The modern Classic

Datejust 41

The Datejust is one of the most important models in watchmaking history. Introduced in 1945 by Rolex, it was the first wristwatch to feature an automatically changing date at midnight. An innovation that became an industry benchmark. With the Datejust 41, Rolex translates this iconic concept into a contemporary format. Despite its official name, the case measures exactly 40 millimeters in reality, giving the watch perfectly balanced proportions and exceptional versatility on the wrist. Classic design elements combined with modern presence define its timeless appeal. The Datejust represents reliability, precision, and understated elegance and remains one of the most enduring icons of luxury watchmaking.

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.

Legendary Waterproofness

Oyster Case

The Oyster case is a milestone in the history of watchmaking. Invented by Rolex in 1926, it was the world's first waterproof watch case. Bezel, caseback and winding crown are screwed watertight to the middle section. Form and function are perfectly matched - typically Rolex.

In the right time

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.
