Among the many dial variants in the Datejust family, the “Wimbledon” stands out as particularly prestigious. Named for the famous tennis tournament — where Rolex has been official timekeeper since 1978 — the Wimbledon dial features a distinctive olive-green or grey-green slate color with Roman numerals that exudes understated luxury. At Grand Watch Club, our super clone Wimbledon Datejust captures this refined aesthetic faithfully.
The Wimbledon Dial: History and Prestige
The Wimbledon association has been instrumental in connecting Rolex to the highest levels of sport and society. The grass courts of the All England Club, the pristine white uniforms, the strawberries and cream — Wimbledon represents a very specific kind of British elegance. The dial named for this occasion reflects that character: a muted, sophisticated color that doesn’t shout but rewards close inspection.
The Wimbledon dial, officially referred to as a “slate” or “olive” dial depending on the specific reference, is set with Roman numeral hour markers in applied gold (in two-tone versions) or applied steel (in full steel versions). The combination of the textured dial surface, Roman numerals, and fluted bezel creates a watch that looks simultaneously sporty and classical — a uniquely Rolex achievement. Our Datejust super clone collection includes several Wimbledon variants.
Two-Tone Perfection: The Steel and Gold Formula
The Wimbledon dial is most commonly paired with a two-tone case — typically Oystersteel with yellow gold or Everose gold accents. This combination is available in multiple references: the 126303 (yellow gold/steel, fluted bezel), 126333 (yellow gold/steel, smooth bezel), and 126231 (Everose/steel, fluted bezel) among others. The two-tone configuration pairs naturally with the Wimbledon’s warm olive tones, creating a harmonious color story across the dial, case, and bracelet.
Our super clone Wimbledon Datejust reproduces the two-tone effect using a combination of gold-plated and steel-finished components. The fluted bezel — one of the Datejust’s signature design elements — is executed in gold-tone with correctly machined fluting pattern. The Jubilee bracelet alternates between gold-tone and steel links in the authentic pattern.
Roman Numerals: Classical Meets Sports
The Roman numeral dial is one of the most elegant options in the Datejust family. The applied Roman numeral hour markers are set precisely and proportioned carefully to the dial size. The I, II, III… XII progression gives the Datejust a ceremonial quality that works particularly well in the Wimbledon colorway. The Cyclops lens magnifies the date by 2.5x at 3 o’clock — a practical detail that completes the dress-watch profile.
Who Is the Wimbledon Datejust For?
The Wimbledon is for those who want a watch that demonstrates refinement rather than flashiness. It appeals to professionals — lawyers, doctors, executives — who want a distinguished timepiece that announces success without excess. The two-tone and Roman numeral combination has a timeless quality that will never look dated. It works equally well at a business dinner, a formal event, or a relaxed weekend brunch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What color exactly is the Wimbledon dial?
A: It’s described as “slate” or “olive green” — a muted, grey-green hue that shifts slightly in different lighting. It’s not a bright green but rather a sophisticated, desaturated tone.
Q: Is the Wimbledon Datejust available in 36mm and 41mm?
A: Yes. Rolex produces Wimbledon variants in multiple sizes. Our super clone collection includes 36mm versions, which are particularly elegant with the two-tone and Roman numeral combination.
Q: Can the Wimbledon Datejust be worn with silver/white gold jewelry?
A: The yellow gold two-tone pairs better with warm gold jewelry, while the Everose version works with rose gold and mixed metals. For silver jewelry, the all-steel variants of the Datejust are a better match.
