Rolex Datejust 36 Steel 126200 - 2023

Rolex Datejust 36 Ref. 126200 (Steel, 2023)

The Rolex Datejust 36 with reference 126200 from 2023 embodies the pure, timeless essence of the classic wristwatch. As the direct descendant of the original 1945 model, it retains the historically perfect proportions of 36 mm while combining them with Rolex’s most advanced movement technology. With its smooth, high-gloss polished stainless steel bezel, the Ref. 126200 appears noticeably sportier, more minimalist, and more versatile than its fluted siblings. A purist luxury classic crafted entirely from Oystersteel for every day and every occasion.

• Case made of pure Oystersteel (904L stainless steel): The 36 mm Oyster case is crafted from extremely durable and corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel. The elegantly curved flanks and lugs are mirror-polished, lending the watch excellent dynamism on the wrist.

• Sporty-elegant smooth bezel: The domed, smooth, high-gloss polished stainless steel bezel is the hallmark of reference 126200. It gives the dial a clean frame and creates a more understated, modern look.

• Wide range of dial variations: Whether in classic sunray-finish blue, elegant Black, radiant Silver, the highly sought-after palm motif (Palm Dial), or iconic mint green, the applied hour markers are made of 18-karat White Gold to permanently prevent tarnishing and are filled with Chromalight luminescent material for optimal legibility at night.

• Scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal with Cyclops lens: The flat Sapphire Crystal protects the dial flawlessly against scratches. The world-famous lens at 3 o’clock magnifies the date window two and a half times for effortless everyday reading.

• In-house manufacture calibre 3235: Inside, the state-of-the-art, latest-generation automatic calibre 3235 is at work. Equipped with the antimagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and highly efficient Chronergy escapement, the movement offers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours while delivering the highest chronometer precision (-2/+2 seconds per day).

• Uncompromising everyday practicality (100 m / 10 ATM): Thanks to the screw-down Twinlock winding crown and hermetically sealed screw-down case back, the Datejust 36 is guaranteed water-resistant to a depth of 100 metres.

• The iconic Oyster or Jubilee bracelet: This classic is worn either on the sporty three-row Oyster bracelet or the highly elegant five-row Jubilee bracelet. Both versions feature the Oysterclasp clasp with the practical Easylink extension system, providing an additional 5 mm of wearing comfort on warm days.

• A universal dream watch (2023 model): As a model from 2023, this Datejust 36 represents the absolute latest in manufacturing technology. Thanks to its perfect unisex size and timeless look, the Ref. 126200 is considered a highly sought-after, value-retaining companion for life.
