None: 1945
The Rolex Datejust, introduced in 1945, represents the pinnacle of classic watchmaking elegance and precision. As the first self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o'clock, the Datejust set the standard for luxury timepieces that continues today.
Historical Significance: The Datejust was revolutionary for its time, introducing the instantaneous date change at midnight and establishing design elements that would become hallmarks of Rolex craftsmanship. The iconic Cyclops lens, introduced in 1953, made the date display even more legible and became a signature feature.
Modern Evolution: From the 1980s onwards, the Datejust collection has evolved through several generations, incorporating cutting-edge technology while maintaining its timeless aesthetic. The collection spans multiple sizes to accommodate different preferences, from the traditional 36mm to the contemporary 41mm and elegant 31mm variants.
Stainless Steel Heritage: The stainless steel Datejust models represent the perfect balance of durability, elegance, and accessibility within the Rolex lineup. These references showcase the brand's commitment to precision engineering and refined design, making them suitable for both professional and formal occasions.
