Rolex Datejust is Rolex's iconic and most recognized classic watch line, often called the archetype of the Rolex watch. Launched in 1945 to celebrate the brand's 40th anniversary, it was the first self-winding (automatic), waterproof Oyster case chronometer wristwatch to feature a date window at 3 o'clock on the dial—hence the name "Datejust." This groundbreaking combination incorporated Rolex's key innovations up to that point: the Oyster case (waterproof since 1926), Perpetual self-winding rotor (1931), and Superlative Chronometer precision. In 1953, it gained the signature Cyclops lens (magnifying the date). Available in sizes like 31mm (Lady-Datejust), 36mm, and 41mm, with materials including Oystersteel, Rolesor (steel and gold), solid gold, fluted or smooth bezels, Oyster or Jubilee bracelets, and varied dials (sunburst, diamond-set, etc.), it blends timeless elegance, versatility, and everyday durability with modern in-house movements like the Calibre 3235 (70-hour power reserve).
