Illustration. The seconds hand sweeps, like the real movement.
Why it's interesting
Rolex at full volume: precious metal only, the day spelled out in a window at 12, the date under a Cyclops at 3, and the half-round links of the President bracelet. The 40 mm generation of 2015 also debuted the 3255, the first of Rolex's new-generation calibres with the Chronergy escapement and 70 hours of reserve.

About this page
Verified specifications, checked September 2026
Dimensions, water resistance, movement and crystal were checked against the sources below.
Case (18 ct yellow gold), fluted bezel, crystal (sapphire, Cyclops), 100 m, calibre 3255, President bracelet and 21 mm bracelet width from rolex.com. Thickness 12.2 mm and lug-to-lug 47.2 mm from The 1916 Company (measured on a black-dial 228238, same case). 2015 launch and precious-metals-only line-up from Monochrome. Drawing: the renderer has no day window at 12, so only the date at 3 is drawn; the President's half-round links are drawn as an Oyster-style bracelet.
The illustration is a bezelga rendering generated from the specifications. It is not a photograph and may simplify details such as logos, text and finishing.
