Replica Rolex Day-Date 128238 36mm Blue Ombre Dial

Blue ombre — a gradient that deepens from a pale center to a saturated cobalt rim — is among the most visually striking dial treatments Rolex applies to the Day-Date. The effect is achieved through a multi-layer lacquering process where pigment concentration increases toward the dial edges, creating apparent depth on a flat surface. On the 128238, this gradient sits beneath diamond hour markers, and the shifting blue tone interacts with the fluted bezel reflections in ways that solid-color dials cannot replicate.

Key Specifications

The 128238 Blue Ombre Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet

The 36mm Oystersteel case frames the gradient dial with a fluted bezel that throws vertical light across the ombre surface, amplifying the color transition. The Twinlock crown maintains 30m water resistance. Lug surfaces alternate polished bevels with brushed flanks in standard Day-Date fashion.

The blue gradient dial deepens toward the periphery, making the center appear to glow under direct light. Diamond hour markers are set at each position, catching light differently depending on which zone of the gradient they sit in — those near the center appear brighter, while outer markers pick up the deeper blue tone. The arc-shaped day window at 12 and date at 3 remain fully legible. The President bracelet delivers the collection’s hallmark wrist presence as part of the Day-Date collection.
