The 89th Academy Awards will take place in the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood Highland Center in Los Angeles on Sunday. Rolex sponsors the Greenroom for the event and Hodinkee posted a few photos of the 100 square meter space. This area is where Oscar winners and presenters go before or after they hit the stage during the show and the watchmaker created a chic environment for them to gather in.

In a four day buildout, their Geneva-based design team spared no expense to offer the celebrities at the event an oasis that includes natural and luxury elements. Photographs of trees line the walls behind the bar with plush grey carpets on the floor. The fabrics used for the upholstery are chartreuse and grey-turquoise colored with modern metallic accents and a Venetian glass chandelier hangs from the ceiling. Photos of hollywood legends - some wearing Rolex watches - line the shelves with wall clocks and screens to watch the show.

With the 89th Academy Awards around the corner, Rolex has added content to their official website to celebrate their partnership with the prestigious award show. The watchmaker took the opportunity to re-introduce their Datejust 41 model in yellow Rolesor with a Jubilee bracelet, a timepiece with a champagne dial that reflects the golden color of the Oscar statue.

This classic Rolex model is now manufactured in a modern case size, measuring 41 millimeters in diameter. Its gold fluted bezel is a signature of the watchmaker and the Cyclops magnifying lens over the date aperture at 3 o'clock adds another iconic element. The yellow Rolesor (a combination of 18 carat yellow gold and 904l stainless steel) Jubilee bracelet adds sophistication to this timeless model for a quintessentially Rolex configuration.

Equipped with a 3235 self-winding mechanical movement manufactured in-house by Rolex, the DJ41 has a power reserve of 70 hours. This Superlative Chronometer features a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing. Inside the caliber you can find some of the watchmaker's best technical innovations, including the Perpetual rotor and paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring. A screw-down Twinlock winding crown creates a double waterproof seal that, when combined with the hermetically constructed Oyster case, gives this timepiece a depth rating of 100 meters.
