Rolex Datejust 28mm Olive Green 10 Diamond Steel Everose on Jubilee 279171

Overview 

The olive green sunray dial repositions the 28mm Datejust. For most of this case size's history, the defining dial choices were pastels, mother-of-pearl, and white with Roman numerals — explicitly jewelry-watch territory. The 279171 belongs to a generation of Datejust 28 references that have moved the register forward without losing the diamond markers and Everose Rolesor that anchor the category.

The case is 28mm Everose Rolesor — Oystersteel with a fluted bezel in 18k Everose gold. Everose is Rolex's proprietary rose gold alloy, formulated for colour stability that resists the patina shift typical of standard 5N rose gold. Compared to Yellow Rolesor, the Everose pairing reads warmer and less declarative — the bezel and bracelet centre links integrate with the steel rather than announcing themselves against it. The dial is olive green sunray; ten brilliant-cut diamonds replace the standard hour indices. The Jubilee is the right bracelet for this case size — the five-link drape carries the smaller case better than a three-link Oyster would, and the Everose centre links read as integrated rather than ornamental.

The Calibre 2236 is Rolex's small-diameter automatic for the 28mm case, with a 55-hour power reserve and the Syloxi silicon hairspring as its defining feature. Syloxi was Rolex's first silicon component — antimagnetic, temperature-stable, and shock-resistant — introduced on the 2236 in 2014 before the Chronergy escapement appeared on the larger 3235 family. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer to ±2 seconds per day.

Within the Datejust 28 lineup, the 279171 sits in the upper-mid Everose Rolesor tier — below the diamond-bezel variants and full-precious-metal references, above the steel and white-dial Rolesor configurations that have moved softer over the past two years. We are seeing green sunray dials hold value notably better than the traditional pastels and mother-of-pearl options across the 28mm range; buyers entering the smaller Datejust now are doing so on more current dial choices rather than the configurations that defined the segment a decade ago. For wrists that read the 31mm or 36mm as too generous, the 28mm is the proportionally correct entry.
