Datejust: Models, prices and the exclusive Lady-Datejust

Rolex stands for its iconic aesthetics, which can be seen in the Rolex Datejust model. The Datejust model is the archetype of the classic wristwatch and stands for timeless aesthetics and functionality. In 1945, the Datejust was first introduced to the market and is still considered an innovation of the time today. The movements of the new generations are calibers 2236 and 3235 and represent fundamental advances in precision, power reserve, shock resistance, resistance to magnetic fields, ease of use and reliability. The green seal on the watches stands for certification as a chronometer of superlatives (COSC + Rolex certification after casing). Features of Rolex watches are the fluted bezel, the Jubilee strap and the Cycloplupe. The Jubilee bracelet ensures a high degree of comfort with flowing contours.

Datejust 31

The Datejust 31 is the little sister of the other two Datejust watches. With its 31mm diameter and the caliber 2236 it is in no way inferior to the other two.

The watch withstands the water up to a depth of 100m. The movement is a caliber 2236, a mechanical manufacture movement with automatic self-winding mechanism, which can be wound in both directions and has a perpetual rotor. Once the movement is set, the rate accuracy is +/- 2 seconds. The white rosor is a combination of stainless steel Oystersteel and 18 carat white gold
