The President Watch

Day-Date

The Rolex Day-Date is the watch that is most often seen on the wrists of presidents, leaders and visionaries and is considered by Rolex as an 'International Symbol' of success.

A Rolex signature feature

The fluted bacel

Originally, the fluting of the oyster bezel had a practical purpose and served like the fluting of the caseback to screw with the middle part of the housing, to ensure the watertightness of the watch. Meanwhile, the fluted bazel has a purely aesthetical function and is made exclusively in gold.

Exclusive elegance

President Bracelet

The three-row metal bracelet with rounded elements was introduced in 1956 with the presentation of the prestigious Day-Date model. The President's Band is still reserved for the Day-Date models and some gold Ladies' Datejust models. It is always equipped with the elegant invisible Rolex Crownclasp clasp.

Rocket Science

For a brief moment, I seriously considered starting this short article with a scientific treatise on the production of carbon fibers. However, given my rather limited abilities in the natural sciences during my school days, I immediately abandoned this idea and instead turned my attention to the things that move us all on a daily basis. Watches.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
