Rolex Stainless Steel Datejust Jubilee Watch Review

The Iconic Rolex Stainless Steel Datejust Jubilee Watch

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and recognizable luxury watches in the world. First introduced in 1945, the Datejust revolutionized watches by being the first self-winding, waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window on the dial. For over 75 years, the Rolex Datejust has remained a staple in the legendary Swiss watchmaker's catalog.

Crafted From Durable Stainless Steel

At the heart of every Rolex lies its high-quality stainless steel case and bracelet. Rolex uses top-grade 904L steel that is highly polished to a mirror-like shine. This stainless steel alloy is extremely durable and corrosion-resistant, perfect for a lifetime luxury timepiece meant to be worn every day.

The 41mm Oyster case provides waterproofness up to 100 meters (330 feet), protecting the Datejust's mechanical self-winding movement inside. The Twinlock screw-down crown and crystal ensure the watch remains watertight even with daily wear.

The Iconic Jubilee Bracelet

Paired with the Datejust stainless steel case is the iconic Jubilee bracelet. Instantly recognizable with its five-piece link design, the supple Jubilee bracelet provides a comfortable fit on the wrist. The Jubilee bracelet features polished center links flanked by brushed outer links for a versatile, refined look.

First released in 1945, the Jubilee bracelet was designed specially for the original Datejust launch. Representing style and celebration, the Jubilee bracelet remains a hallmark staple of Rolex's most famous dress watch collection.

Available With a Wide Variety of Dials

From understated monochromatic dials to decorated gem-set bezels, the Datejust 41 in stainless steel offers extensive dial options to match any style or occasion. Traditional choices like silver, slate gray, white or black dials complement the watch's versatile steel design. Or make a statement with the palm motif dial featuring palm leaves rendered in green gold.

Customizable Fluted or Smooth Bezel

The Datejust 41 stainless steel watch comes with the option of a fluted or smooth bezel to surround the iconic Cyclops magnifying date window. The distinctive fluted bezel adds a refined touch and has become signature to the Datejust collection. Or opt for the smooth polished bezel for an understated elegant look.

Displaying the Iconic Date Window

Proudly displaying the instantly recognizable date window with Cyclops magnification lens, the Datejust 41 is available with several date display options. Choose the traditional date display at the 3 o'clock hour marker or offset subdials at 6 o'clock. For enhanced luminosity in low light, opt for the chrome color date display.

Powered by Legendary Rolex Technology

At the sophisticated heart of the stainless steel Rolex Datejust Jubilee watch lies the self-winding mechanical movement. Protected inside the waterproof Oyster case, the Perpetual movement is certified as a Swiss Chronometer, ensuring superb accuracy and performance.

The Oyster Perpetual Self-Winding Movement

The perpetual, self-winding movement harnesses energy from the natural motion of the wearer's wrist. This enables the watch to continually run on a sustainable power source without ever needing batteries or charging. Rolex perpetual movements are crafted entirely in-house and engineered for precision, reliability and longevity.

Officially Certified Swiss Chronometer

Every Rolex timepiece is certified by independent agency COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) as a Swiss Chronometer. This title is reserved only for watches with the most precise movements that have successfully passed rigorous precision tests. By earning Chronometer certification, each Datejust 41 demonstrates excellence in timekeeping and performance on the wrist.

For over 75 years, the Rolex Datejust has maintained its enduring prominence at the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking heritage. Instantly recognizable with the iconic Jubilee bracelet and Cyclops date lens, the stainless steel Rolex Datejust continues the legacy of Rolex's most prestigious and versatile dress watch.
