Fancy Timing

Cellini dials come in solid lacquer or with a black or a silver-plated rayon flammé de la gloire guilloché motif, with gold applique hour markers and traditional dauphine hands. Interestingly, the minute track is not at the edge of the dial, but instead it bisects the hour markers. The dial is open, easily read and neither too large nor too small.

Powering the new Cellini watches is a chronometer-certified, automatic mechanical movement, manufactured entirely in-house, the 3135, which is one of Rolex’s most reliable movements, given that it has seen numerous improvements and upgrades in order to improve it performance and reliability. Among these is the new Parachrom Blu hairspring, which shrugs off the effects of magnetism and shock. The 3135 calibre beats at 28,8800 vph and offers 48 hours of reserve power.
