The Datejust Oyster Perpetual took place in the remarkable Rolex history, as the first wrist watch with an automatic date display on a dial. This iconic timepiece for men, with distinctive classic design is a synonym for luxury and elegance.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Watch
First Rolex Datejust watch has been made in 1945. Made entirely of yellow gold, it was a technological achievement, ahead of it’s time. The complete name of this watch, Rolex Datejust Oyster Perpetual, signified the very best that watchmaking industry could make – Oyster case and bezel that protected the perpetual (self-winding) movement from shocks, water, pressure and dust.
Today, this name indicates that Rolex had carried out the pure quality from the past and improved it with the strong touch of advanced technology. New Rolex watches from the men’s Datejust collection are powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135 automatic movement, which comprises 31 jewels and oscillates at frequency of 28.800 vibrations per hour.
This mechanism is the officially certified chronometer, which means that it responded to the most demanding testing by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres), with the highest precision in variety of positions and temperatures. It guaranties about 50 hours autonomy, when it’s not worn.

Classic Design
The Datejust watches possess classic elegance from the past, so prestigious and recognizable that after some modifications in 1970′s, Rolex designers have changed almost nothing.
However, famous Swiss watchmaker offers many varieties in the Datejust Collection. Keeping the same basic design, with the magnifying Cyclops eye and distinctive 36 mm case, variations are based on different materials and colors of a dial, several types of bezel and finally, on different bracelet models.
Rolex crafts its Datajust timepieces in extremely tough and highly polished 904L steel, 18-karat yellow/white/Everose gold, or Rolesor (combination of steel and any one form of gold). Rolex Datejust Oyster Perpetual watches are available with three types of bracelet – the Jubilee bracelet (with three central links, nicely completed by a similar link on both sides), the Oyster bracelet and a leather strap.
The most striking models in the collection come with the Rolex signature feature, perfectly designed fluted Oyster bezel, which had been very functional and protective element, before it became a purely aesthetic element.

I like the model 116139 because it has leather strap. I don’t like watch with bracelet made of steel, gold or something else. Leather is perfect choice for my taste.
