Rolex 2022 Day-Date 40mm Meteorite Dial 228239

The Rolex Day-Date 40mm Meteorite Dial 228239 is exceptionally special due to its rare meteorite dial, which is crafted from a slice of genuine extraterrestrial rock. Each meteorite dial is unique, featuring naturally occurring crystalline patterns that are impossible to replicate. This, combined with the luxurious 18k white gold case, makes this model one of the most exclusive and visually striking timepieces in the Day-Date collection.

The meteorite dial on the Rolex Day-Date 228239 is crafted from a genuine iron meteorite that fell to Earth, making each dial one-of-a-kind. The Widmanstätten patterns on the dial are formed by the slow cooling of molten iron and nickel over millions of years, creating a stunning and unique texture. This rare material adds a layer of exclusivity and historical significance to the watch, elevating it beyond a conventional timepiece.

The Rolex Day-Date 40mm Meteorite Dial 228239 is water-resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). This level of water resistance makes it suitable for everyday wear, including swimming and light water exposure. The robust Oyster case and the Twinlock crown work together to ensure optimal protection against water damage, maintaining both functionality and luxury.

The 18k white gold case adds a refined and contemporary aesthetic to the Rolex Day-Date 228239, providing a striking contrast against the intricate meteorite dial. White gold is known for its understated elegance, offering the luxury of gold without the flashy appearance of yellow or rose gold. The use of white gold also ensures durability and a lasting, polished finish that complements the unique patterns of the meteorite dial.

The Rolex Day-Date 228239 is powered by the Caliber 3255, a self-winding automatic movement known for its exceptional accuracy and reliability. This movement features Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement, which improves energy efficiency and precision. With a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, the Caliber 3255 ensures that the watch maintains accurate timekeeping even when not worn for a few days, embodying the brand’s dedication to precision and innovation.
