Rolex Datejust 36

The Rolex Datejust 36 is a classic, iconic timepiece that has been celebrated for its timeless elegance, precision, and versatility since its debut in 1945. Known as the first automatic wristwatch with an automatically changing date window, the Datejust has set a standard in watchmaking with its innovative design and reliable functionality. The 36mm case size offers a balanced presence on the wrist, making it a popular choice for both men and women who appreciate a sophisticated yet understated look.

Key Features:

• Case: The Rolex Datejust 36 comes in a 36mm Oyster case, crafted from high-quality materials such as Oystersteel, 18k yellow gold, Everose gold, and Rolesor (a blend of steel and gold). The case is highly durable and is water-resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet), featuring Rolex’s Twinlock double waterproofness system to ensure longevity and protection.
• Bezel: The Datejust 36 offers a range of bezel options, from smooth and polished to fluted or gem-set, depending on the model. The fluted bezel, crafted from precious metals, is one of Rolex’s signature design elements, symbolizing elegance and timeless appeal.
• Dial: The Datejust 36 dial is available in a wide array of colors and materials, including classic silver, champagne, black, blue, and more luxurious options such as mother-of-pearl or diamond-set dials. The dial is adorned with Chromalight luminescent markers for readability in low light. Hour markers range from simple index markers to Roman numerals or diamonds, adding to its customizable appeal.
• Cyclops Lens: A key feature of the Datejust 36 is the Cyclops lens over the date window, which magnifies the date display for easier readability. Positioned at 3 o’clock, the date changes instantly at midnight, a hallmark of the Datejust line.
• Movement: The Datejust 36 is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3235 self-winding movement, a COSC-certified chronometer renowned for its precision, reliability, and energy efficiency. This automatic movement includes Rolex’s Chronergy escapement and a Parachrom hairspring, providing an impressive power reserve of 70 hours and superior shock resistance.
• Bracelet Options: The Datejust 36 can be fitted with either a Jubilee or Oyster bracelet, both designed for comfort and durability. The Jubilee bracelet, known for its five-piece links, offers a refined look, while the Oyster bracelet provides a sportier appearance. Each bracelet comes with a concealed Crownclasp or Oysterclasp with an Easylink 5mm comfort extension for easy adjustments.
