What renders the new Rolex Day-Date 40 watch particularly interesting is that at first sight, it may appear as though it were a minor update, bringing the Rolex Day-Date home by downsizing it by a marginal 1 millimeter in diameter. And yet, it actually accumulated a large number of subtle developments, all performed in an effort to further refine the overall wearing experience. That includes a new movement with hugely impressive, tested accuracy of -2 / +2 seconds per day, an improved bracelet design, as well as new, visually interesting – and of course very high-quality – dials and indices. The Rolex Day-Date 40, as a complete package, is interesting and its beauty is not just skin deep. Given that it is exclusively available in precious metals, I am curious to see when and how these developments will find their way to Rolex's sportier watches like the Submariner or the GMT-Master II.
