The Classic Elegance of Black Dial Rolex Watches
A black dial will never go out of style. It matches any strap, metal or occasion. There’s a reason the black face turns up on nearly every Rolex model you can think of — from tool watches to elegant Day-Date watches. Rolex produces these watches in two different finishes: high-gloss lacquer that reflects light with a dressier vibe or matte/sunburst-brushed with a more sporty flair. On top of either finish, Rolex’s Chromalight legibility feature glows blue in the dark. Another benefit of a black dial? Liquidity. Black dial Submariners, Day Date, GMT-Master IIs and Daytona watches are some of the easiest Rolex models to resell on the secondary market. Black is as practical a purchase as it is stylish.
