A milestone in watchmaking history, the Oyster Perpetual Datejust was the first self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o'clock on the dial. These numbers are a reminder that though 24 hours mark a day, it's on us to make those a date to remember.
The perfect embodiment of the classic Rolex watch, the Datejust, launched In 1945, showcased al the major accomplishments developed to that point by the brand. It thus echoed the quest for excellence of Riolex founder, Hans Wilsdon who believed that watchmaking progress should encourage human progress.
