the “ghost dial.” An ideal choice for any costume party one might be attending on Halloween, a Rolex ghost dial watch is the result of a unique production defect that causes the printing of the dial to appear to disappear into the face of the watch.
Though Rubber B has spoken about these watches more generally over the month, in this blog post, the company will focus on a specific model of the watch – the Rolex Day-Date 40, model number 228235.
The Day-Date remains one of the most popular models of Rolex watches available today. A reliable stalwart among the company’s many product lines, it has been worn by several American presidents, including Eisenhower and Johnson.
As such, Rubber B thought it appropriate to further examine this watch, including its technical specifics and design aesthetic. With some luck and persistence, one might even be able to find a ghost-dial version of this watch available on the resale market.
What Are The Technical Specifics of The Rolex Day-Date 40 228235?
The Rolex Day-Date 40 228235 has a case size of 40 mm, which is considered to be the industry standard for a men’s wristwatch. The watch is powered by the 3255 movement, which, as with all of the company’s movements, is produced in-house by Rolex. The movement is perpetual, mechanical, and self-winding.
The winding crown is a screw-down that employs another proprietary Rolex technology. This is the Twinlock double waterproofness system, which is seen on all of Rolex’s newer models of watches. It helps to ensure that, should the watch come into contact with water at any time, the liquid is not able to enter the watch and damage the mechanisms or movements within. In terms of water resistance, this timepiece is waterproof for up to 330 feet.
How Does the Rolex Day-Date 40 228235 Fare in Terms of Its Design?
The Day-Date occupies a somewhat unique place in terms of Rolex’s legacy product lines. It is in the middle ground, beautiful but not ostentatious, professional without being austere. That it perfectly exemplifies the brand, in some ways, helps explain this watch’s enduring popularity, as it has been around in some form or iteration since 1956.
This version of the watch has a fluted bezel and comes encased in 18-karat Everrose gold, which is a proprietary blend produced internally by Rolex. The crystal is a scratch-resistant sapphire, with a Cyclops lens over the date window.
