Rolex 3135 Description

The Rolex Caliber 3135 is arguably the most renowned workhorse movement in the brand’s modern history. Introduced in 1988, it had a production run of over 30 years, powering iconic models like the Submariner Date and Datejust. Known for its extreme durability and reliability, it featured a full balance bridge for shock resistance and was a COSC-certified chronometer. Later versions were updated with Rolex’s Parachrom hairspring. Its longevity and flawless performance cemented its legendary status.
