A watch with an instantaneous date rollover should be a given these days, but the change sometimes drags on. Not so with Rolex, and the Oyster Perpetual Datejust offers the most pertinent reminder of this fact, by virtue of its name. The Datejust name is a reference to the fact that Rolex has been making instantaneous and precise date switching watches since 1945. Though we think of this watch with the Cyclops lens, that was only added in 1953, to especially impressive effect in this 2019 watch.
The watch we are looking at this issue is the Datejust 31, which is a 31mm model, and the Datejust 36; Rolex makes the Datejust in all manner of sizes, from 28mm all the way up to 41mm. Rolex has faithfully expanded the Datejust collection over the years, introducing a multitude of dials and material variations. WOW Thailand first identified two 2019 references to make the case for the Datejust 31, and we had to chime in via the Jewellery issue, which is still unique to Singapore.
