unlike oyster watches, rolex cellini collection has less popularity, but they have much loyal watch fans. rolex cellini includes three models. the hottest cellini model is generally know as Dual time. it sits next to the cellini Date and cellini time models that are also new this year.
Different rolex models are more or less popular in different places. in the united states, the cellini has certainly been among the least popular rolex pieces because the us is primarily a sport watch or at least casual watch market. the cellini is very distinctly a formal Dress watch, that in the us has been mostly over-looked because our dress watch market is dominated by rolex Datejust and Day/Date watches (they are belongs to oyster collections). not to mention the fact that in the us it is completely acceptable to wear a submariner with a suit. so where has rolex taken this new cellini family?
with a 39mm-wide precious metal case, the new cellini is the tuxedo-to-the-office suite of rolex replica watches. more formal than the oyster Datejust, the cellini has a thinner case and more traditional design that, for the first time, has style cues to the oyster case. in fact, the cellini has been an odd man out in the rolex world for not having an oyster case. that means it has 50 meters of water resistance, but in many ways is just as dedicated to long-term durability. of course, the most notable “oyster-like” style feature is the diminutive fluted bezel and caseback.
in other aspects, this is the mainstream, slim, classic timepiece that rolex has been missing. the most basic version is the cellini time, with just the time, but for me the most interesting versions are the cellini Date and this cellini Dual time because they add elements that rolex does not offer in other models. as is common on many cheap rolex watches the caseback of the cellini is devoid of any text and in this case is rounded and polished in a classic form.
those who familiar with rolex know that not only does the cellini have a new case, but it also offers the only dual time complication in the rolex watch family. obviously this is similar to a Gmt complication, but they are a little bit different, as for many people a Dual time watch is more convenient to read if you are merely interested in the time where you are and at home. in this aspect, i think more fans will agreed with my the cellini performance much better.
the way it works is simple, the dual time complication is based on a module over a base in-house made replica rolex movement. the main dial has an hour, minute, and seconds hand for the local time.
