Rolex Datejust 1603 Slate Grey Dial Jubilee Bracelet 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 brand's 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 Featuring a stunning grey pie-pan dial to complement its stainless steel case and engine-turned stainless steel bezel, this example's aesthetic is understated and appealing with its monochromatic color scheme. Additionally, its deep yellow lume plots provide a pleasing contrast against their grey background.
THE CONSTRUCTION Featuring a stunning slate dial and a now-discontinued stainless steel engine-turned bezel, this example's aesthetic is understated and appealing with its monochromatic color scheme and mindful blending of finishes across its stainless steel case, Jubilee bracelet, and bezel.
