Rolex Green Gold is finally back! The upgrade of the new model not only replaces the model 4131 in the movement, but also has a completely new appearance, especially the new color “turquoise blue”, which is simply exciting. Do you want to know what changes have been made to this classic timepiece? Read on!
The return of Rolex Green Gold
This year, Rolex finally brought the classic timepiece Green Goldback back into our sights. Although the old model once left a deep impression on us, it is what happened in the past. The new Green Goldday (model M126518LN0014) has truly returned to our lives.
The old Green Gold Di (model 1165080013) was released in 2016 and discontinued in 2023. It used Rolex’s own 4130 movement, while the new model was replaced with a 4131 movement. Although it seems to be only a single-digit change, the upgrade of the movement actually means that the performance of the new model has been further improved, which is undoubtedly a very important thing for watch fans.
From the appearance point of view, the recognition of the new Green Jindi is still very high, it can even be said to be higher. Among the three sub-dials in the old model, only the 60-minute counter has the word “DAYTONA” in red above it. However, in the new model, the three sub-dials have been replaced with gold, which echoes the color of the dial and is more in line with the overall style of the new model.
Moreover, the new model removes the red elements in the sub-dial, so that the entire dial looks cleaner and has a stronger visual impact. Although the red “DAYTONA” in the old model is eye-catching, it is a bit inconsistent with the style of the entire dial. Now it is only kept above the 60-minute counter, which is more reasonable.
Moreover, the color matching of the new Green Gold has also been adjusted. The previous black and white combination is classic, but now Rolex has launched a new color scheme of “Turquoise Blue”. It is said that this color will be officially added to the Green Gold series in 2025. This may attract more consumers’ attention and desire to buy.
Because this color scheme has received good feedback from Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual before, consumers love it very much. Some watch fans even joked that if there is another Oyster Perpetual model with this color scheme, they will definitely buy it if they are willing to pay a high price.
Thickness and movement upgrades
What other changes are there between the old and new Green Jindi? Let’s take a look at the changes in case thickness, which is also a concern of many watch fans.
The thickness of the old Green Goldi is 12.2 mm, while the new model is only 11.9 mm. Although this change does not seem obvious, it is enough to improve the wearing experience of the new model, because the thickness directly affects the center of gravity of the watch and the wearing comfort. The thicker the thickness, the lower the center of gravity of the watch. Wearing it for a long time may cause discomfort.
The new Green Goldi has done a very good job in this regard. The overall thickness has been reduced and the shell shape has been slightly adjusted. I believe that both watch friends and watch fans will be satisfied with the new model.
The return of Rolex Green Gold has brought many surprises. Whether it is changes in movement or appearance, we can feel the effort that Rolex has put into this timepiece. The upcoming arrival of “Turquoise Blue” is more like a sweet preview, making us full of expectations for the future.
Conclusion
The return of Rolex Green Gold is really eye-catching. Not only the movement has been upgraded, but the appearance is also more refined. Such changes make people wonder, what do you think of this new watch? Welcome to share your views in the comment area, and don’t forget to give it a like!
