Certified Superlative Chronometers, these new Day-Date 36 watches house the Rolex in-house calibre 3255. This self-winding mechanical movement displays the day and the date, as well as the hours, minutes and seconds. Endowed with several in-house innovations, it provides an approximate power reserve of 70 hours.

In each timepiece, the bezel is set with 52 brilliant-cut diamonds. The iconic President bracelet is equipped with an elegant concealed Crownclasp.

Fortified with the Twinlock winding crown and screwed down case-back, the 36 mm Oyster case is waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet). The sapphire crystal has a Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock o’clock for easy reading of the date.
