The Everose Rolesor Aesthetic: A Distinctive Glow
The Reference 278381 features Everose Rolesor, a signature combination of Oystersteel and 18ct Everose gold. Developed and patented by Rolex, Everose gold is a unique alloy that maintains its pink hue over time, even when exposed to harsh environments. In this reference, the 18ct Everose gold is used for the winding crown, the center links of the bracelet, and the stunning diamond-set bezel. This creates a sophisticated bi-metal look that is softer and more modern than traditional yellow gold, making it a favorite for those who appreciate subtle, feminine luxury.
Exquisite Gem-Setting and Design
What distinguishes the 278381 from standard models is its brilliant-cut diamond-set bezel. Each diamond is carefully selected and set by hand into the Everose gold bezel to ensure maximum fire and brilliance. This 31mm mid-size case is designed to be the perfect companion for a variety of wrist sizes, offering a presence that is noticeable without being overbearing. The integration of high-grade steel and precious metal ensures that the watch is as durable as it is beautiful, suitable for daily wear while remaining elegant enough for formal occasions.
The Heart of the Watch: Calibre 2236
Technological excellence is at the core of the Datejust 278381. It is powered by the Calibre 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This movement is equipped with the Syloxi hairspring in silicon, which is patented and provides a high level of chronometric performance. It is insensitive to magnetic fields and remains stable in the face of temperature variations. Like all Rolex watches, the 278381 is a Superlative Chronometer, having undergone rigorous testing to guarantee a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day.
Dial and Bracelet Configurations
The 278381 offers a diverse palette of dial options that complement the pink tones of the Everose gold. Popular choices include the chocolate dial, which provides a rich contrast, as well as sundust, slate, and mother-of-pearl. Many of these dials are available with diamond hour markers, further elevating the gem-set theme of the bezel. Collectors can choose between the classic three-link Oyster bracelet for a sporty feel or the five-link Jubilee bracelet for a more jewelry-like appearance.
