Rolex Day Date: A Timeless Classic

Interesting facts about Rolex Day Date

The Rolex Day Date was launched in 1956. It was the first self-winding and waterproof chronometer watch that has a modern calendar. It’s called the Day Date because apart from displaying the date, it also has an instantaneous day display that you can see in full in a window on the dial. It’s indeed an innovative watch with features that are ahead of their time. And because it’s from Rolex, you can be sure that it’s a very reliable watch. It’s exceptionally precise and it looks very prestigious. It’s no wonder that it has become the ultimate status watch for many.

One of the things that you need to know about the Day Date is that it’s multilingual. Apart from English, it’s also available in 25 other languages. The watch can even tell you the date in different languages. This is part of the effort of Rolex to be more inclusive. But it has also increased the international appeal of the watch. It’s one of the reasons why it’s popular even with people who don’t speak English or those who are not native English speakers.

Variety

The Day Date is also available in many different faces. Many people know it as being a formal watch with a simple dial. But it’s actually available in different dials and some of them are very creative. The President model, for example, originally comes with a plain white dial. But there’s also a version of the watch that has diamonds all around the bezel. The champagne dial for the President is also quite common. It’s perfect for those who are looking for a classic gold watch. This is probably the most iconic version of the Day Date.

If you want the aforementioned watch with diamonds, then the one with the rainbow dial is for you. Apart from diamonds, the watch also features sapphires of different colors hence the name. You can also get the Day Date with a wood dial. This is a unique watch because it’s rare that you see a wooden dial. Needless to say, this is one of the rarest Day Date models. During the watch’s diamond jubilee, Rolex introduced a new dial design. The color of the dial is green. Rolex fans know that the color green is important to the brand.

You can find another colorful dial in the Stella. It is available in green, blue, orange, and other fun colors. The Stella further deviates from the formal look of the Day Date. There’s also the Arabic dial that targets people from the middle east and Islamic countries. This watch is made with platinum because Muslim men are forbidden to wear gold. Another rare Day Date is the one with the Lapis Lazuli dial. Lapis Lazuli is known for having a deep blue color. It’s one of the most sought-after stones.
