The Rolex Datejust is without a doubt one of the most emblematic watches of the Rolex Collection. Maybe more than the sporty Submariner, that is of course a great piece of history. Just one day before, we already let you know about the best replica Rolex 2019 Novelties, however, this was for the sports watches. We displayed to you how ceramic bezels might look on a Rolex Daytona as well and what could be the future editions of the Rolex GMT Master II, with a Coke bezel insert or a Root Beer design. Now we have to move to the dres’ watches.
With a very poor link with the rest of the watches manufactured by the Crown, the Cellini range had always been a sort of ugly duckling amongst the Rolex collection. We never had any attraction for these odd, not very elegant dress watches, My first check was to make sure that the watch still had 3 hands attached. Check. The bezel wasn’t affected. Check. The crown was still attached. Check. Nevertheless, the Cellini collection, for want of a better expression, are simple watches and even if Rolex is not known for creating extremely advanced watches (such as a perpetual calendar or tourbillon), they have a movement that could easily fit a dres’ watch, with an intelligent annual calendar mechanism, that is already powering the Rolex Sky-Dweller.
Since created in 1945, the Rolex Datejust is an icon, surely the most iconic dres’s watch from Rolex. This watch means that this year it will celebrate its 70th anniversary – or jubilee as the industry like to call it. So we’ve basically imagined the comeback of the iconic Jubilee bracelets on the large Datejust II, with its 41mm case. In 1945, Rolex presented the first wristwatch with a date display and quick date mechanisms.
Thus, for the Baselworld 2019 collection, we imagined a Rolex Cellini Annual Calendar, using the same twelve windows to display the month and the date sub-dial of the actual Rolex Cellini Date. It will keep the identical 39mm case and the identical fluted bezel. What we would like to see though is a moon-phase indicator, a quite useless but poetic complication, which would complement the elegance of the guilloche dial. We unobtrusively build it into the date sub-dial at 3. The funny thing is that my eyesight isn’t really that bad; over the course of the last two annual visits to my opticians in London, I have been prescribed progressively weaker lenses. (Yet another thing to feel happy-go-lucky about I suppose.) The price of such a watch would be expected around 27.000 Euros.
It means that you’ll be able to fit such a bracelet on the stainless steel edition (with the flat polished bezel), on the tow-tone version (with its fluted bezel in yellow gold), or the white gold version (with blue Roman numerals and a fluted bezel as well). This will bring this timeless elegance to the Rolex Datejust II that the Oyster bracelet cannot offer. What’s more, buy fake Rolex now realize how to craft good bracelets and stretching won’t be an issue anymore – not like on the old Jubilee bracelets. Utilizing the identical specifications, dials, and bezels, we’re only adding an option between the contemporary (and maybe too sporty) Oyster bracelet and the vintage-inspired but full of charm Jubilee bracelets.
