While this is not the first time Rolex has surprised us with a colorfully unconventional dial (think back to 2023 and the Oyster Perpetual Celebration with its vibrant balloons decorating the dial), it was perhaps unexpected this year for two reasons. The first reason being that Rolex rarely does what you think it\u2019s going to do &#8211; so it was wholly unclear whether the brand would celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of its treasured Oyster model. The second reason being because we already had a colorful, unexpected Rolex or two in the last five years, at least I would have expected not to see any more so soon. I am glad I was wrong because this watch is very engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dial of this stainless-steel Oyster Perpetual 36 is decorated with the so-called Jubilee motif, a jazzy, multicolored repeating monogram of the word &#8220;Rolex.&#8221; It is based on the Jubilee motif introduced in 1978 in a monochrome gold tone on the dial of a 36 mm Day-Date. That monochrome vintage motif was different from this one, which features no less than ten different bright hues. The intense lacquers are pad-printed, but not all at once, leaving plenty of room for error and much need for the kind of precision in which Rolex excels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new Oyster Perpetual 36 is powered by automatic <a href=\"https:\/\/watchbase.com\/rolex\/caliber\/rolex_3230\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caliber 3230<\/a> with 70 hours of power reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41: the 100th anniversary watch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The real celebration watch is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-41-1.html\">Oyster Perpetual 41<\/a> in a striking stainless steel and yellow gold Rolesor combination (Rolesor is the Rolex word for combining steel and gold in one watch). The smooth bezel and fluted crown are crafted in yellow gold, while the rest of the case and bracelet are in stainless steel. This is unusual as Rolex typically presents the center links of the bracelet of a two-tone watch in the gold material as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"998\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-datejust-41-green-dial-998x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41: the 100th anniversary watch\" class=\"wp-image-70204\" title=\"Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41: the 100th anniversary watch\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-datejust-41-green-dial-998x1024.jpg 998w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-datejust-41-green-dial-292x300.jpg 292w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-datejust-41-green-dial-768x788.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-datejust-41-green-dial-1497x1536.jpg 1497w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-datejust-41-green-dial.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 998px) 100vw, 998px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On this watch we find many elements celebrating the centenary of the model family: the crown features the number \u201c100\u201d in relief; the slate-colored dial bears an inscription \u201c100 years\u201d in place of the usual \u201cSwiss made\u201d designation at 6 o\u2019clock; and each five-minute interval is denoted by a green square \u2013 the color also used for the word \u201cRolex\u201d on this dial. All in all, an attractive proposition that fittingly celebrates the centennial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certified by the freshly strengthened in-house Superlative Chronometer, this watch is also powered by the very efficient automatic Caliber 3230 with its Chronergy escapement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rolex Day-Date 40 with aventurine dial<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"959\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Day-Date-40-aventurine-2-959x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 aventurine 2\" class=\"wp-image-70220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Day-Date-40-aventurine-2-959x1024.jpg 959w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Day-Date-40-aventurine-2-281x300.jpg 281w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Day-Date-40-aventurine-2-768x820.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Day-Date-40-aventurine-2-1438x1536.jpg 1438w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Day-Date-40-aventurine-2-1918x2048.jpg 1918w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Day-Date-40-aventurine-2.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This new version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-day-date-1.html\">Rolex Day-Date<\/a> in 40 mm has two outstanding characteristics. One is the brand-new 18-karat gold called Jubilee gold, which is made of a new alloy comprising gold, copper, palladium, zinc, and silver. This gold alloy comes from the brand\u2019s own R&amp;D team and foundry, a skill few brands can boast. The gold hue is clearly neither, white, yellow, or rose, though I find it has more restrained rose tones than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new alloy is not the only special characteristic: this Rolex Day-Date 40\u2019s particularly attractive dial is crafted in a light green aventurine stone. The watch industry uses aventurine a lot for special dials, but only in very limited cases is it ever made of the singular stone that carries the same name as the man-made glass invented in Murano. The aventurine stone dial is further enhanced with the addition of eleven baguette-cut diamonds as hour markers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-day-date-40-1.html\">Rolex Day-Date 40<\/a> is powered by automatic Caliber 3255.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Cosmograph-Daytona-2-860x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona 2\" class=\"wp-image-70216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Cosmograph-Daytona-2-860x1024.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Cosmograph-Daytona-2-252x300.jpg 252w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Cosmograph-Daytona-2-768x914.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Cosmograph-Daytona-2-1290x1536.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Cosmograph-Daytona-2-1720x2048.jpg 1720w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rolex-Oyster-Perpetual-Cosmograph-Daytona-2.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rolex only introduced one new version of its popular Daytona chronograph at Watches and Wonders 2026, and it features a combination of metals that Rolex calls Rolesium (stainless steel with platinum elements). The platinum bezel ring frames an anthracite-colored Cerachrom bezel with a metallic sheen, which frames the white enamel dial.

Now placed on the flange rather than the bezel, the sailor uses the function with the two pushers on the sides of the stainless steel or 18-karat yellow gold case; while these two pushers make the watch look like a chronograph (which does use a chronograph movement!), they are used to control the countdown functionality. The countdown minute and second hands turn counterclockwise (a first for Rolex) to make the countdown more clearly legible. This system replaces the old Ring Command system, making it far easier to use and much more intuitive to both use and read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Yacht-Master II was first presented in 2007 with the Ring Command system and is now re-introduced with this mechanical upgrade for better usability. It is powered by automatic chronograph Caliber 4162, an evolution of Caliber 4161 from the previous model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rolex Datejust 41<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"911\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-41-100-years-watches-and-wonders-911x1024.jpg\" alt=\"rolex-oyster-perpetual-41-100-years-watches-and-wonders\" class=\"wp-image-70228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-41-100-years-watches-and-wonders-911x1024.jpg 911w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-41-100-years-watches-and-wonders-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-41-100-years-watches-and-wonders-768x863.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-41-100-years-watches-and-wonders-1367x1536.jpg 1367w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-41-100-years-watches-and-wonders-1822x2048.jpg 1822w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-41-100-years-watches-and-wonders.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 911px) 100vw, 911px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-datejust-41-1.html\">Rolex Datejust 41<\/a> comes in white Rolesor (stainless steel and white gold) and offers the brand\u2019s most emblematic color \u2013 green \u2013 in a lacquer that is featured here in a gradient style (which Rolex calls ombr\u00e9) that becomes black toward the periphery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rolex Datejust 41 is powered by automatic Caliber 3235, which also carries the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/watch-101\/master-chronometer-vs-superlative-chronometer.html#toc-title-0\">Superlative Chronometer certification<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rolex Oyster Perpetual 28 and 34<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"918\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/green-rolex-oyster-perpetual-28-watches-and-wonders-918x1024.jpg\" alt=\"green-rolex-oyster-perpetual-28-watches-and-wonders\" class=\"wp-image-70232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/green-rolex-oyster-perpetual-28-watches-and-wonders-918x1024.jpg 918w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/green-rolex-oyster-perpetual-28-watches-and-wonders-269x300.jpg 269w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/green-rolex-oyster-perpetual-28-watches-and-wonders-768x857.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/green-rolex-oyster-perpetual-28-watches-and-wonders-1377x1536.jpg 1377w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/green-rolex-oyster-perpetual-28-watches-and-wonders-1836x2048.jpg 1836w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/green-rolex-oyster-perpetual-28-watches-and-wonders.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 918px) 100vw, 918px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Two new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-1.html\">Rolex Oyster Perpetual<\/a> arrives in 28 mm yellow gold with a green dial and 34 mm rose gold (which Rolex calls Everose) with a blue dial.
