Rolex Datejust 28 | Ref. 279160 | White Roman Dial | Oystersteel

Why we love this watch

Few timepieces distil the art of fine watchmaking with the quiet authority of the Rolex Datejust 28. Reference 279160 is the definitive expression of this legacy, scaled to a 28 mm round case crafted entirely in Oystersteel - Rolex's proprietary alloy renowned for its exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance, and enduring lustre. At the heart of this piece is a lacquered white Roman dial, its hour markers rendered in classical Roman numerals that speak directly to the Datejust's storied heritage. The date window sits precisely at the three o'clock position, framed cleanly within the dial's composition. The fixed Oystersteel bezel frames the dial with architectural confidence, free of ornamentation, allowing the dial to remain the undisputed focal point. Complementing the case is a full Oystersteel bracelet, completing an entirely cohesive aesthetic from lug to clasp. With a power reserve of 55 hours, this is a watch engineered to keep pace with the life of its wearer - present when you are, ready when you return. The Datejust 28 occupies a singular position in the Rolex catalogue: a watch of unmistakable provenance that wears with equal ease against a tailored sleeve or alongside a relaxed, considered ensemble. Reference 279160 in Oystersteel is the purest iteration of that promise - no excess, no compromise. Available now through SASO, Brisbane's destination for exceptional timepieces.
