Best Timepiece For Golfers
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 31
Just like the last rays of the sun piercing the horizon at nightfall, the dial of the new Oyster Perpetual Datejust 31 presents a communion of light and shade. The red ombré dial displays a subtle transition between the fire at its centre and a deep darkness at its edge – a chiaroscuro enhanced by the sparkling diamonds set on the bezel and dial. This is the first time that Rolex offers a red ombré dial, a colour that is highly complex to obtain via the process of PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition). The brand’s dial-making expertise, coupled with the craftsmanship of its master gem-setters, engenders a watch dial that comes alive and shows different faces according to the intensity of daylight or the evening’s shadows.
