The first Rolex made entirely of titanium - original and very wearable

Released in 2023, I had to wait three years at my favorite authorized dealer to receive it: it's produced in very limited quantities. It felt strange at first: so light it almost felt like wearing a costume. On the wrist, you forget you're even wearing it, thanks to its lightness, the slim case, and its short lugs. The brushed titanium has a beautiful shade of gray (apart from a few chamfers), which complements the various shades of black used for the dial and bezel. Note the matte black background and polished black indices, all in ceramic. These shades of black catch the light beautifully, making it a very pleasing watch to look at. It's not a diver's watch, so the bezel is bidirectional. 70-hour power reserve, 100-meter water resistance: a watch that's easy to live with. I could have done without the date and the cyclops lens, but let's not quibble... Regarding the photo taken on my wrist, note that it has a circumference of 22 cm. With its short lugs, I think the watch could easily be worn on wrists of 17 cm, or even less.
