Rolex Day-Date
Introduction: Every watch has a story behind it, a behind-the-scenes production process, and of course, some lesser-known trivia. Today, we will introduce some interesting facts about the Rolex Day-Date.
1.RolexAdapting to the continuous changes of the times
1977After the year, the case of the Rolex Day-Date gradually entered its“fullest”period., The dial featured numerous semi-precious stone decorations, which also became a focal point for market searches and personalised collections.1988After the year, the Day-Date was equipped withCal.3135movement watches appearing, which were also the final products in this Rolex series to feature textured lugs.2000After the year, the lugs underwent mirror polishing and the traditional curve between the lugs was removed; from then on, Rolex Day-Date watches began to be designated with“11”serial prefix numbers for new releases, and the bracelet clasp was also redesigned, gradually replacing the style that had been used for nearly half a century.2008In the year, the new Day-DateIIappears, with the case diameter increasing from the standard36mm to41mm, while also introducing39mm as a third size for a special commemorative edition, referenceRef.218000,equipped withCal.3156movement, which features a new shock-absorption system.
II.RolexThe first watch with a day-date display was not the Day-Date model
Rolex released in1956the firstDay-DateDay-Date watch, referenceRef.6511. This model features a linear aperture on the dial at the12o'clock position to display the day of the week, while the3o'clock position displays the date.
Prior to this, Rolex had actually decided to discontinue the production of complicated watches, and their earliest watch featuring a day-date function was a moon phase model.
The earliest Rolex Day-Date reference wasRef.6511, which was replaced a year later by the newRef.6611.6611It utilised Rolex's latest1055movement at the time, equipped with a free-sprung balance and micro-stella adjustment screws. This allowed early Rolex watches to maintain an advantage in precision, and starting from the first Day-Date model, the dial featured the inscription“Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified (Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified)”.
III.RolexFrom non-existence to existence, from basic performance to high performance
Early Day-Date watches did not feature a stop-seconds function; this feature was1972added to this Rolex range. The stop-seconds mechanism ensures that the wearer can temporarily halt the second hand when setting the time,,enabling much more convenient and precise time-setting.
Another change made to the Day-Date was the introduction of a sapphire crystal. Also in the nineteen-sixties, sapphire crystals began to see widespread use in watches. This material's crystal is not only less prone to scratching, but also fits the case more closely than traditional acrylic crystals, offering better water resistance. Early Day-Date watches were165feet(50metres)water resistant, whereas modern Day-Date watches are all330feet(100metres)water resistant.
