The first Rolex Datejust was released in 1945. This was an advanced watch for its time as it was waterproof and had a date display on the watch face. The first DateJust watches to be released began the collections history as being one of the most elegant and attractive watches produced by Rolex.
There is a rich history behind the Rolex DateJust. The watch is also sometimes given the nickname “Adolf Hitler Watch”, for example, as it was worn by Hitler during the Second World Way. In 1947 watch was given to a man described by Hans Wilsdorf as amongst the greatest figures of that time. Even today the identity of this man is still unknown.
It wasn’t until 1953 that the date dial of the watch showed an instantaneous change at night – before then the date would slowly start to change a few hours before midnight. This version of the Rolex DateJust also came with a Cyclops lens which allowed the date to be easily read.
The Rolex DateJust is officially certified as a chronometer which is a measure of a watch’s accuracy. It is a self-winding timepiece and was actually the first to include a date function. There are two different bracelets which the watch can be bought with – the jubilee and oyster. Which one you choose is largely a matter of personal taste.
