It debuted the Caliber 3055 movement, bringing the highly practical Single Quickset date feature to the line alongside an upgrade to a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. This makes the 18038 the perfect \"bridge\" reference—offering all the vintage charm of a classic 36mm President, but with the modern durability and convenience needed for daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e​The true highlight of this watch is its magnificent linen dial. The finely etched, cross-hatched textile pattern beautifully diffuses light, softening the all-gold aesthetic and giving the watch an elegant, understated depth that standard sunburst dials cannot match. Featuring the classic \"T SWISS MADE T\" signature, the tritium hour plots and hands have aged to a beautiful, warm vintage patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eBrand: Rolex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eModel: Day-Date 36\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eReference: 18038\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eYear: 1979 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eCase Material: 18k Yellow Gold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eCase Size: 36mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eDial: Champagne Linen (Tritium)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eCrystal: Scratch-Resistant Sapphire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eMovement: Automatic Caliber 3055 (Single Quickset Date)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eLanguage Wheel: English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eRunning Beautifully ✔️ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eScope of Delivery: Watch Only\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eLicenced Dealers 📜\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eLocated in Sydney 🗺️\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eExpress shipping available Australia wide 🛳️\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eAll our watches are guaranteed 💯 Authentic ✔️\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eFeel free to reach out with any questions 🙂\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eCall or text 0406 798 798 ☎️\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Time Xchange Sydney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52701941170457,"sku":null,"price":15990.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/0295\/7593\/files\/Screenshot_20260622_180055_Instagram.jpg?v=1782118448","url":"https:\/\/timexchangesydney.com\/products\/rolex-day-date-36-ref-18038-striking-champagne-linen-dial","provider":"Time Xchange Sydney","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
