Originally introduced in the 1950s, its iconic design has barely changed over the past seven decades. The 180xx series represents the second execution of the model, featuring the updated calibre 3055 movement and marking the first Day-Date to include a quick-set date function. This small yet significant upgrade makes the watch far easier to adjust when worn sparingly within a collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe present example comes from the final stretch of 180xx production in 1987. It features a very rare matte black dial, giving the watch a striking appearance compared to the more common champagne or silver variants. The tritium lume plots are all intact and have aged to a beautifully creamy tone, complemented by the cream day and date wheels. There are minor scratches on the hour markers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe case has been lightly polished in the past but remains very strong. The movement has been recently serviced and is running beautifully at +3 s\/day, with an amplitude of 281° and a beat error of 0.1 ms. It comes with its original box, wallet, and guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOne of the most beautiful Day-Dates to come through the Falco door in recent weeks.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56787188908418,"sku":null,"price":12495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/9201\/0882\/files\/ROLEXDAY-DATE3618038_BLACKDIAL.jpg?v=1773943400","url":"https:\/\/falco-watches.com\/products\/rolex-day-date-36-18038-black-dial-2","provider":"Falco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
