Launched in 1945, the Rolex Datejust was the first wristwatch to feature a date function, and remains popular to this day.

 

The basic Datejust watch arrives in a 36mm oyster case with a perpetual, self-winding, mechanical movement. The crystal is scratch-resistant, with a 2.5x Cyclops lens over the date window.

 

From there on in, the imagination of the Rolex designers takes over, meaning that the Datejust is available in dozens of combinations, creating a watch to suit the lifestyle and personality of the buyer. It is, Rolex tells us, “the watch of reference for those who believe that elegance is timeless”.

 

The dial itself comes in six different options, three of which involve setting with diamonds. The buyer can also choose two different bracelets, a fluted or domed bezel, all in combinations of steel and two types of gold.

 

That means the “basic” Datejust is affordable to a budget collector, with the very top of the range selling for many thousands of pounds.

 

Ask Men magazine says it’s one of the few watches in the world that can “do it all”, being more refined than the Rolex Submariner. One of the most popular premium watches in the world, Ask Men tells us it’s been worn by “countless presidents, dictators, rap stars, and general bons vivants over the years”. Its simple style means it “really does look just as good with a T-shirt and jeans as it does with a three-piece”.
