Rolex Wimbledon Dial

The Tennis Connection

The Rolex "Wimbledon" dial takes its nickname from the brand's partnership with the Wimbledon Championships, tennis's most prestigious tournament. The slate gray dial with green Roman numerals echoes the colors of the grass courts and the tournament's traditional aesthetic.

Despite its unofficial name, the Wimbledon dial has become one of Rolex's most recognizable and sought-after configurations.

Green Roman Numerals — The defining characteristic. Luminous-filled Roman numerals in Rolex signature green provide instant recognition.

Date Window — Cyclops lens at 3 o'clock, white date disc maintains legibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is it called Wimbledon?
A: Unofficial nickname from collectors. The green Roman numerals and gray dial echo Wimbledon's grass courts and traditional colors. Rolex's official Wimbledon partnership reinforced the association.

Q: Is Wimbledon a limited edition?
A: No — it's a standard production dial. However, demand often exceeds supply at authorized dealers, creating waitlists.

Q: Which bezel is better for Wimbledon — fluted or smooth?
A: Personal preference. Fluted bezel adds formality and light reflection. Smooth bezel creates cleaner, sportier aesthetic. Both work well with the dial.
