Measuring 36mm across, the Oystersteel case follows Rolex's Oyster architecture — a monobloc middle case joined by a screw-down case back and screw-down Twinlock winding crown for waterproofness to 100 metres. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a Cyclops lens magnifies the date, while the bezel is set with diamonds for a refined, dressy character.
The black dial features Roman numeral hour markers, offering a classic, legible layout with unmistakable formal appeal. Powering the watch is the Calibre 3235, a perpetual mechanical self-winding movement manufactured by Rolex, offering a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing, a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, and a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring paired with Paraflex shock absorbers. It carries Superlative Chronometer certification, reflecting both COSC testing and Rolex's own post-casing standard.
The Oystersteel Oyster bracelet is constructed from three-piece solid links and secured by a folding Oysterclasp fitted with an Easylink 5mm comfort extension, allowing for easy on-wrist adjustment. Reference 116244-0040 is a versatile 36mm Datejust that bridges sportswear and formal dress with equal ease.
