colors: black and white.
Compared with the colorful decorations in the past, these two models are more low-key, and their styles are not amazing, but they are also quite eye-catching.
It is undoubtedly good news for those cousins who want to buy a new entry-level Rolex.
With a diameter of 39 mm, this watch is the largest in the oyster perpetual series. Equipped with 3 132 automatic movement (undated). It has a 48-hour power reserve and is certified by COSC Observatory. Although it is not Rolex's latest 32XX internal movement, the accuracy of 3 132 is +/- 2 seconds per day. It has a screw-in crown, which is waterproof to 100 m and costs $5,700.
Exploration is invincible, and if it can't, it's empty.
Personally, I prefer Rolex 36mm weekly calendar DD.
If I buy a ghost without a calendar, I will never regret it. Europe and Japan meet at the current fair price. About 53,000 after tax. I can't even see your luck. Much better than all-steel dj for your reference. I changed the tape in Hong Kong. 2065438+I bought it in Venice in March 2008. At that time, it was 47,600 after tax. My watch is more than a second fast.
GMT. The mayor wears it quietly. Did the citizens wear it? Did the price drop? Buy it when you have money. Don't repeat. No money can last a lifetime.
You can buy any watch you want, but you must remember not to look at it. Automatic correction of mobile phone time. You will never miss the train by looking at your mobile phone, but not necessarily by looking at your watch. There is a good chance that you missed the plane while wearing a Rolex.

Rolex Watch The most affordable and popular entry-level watch is Rolex Air-King, with an open price of only 48,300, which is really the best choice among Rolex entry-level watches. In particular, the unique shape of the air fighter makes it no less than some popular explosions in Rolex watches. The most striking feature of the watch is the yellow crown, the green logo design and a big green second hand, which is very classic and eye-catching. In addition to the air fighter, the same classic entry-level Rolex also has this 36 mm Explorer with an open price of 42,300, and a larger 39 mm Explorer with an open price of 50,800. The explorer looks like an air fighter, with the same level 3, 6 and 9. The difference is that the explorer's time scale has a luminous design, and he can still read the time clearly in extremely complicated environment.
