Description |
ROLEX Oyster Perpetual Date 15210 Watch Box & Papers 2004.
This piece is the horological equivalent of standing at Greenwich with one leg in the West and the other in the East. It is the very last Rolex piece to employ engine-turning on its bezel, while simultaneously being the progenitor of the calibre 3135 self-winding movement that has continued to be employed to this day. It is a piece that harks back to a past, and also a piece of innovation that establishes a future. This watch seems to be the very nature of duality, from its androgynous design to its versatility in the formal and casual. It is certainly a unique piece, and is criminally overlooked. The 34mm dial, which in itself is very rare especially now, is a stunning sunburst silver, with steel appliques including the Rolex crown at the 12-o'-clock position and baton indices at the hour markers which are peripheralised by raised SuperLuminova-applied dots with an impressive teal-green lume. Being a Date, it is of course furnished with a date window, all of which is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, with cyclops lens over the date-box. This crystal is slightly raised from the bezel, which allows the piece to capture light at its periphery and frame the dial beautifully. Mentioning the bezel, it is of course very unique and eye catching - not least because of its light-catching properties. The bezel has been left polished in places above the hour-markers, with a double-tab above the Rolex Crown. This polished element contrasts with the engine-turned bezel to create a great textural contrast, which lends itself to a contrast in colour at certain angles in certain environments. With one colour-tone, Rolex has managed to create a design which is the furthest thing from monotone, a vast world of an array of silver in one piece. These design elements are so captivating that one may forget to mention the other elements of the case and bracelet but these too are expertly finished. The fluted crown is embellished with that signature Rolex Crown that has come to mean high quality craftsmanship and features a screw-down design that increases water resistance, the watch itself being rated at 10 ATM. The softer, more refined than the modern muscular takes on, lugs are finished in a smooth directionless polish. These lead into the brushed steel oyster bracelet that underpins the sportiness of the aesthetic of the piece. Peering at the beauty under the surface, you can find the self-winding calibre 3155 complete with quick date correction. The movement has a satisfyingly smooth sweep, with 8 ticks per second, 50 hours of power reserve and bi-directional rotor. An improvement on the iconic 3055 movement, it carries over many of the innovations which signalised the suitability of the movement for high-precision timekeeping, such as the Nivarox hairspring, Breguet overcoil and Microstella regulating system. This movement is so spectacular, that you can find them fitted on Datejust models today. |
