Introduction
Released to celebrate Rolex's 40th anniversary in 1945, the Rolex Datejust has become one of the Genevan Giant's most iconic watches. The world's first wristwatch to display the date via an aperture on the dial, the Datejust revolutionized wristwatch design for decades to follow. With its emblematic Cyclops lens, jubilee bracelet (designed specifically for the model in 1945), and classy fluted precious metal bezel, the Datejust's aesthetic has always been that of pure elegance and class. Perhaps one of Rolex's most recognizable designs, the Datejust has evolved from its dressier roots into a perfectly capable timepiece rivaling the robustness of most brands' sports watches. Featuring a stainless steel case with a screw-down crown and caseback, the Datejust packs an impressive 100m of water resistance alongside its consistently capable movements and construction that have enabled it to become one of the best-equipped watches for daily wear and tear. Available with several different dial options, in a multitude of materials, and across many styles, the Datejust is an inescapable reflection of its owner, with a model out there to suit pretty much everybody's tastes and preferences.

THE DIAL
Nicknamed the 'Wimbledon' dial due to its resemblance to the iconic tennis competition's grass courts, the dial features a sunburst slate grey color with black Roman numerals that are outlined in green, which enables them to stand out against their grey backdrop.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Classic in its sizing, the 36mm Datejust brings a familiar silhouette to the wrist through its heritage as one of Rolex's most famed sizes. Offered with a Jubilee bracelet and domed bezel, this example brings an unusual twist to the Datejust collection.
