Detailed Features & Upgrades
-
The Dandong 3235 Engine: This true 1:1 architectural clone of Rolex’s modern caliber operates with exceptional precision. It completely bypasses non-functional decorative plates to feature a fully operational 72-hour power reserve capacity, a blue hairspring layout, an independent calendar gear train, and a smooth winding mechanism that entirely eliminates traditional date-setting instability.
-
The Intense Black Dial: The dial utilizes a deep, non-reflective matte black finish to deliver maximum contrast and zero reflection under direct sunlight. The applied geometric hour markers and signature broad hands are densely filled with premium luminous material to emit a long-lasting, uniform blue Chromalight glow in dark environments.
-
Titanium-Grade Case Engineering: The 42mm case is meticulously milled from lightweight alloy to replicate the exact technical satin grain finish and featherweight profile of genuine RLX titanium. The structure is accented with pristine mirror-polished chamfers along the lug shoulders, perfectly matching the iconic Triplock crown protective guards and solid screw-down caseback.
-
Bidirectional Cerachrom Bezel: The 60-minute graduated ceramic bezel insert features beautifully mirror-polished raised numerals and intervals that stand out sharply against a sandblasted matte black background. It offers a smooth, tactile bidirectional rotation with precise click alignment, mirroring the operational mechanics required to track elapsed sailing intervals between buoys.
