All the new Dials for the Rolex Datejust in 2026, and There's Much More than the Green Ombré

Rolex has introduced new green ombré dial variants for its classic Datejust collection, showcased at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026. The new models feature a lacquered gradient finish and are available in various sizes and configurations.
Why it matters
This reflects current trends in luxury watch design and the brand's strategy to refresh its most iconic product lines.
Before we talk about the lesser-known additions to the Datejust collection, let’s have a quick look at what was the star of the show for the brand at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, the green ombré versions (yes, once again, there is more than just one…)
If Rolex mostly talked about this new dial variant, it is for a good reason. It objectively looks quite fantastic. A style that’s been applied for some years already to the Datejust’s bigger brother, the higher-end Day-Date , the ombré dial (Rolex’s name for a smoked, gradient effect) finds its way in the brand’s most classic watch now. As said, Rolex only publicly displayed a 41mm version in steel, with an Oyster bracelet and a white gold fluted bezel, while this green ombré dial is actually present on 8 different references: 36mm or 41mm, Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, smooth or fluted bezel.
