Rolex introduced the 126334 as the modern Datejust 41, pairing the updated Caliber 3235 with a 70-hour power reserve that its predecessor never had. This particular configuration — blue sunburst dial, fluted bezel on an Oyster bracelet — sits at the intersection of dressy and robust, a combination Rolex deliberately designed for buyers who want one watch for every occasion. The 41mm Oystersteel case wears noticeably different from the 36mm models that dominated the Datejust line for decades.

The 126334 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The fluted bezel is what separates this 126334 from every Submariner and GMT on the shelf. Cut from white gold with sharp, uniform ridges, it catches light at angles that a smooth or ceramic bezel simply cannot. The 41mm Oystersteel case beneath it maintains the Datejust’s historically slim profile — thinner than a Submariner by a visible margin — with a Twinlock crown system rated to 100 meters.
Blue sunburst dials shift tone depending on the light source: deep navy indoors, vivid blue under direct sun. Applied white gold hour markers sit above Chromalight luminous fill that glows blue in darkness. The Oyster bracelet on this configuration keeps the overall look restrained — three-piece flat links, brushed centers with polished edges, and an Easylink extension built into the clasp for 5mm of on-wrist adjustment. For buyers considering the Datejust collection, this reference strikes the balance between the sportier Oyster look and the formality of the fluted bezel.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Both options deliver automatic winding with a date complication and screw-down crown operation. The choice comes down to how closely you want the movement to mirror the original Caliber 3235.
- Swiss Automatic — 28,800 vph beat rate, approximately 70-hour power reserve, hacking seconds, and quickset date. The Chronergy escapement design referenced from the genuine 3235 improves energy efficiency over earlier calibers, which is why the power reserve jumps from 48 to 70 hours compared to the outgoing 3135-based movements.
- Japanese Automatic — Miyota-based, 21,600 vph, approximately 40-hour power reserve with hacking and quickset date. Proven reliability and straightforward serviceability at any local watchmaker — no specialist tools required.
Both wind via the rotor and operate the date through the crown in position two. The Swiss option tracks closer to the genuine 3235 specification in beat rate and reserve duration.
