Rolex Updates the Classic Datejust

The Rolex Datejust is perhaps the quintessential wear-it-anywhere-suit-or-jeans watch. On the 60th anniversary of the original launch, Rolex presents the Oyster Perpetual Datejust II Rolesor. The new model updates the classic Datejust design with a 41mm case. Available in steel and either white or yellow gold with a fluted bezel, the Datejust II is waterproof to 100 meters. The COSC-certified movement is designed and manufactured in house and it features a Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers. The steel and gold Oyster bracelet is fitted with an Easylink extension link for added wearing comfort.
