The Rolex Day-Date 40 228235-0025 olive Roman sets an olive green sunray dial with applied Roman numerals in a 40mm 18 ct Everose gold case. Olive sits between green and brown on the spectrum, which makes it the dial that changes the most between daylight and indoor light: grey-green under cool lamps, warmer and almost bronze in the sun. Against pink gold the colour gains depth instead of fighting the metal, and the fluted Everose bezel frames it with the same warm tone. Paired with the Everose President bracelet, the result blends a modern colour with classic proportions.

Rolex Day-Date 40 228235-0025 olive Roman: what the photo shows

Roman numerals mark the hours in applied pink gold, with batons filling the positions the numerals leave open, and the day disc at 12 o’clock is white with black lettering, the one break in the green. The green on this card is a sunray, so the colour runs from near-black at the rim to a lighter centre as the watch turns. Olive is not exclusive to Everose: Rolex also builds it on the white gold 228239, where the cooler metal pushes the same dial toward grey. The reference and the metal, not the colour, are what tell those two apart.

Inside the clone Cal. 3255

The clone Cal. 3255 delivers a 70-hour power reserve and the instantaneous day-date change at midnight, running at 28,800 vibrations per hour for a smooth seconds sweep. Like other Day-Date 40 models such as the 228206 and 228238, the 228235-0025 differs in external execution rather than in internal mechanics. Our guide to the President bracelet and its Crownclasp covers what to check on the clasp and the links. For a darker warm dial at a smaller size, the 128238 chocolate dial is a 36mm yellow gold card, and the broader Day-Date range holds the rest of the dial colours.

Rolex Day-Date 40 228235-0025 olive Roman Replica FAQ

Is the olive green dial exclusive to the 228235-0025?

No. Rolex also fits an olive green dial to the white gold 228239, so the colour appears in two metals at 40mm. What belongs to the -0025 is the pairing of that green with Everose gold and applied Roman numerals.

What water resistance does the 228235-0025 clone carry?

Water resistance: 100 m, the same figure the genuine Day-Date 40 carries. The case uses a screw-down crown and a screw-down back, and the sapphire sits over the dial with a Cyclops lens above the date.
