🖤 The Stealth Day-Date: Black PVD/DLC Modified Rolex President Watch

An audacious take on the classic symbol of prestige, this timepiece blends the timeless elegance of the Rolex Day-Date with a bold, contemporary blacked-out finish. Reserved for those who appreciate both luxury heritage and avant-garde style, this is a statement of power and refined rebellion.

Key Features

• Model Base: Custom-finished Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date.

• Case Material: Likely an original 18 ct gold (e.g., yellow, white, or Everose) or platinum case that has been meticulously treated with a Black PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) or DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating. This process provides a scratch-resistant, matte-black finish.

• Case Diameter: The size appears to be one of the common Day-Date dimensions, most frequently 36mm or 40mm.

• Bezel: The watch features the iconic Rolex Fluted Bezel, which has also been coated in the matching deep black PVD/DLC finish, offering a striking texture contrast to the smoothness of the dial and bracelet links.

• Dial: Bright Black or Solid Black Dial providing a monochromatic and highly legible surface.

  • Hour Markers: Applied black or contrasting colored Roman Numerals, maintaining a classic, sophisticated look while adhering to the dark theme.

  • Day and Date Display: Features the Day-Date’s signature Day window at 12 o’clock, spelling out the day of the week in full, and a Date window at 3 o’clock beneath the Cyclops lens.

Technical Specifications (Based on Genuine Rolex Calibers)

• Movement: Likely equipped with a Rolex Manufacture Perpetual, mechanical, self-winding movement, such as the Calibre 3255 (for modern 40mm models) or 3155 (for older models).

• Power Reserve: Approximately 70 hours (for modern Calibre 3255).

• Functions: Centre hour, minute, and seconds hands; instantaneous day and date display in apertures; stop-seconds for precise time setting.

• Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with the traditional Cyclops lens over the date.

• Water Resistance: Typically waterproof to 100 meters (330 feet).

Bracelet

• Bracelet Type: The distinguished President bracelet, known for its semi-circular three-piece links, which provides a balance of refinement and comfort.

• Bracelet Finish: Coated in a matte black PVD/DLC finish, seamlessly continuing the stealth aesthetic from the case and bezel.

• Clasp: Concealed folding Crownclasp for a continuous, uninterrupted look.

Design and Appeal

The deep black coating enhances the sharpness of the fluted bezel and the classic design elements. It represents a fusion of traditional watchmaking excellence with a contemporary, high-fashion sensibility, making it a unique and powerful addition to any collection.
