Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust II Watches

Tweet
Written by Eliot Paz on July 31, 2011 in Rolex Datejust, Rolex Watches - 5 Comments

The Oyster Perpetual Datejust watch was introduced for the first time in a 41mm case. Bulky and elegant, it is a perfect fit for a strong arm. Worn by people in sport and business, the Rolex Datejust II Rolesor timepieces are symbols of successful person.

Rolex launched its first Oyster Perpetual Datejust watch in 1945. It was unique piece of art, entirely crafted in yellow gold. Since then, Rolex has manufactured number of Datejust timepieces, introducing new technologies along the way. Oyster Perpetual Datejust II is the latest watch in the outstanding collection.

Unlike the standard size of 36 mm in diameter, the Datejust II featured significantly bigger case, providing more striking look. However, it preserved entire design of earlier models that had deserved the status of brand’s icon.

First of all, there is the magnifying Cyclops eye and a date window at 3 o’clock position. Another Rolex signature feature at the Datejust II is the gold-fluted bezel, which had been made to protect a case from water pressure, but later became the pure aesthetic element. These watches are crafted in Rolesor, the special association of gold and steel that makes a perfect balance between toughness and luxury.

All Rolex admirers now that the name Oyster Perpetual means the superb quality and the long-lasting tradition. The Oyster case was proudly presented in 1926, as the first water and dust resistant time-telling device. Ever since, its special construction has guaranteed the highest durability. Today, it is water-proof up to 100 meters.

The word Perpetual refers to the self-winding mechanism, which has always been the symbol of brand’s precision. The Rolex Datejust II Rolesor is powered with the in-house automatic movement that developed high resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, thanks to the special Parachrom hairspring. It has made a great contribution to the extraordinary precision and reliability. This officially certified chronometer comprises 31 jewels, oscillates at frequency of 28,000 vibrations per hour and has 48 hours of power reserve.

Toughness and Luxury

Datejust II watches can be bought in two basic variations. The first one (116334) features a Rolesor case (stainless steel and 18 ct white gold), a fluted bezel, crafted in white gold, an oyster bracelet and either a rhodium, black, blue or silver dial. The last one comes with diamond hour markers, while other variations match white luminous indices or either Arabic or Roman numerals.

Swiss watchmaker also offers an alternate look. The Oyster Perpetual Datejust II 116333 is made of yellow gold and high quality steel. You can choose between black, champagne, grey and ivory dial. This model has the recognizable oyster bracelet, with an oysterclasp and easy link.

For those who enjoy life and want to grasp it’s every moment, Rolex provides a perfect match in the Oyster Perpetual Datejust II.

    Like in all previous years, Rolex has still kept up with pure luxury and style. Rolex is still number 1 in the watch world. And it will stay that way for many more years.

  2. Luca Hunt December 31, 2011 at 2:38 PM ·

    Rolex watches are a great sensation when you see them. Great style and performance make this watch so irresistible. Excellent work from Rolex manufactures.

  3. Miguel Perez December 31, 2011 at 2:39 PM ·

    Model with the white dial is the most beautiful from this collection. The movement is absolutely great. I agree that Rolex is one of the best brands in Belgrade and I hope it will be forever because I’m a fan.

  4. Harry January 6, 2012 at 9:04 PM ·

    The Datejust II in slate dial is my definite choice for this new lineup. It is a happy compromise for someone like me who needs a dress watch in a dial other than white (too common) or black (legibility issue at night). And having the Rolex brand name and the upgraded classic Datejust look certainly top it all.

  5. JM Mariotti February 20, 2012 at 6:16 AM ·

    Recently picked up the steel and white gold piece, with Arabic blue numbers. No buyer’s remorse yet! True beauty. A watch that will withstand the test of time, and last my life and beyond.

    Kind regards,
    JM

    P.S. This is my second piece in my “collection”. First is a Submariner, steep and gold, blue face and dial. Glad to know its appreciated, and almost doubled in price since 2003.
