Overall Review

We can’t overlook the reality that most female timepieces are simply small, sparklier variants of their more well-known men equivalents. This is despite brand owners now attempting to appeal to female clientele through creative layouts and an increasing array of complexities.

However, it’s not necessarily as condescending as you might imagine. The Lady Datejust is the best example of Rolex’s approach that female pieces should be treated with the same respect as men’s timepieces.

Among the most valuable types of Rolex timepieces is the Datejust. In honor of Rolex’s 40th anniversary, the Datejust made its debut in 1945. Half a century later, Rolex revived this iconic design and unveiled the Lady Datejust. The product has thus been capturing the interest of thousands of watch lovers with its distinctive date screen. Besides, the updated Datejust is a sportier, more simplified variant.

Of course, the Rolex Datejust 31 is a modernized rendition of the early Rolex Lady Datejust versions. It is the perfect dress timepiece for women who, in keeping with the modern way, desire a watch with a stronger impact. Despite being larger than the 26, 28, and 29mm models, this dress wristwatch nonetheless exudes a strong feeling of elegance and has a timeless charm.

The Mother of Pearl diamonds on the bezel, as well as dial markings of the more luxurious brands, add to this effect. The 3 o’clock display window features a magnified Cyclops lens that enhances the visibility of the face for easy viewing. Clearly, this is what distinguishes all Rolex Datejust clocks from one another.

In addition, the timepiece has stop-seconds, an immediate date with a quick reset, and centralized hour, minute, and seconds markers. 46 diamonds are placed in the 18k yellow gold bezel. The watch also has an automatic self-winding movement with a caliber 2236 that has 31 jewels and a power reserve of 55 hours. The Jubilee bracelet in stainless steel with 18k yellow gold features a secret foldable crown clasp.

The movement’s silicon-based Syloxi hairspring maintains up to ten times more accurate than a conventional hairspring in the event of vibrations. Furthermore, it offers excellent resilience in the event of temperature changes.

Additionally, the movement includes Paraflex impact absorbers, an exclusive technology that guards the balancing wheel. And aside from the impressive power reserve function, the watch can withstand water pressure up to 100 meters. The Datejust earned its name because it was the first piece to feature a self-winding watertight chronometer with a date indicator on display at 3 o’clock on the dial.

Overall, this exquisite Rolex style has a long history that has charmed all ladies over the years. This Rolex Lady Datejust also has numerous functional improvements, including enhanced waterproofing courtesy of Rolex’s renowned Twinlock Winding Crown. It also features a brand-new, COSC-certified, in-house self-winding automatic movement.
