The 42mm case of the Datejust redefines modern wearability, striking a perfect balance between presence and comfort. Forged from Rolex’s proprietary 904L Oystersteel—an ultra-resistant alloy used in aerospace— or 18K Everose/white gold Rolesor combinations, the case undergoes meticulous polishing and brushing, creating a refined contrast of light and shadow. Its slim profile fits seamlessly under shirt cuffs, making it suitable for both business meetings and casual occasions, while the iconic fluted or smooth bezel adds a touch of timeless sophistication.

The dial embodies understated luxury with diverse finishes, including sunburst, champagne, and mother-of-pearl. Applied hour markers, crafted from 18K gold (even on steel models) and coated with Super-LumiNova, ensure excellent readability in low light. The 3 o’clock date window, a hallmark since 1945, is enhanced by the Cyclops lens— a Rolex patent since 1953— magnifying the date by 2.5 times for effortless reading. The sword-shaped hands, also in 18K gold, complement the dial’s classic design, maintaining visual harmony.

At its core lies the in-house Cal.3235 automatic movement, certified as a Superlative Chronometer (daily accuracy of +2/-2 seconds). Equipped with a Chronergy escapement and Parachrom blue hairspring, it offers anti-magnetism, shock resistance, and an impressive 70-hour power reserve. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the movement features exquisite Côtes de Genève decorations, reflecting Rolex’s pursuit of precision and craftsmanship.

Paired with either the Oyster bracelet (robust and durable) or the Jubilee bracelet (elegant and comfortable), both fitted with Rolex’s Easylink extension system for on-the-go adjustment. With 100-meter water resistance, it handles daily activities effortlessly. Blending 75+ years of heritage with modern innovation, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 42mm is more than a timekeeper—it’s a symbol of enduring quality, timeless style, and uncompromising reliability.
