Rolex just dropped a new collection of Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36s at the Watches & Wonders 2021 show. The Datejust has long been a canvas for interesting dials, and now, we have two new ones to choose from: a festive palm motif and a luxe fluted version that pays homage to the Rolex’s famously fluted bezels.
The tropical palm motif can be found on three of the new models. There’s an Oystersteel version that comes on an Oyster bracelet and features the palm motif in olive green, there’s a Rolesor (two-tone) version on an Oyster bracelet that features the golden palm motif dial, and there’s a silver dial on the third version, an Everose Rolesor model with a Jubilee bracelet. On the fluted dial side of things, there’s a yellow gold and steel version with a golden fluted dial, and there’s a white gold and steel and white-gold version with a blue fluted dial.
The Datejust 36 is what a lot of people who aren’t necessarily enthusiasts or into sport watches tend to think of when they think of Rolex. It’s also been a traditional canvas for new dial designs and colorful dial treatments, so it’s no big surprise to see a couple of new dial treatments in the DJ 36.

With the new tropical Palm motif, Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36 has offered another fun design that shows quite a bit of range across the three variations available at launch. I really like the olive dial paired with the Oystersteel DJ. Its plain domed bezel and white metal configuration are the most toned-down of the new releases, and the olive-colored palm dial provides a really fun pop of color.
