The new Rolex watches that were presented this year in autumn 2020 also include new versions of the Datejust 31 mm series with the reference 278274. In detail, this is a variant of the dial in shiny mint green or shiny dark gray (radial cut ) with line indices and another variant with a white lacquered dial and Roman indices. The mint green and the dark gray Datejust have the Jubile bracelet, the white Roman Datejust have the Oyster bracelet. Alternatively, the bands can also be swapped.
Precise like a Swiss clockwork
The new Datejust 31 mm with reference 278274 also have the COSC and Rolex's own certification because they have an accuracy of +/- 2 seconds. This is measured after the clockwork has been cased. The caliber used in all of them is the 2236, which allows the time and date to be displayed simultaneously at the 3 o'clock position. Thanks to the built-in spring bearing, the watch has a power reserve of around 55 hours.
A real eye-catcher among wristwatches
When it comes to the variants of the new Datejust 31 mm reference 278274, the optics are the decisive factor. In the mint green and dark gray versions, the line indices used are made of Chromalight with an 18-carat white gold setting. On the Datejust with the white Roman dial, the Roman numerals are made entirely of 18-carat white gold. The dials are rounded off by the fluted bezel. This is a remnant of days gone by, when the fluting allowed the bezel to be better screwed to the middle section to ensure water resistance. The new Datejust reference 278274 are waterproof up to 10 bar.
