Elegance and perfection at Rolex
The Datejust 31 Oystersteel exemplifies Rolex's cohesive and successful brand strategy. The quality of the watches from the traditional workshop has improved over the decades, while the models have been adapted very gently and hardly noticeably to the tastes of the respective times. Rolex doesn't chase the trend, but rather sets it. That's why the Rolex Datejust 31 Oystersteel is considered one of the brand's most elegant watches. Its case has a diameter of 31 millimeters. Thanks to these dimensions, the dial and case offer sufficient space for creative diversity. This can be seen, for example, in the choice between the modern line indices for the hours or traditional Roman numerals on the face of the watch.

The dials also impress watch lovers all over the world with their extraordinary beauty. The different colors are striking, such as the radiant black, the elegant dark gray, the delicate rose or the modern mint green. The radial cut conjures up fine light reflections on many of the dials in the collection. Brushing creates fine grooves that radiate from the center. The light flows gently along each of the fine notches. This creates the subtle, characteristic shimmer, which changes with every arm movement of the wearer. The color is applied to the dial using the PVD process (Physical Vapor Deposition or electroplating). The complete appearance is created by the final, subtle paint job.
One of the most striking and well-known features of Rolex watches is the cyclops magnifying glass. It gets its name from a one-eyed giant from the Greek world of legends. Above the date window at the three o'clock position, the magnifying glass offers two and a half times magnification. This creates a high level of comfort when reading the date display.
