The Rolex Lady-Datejust reference 279384RBR-0015 is a 28mm luxury timepiece featuring a White Rolesor construction, which combines a 904L Oystersteel middle case with a fixed 18k white gold bezel set with 44 brilliant-cut diamonds. The watch is characterized by its sunray-finished dark grey dial, often referred to as rhodium, which features applied 18k white gold Roman numeral hour markers. This model is paired with a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet in stainless steel, equipped with a concealed folding Crownclasp for a seamless aesthetic.
The watch is powered by the in-house caliber 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement that is a COSC-certified Superlative Chronometer with a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day. It incorporates a patented Syloxi hairspring in silicon to provide high resistance to magnetic fields and temperature variations, alongside high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers. The movement offers a power reserve of approximately 55 hours and supports complications including center hour, minute, and seconds hands, as well as an instantaneous date window at the 3 o’clock position magnified by a scratch-resistant sapphire Cyclops lens.
General reviews of the Lady-Datejust 28 highlight its classic proportions and its status as a quintessential feminine sports-elegant watch. Critics and owners alike often praise the refinement of the diamond-set bezel and the comfort of the Jubilee bracelet, noting that the 28mm size offers a modern yet delicate presence on the wrist compared to the discontinued 26mm versions. While it is highly regarded for its durability and 100-meter water resistance, some users note that the highly polished surfaces and the white gold bezel require careful handling to avoid visible scratches over time.
