Rolex Datejust 36mm Steel and White Gold

The Rolex Datejust reference 178274 represents a refined interpretation of the brand's most versatile collection, scaled to a 31mm case that balances elegance with wearability. Introduced in 2005, the 178274 combines Oystersteel — Rolex's proprietary 904L stainless steel alloy known for exceptional corrosion resistance — with an 18-karat white gold fluted bezel. The 31mm Oyster case, water-resistant to 100 metres through the Twinlock winding crown, houses a COSC-certified chronometer movement.

The white dial creates a clean canvas showcasing applied index hour markers finished with Chromalight luminescent material for excellent low-light readability. The signature Cyclops lens at 3 o'clock magnifies the instantaneous-change date window by 2.5 times. The fluted 18-karat white gold bezel, with precisely machined ridges, serves both aesthetic and functional purposes — originally designed to secure the crystal while ensuring water resistance.

At the heart beats Caliber 2235, a self-winding mechanical movement introduced in 1999. This COSC-certified chronometer operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour with approximately 48 hours power reserve, featuring 31 jewels, a Glucydur balance wheel, and Breguet overcoil hairspring for enhanced precision. The five-piece-link Jubilee bracelet in Oystersteel features a concealed Crownclasp for seamless aesthetics. Discontinued in 2020, the 178274 represents the final generation powered by Caliber 2235.
