Rolex Datejust 36

For Rolex, as the Datejust 36 will also demonstrate, has always gone its own way, guided not by current trends but by technology, design and functionality. Therefore, some of today's watch collections look almost indistinguishable from their predecessors from the 1940s or 1960s. After all, timelessness is a question of design and style and has nothing to do with age. Thus numerous Rolex watches have become unrivalled classics which, of course, today have more to do with evening elegance than with extreme sports. His first watches, by contrast, Wilsdorf gave to, among others, long-distance swimmer Mercedes Gleitze , deep sea researcher Picard and Sir Edmund Hillary . So the first Oyster swam through the English Channel; the first Oyster Perpetual already existed in 1931. It was also the watch that went to the Himalaya – an event commemorated from the 1970s onwards with the Explorer collection. And the Deep Sea , which today's Submariner recalls, withstood the pressure in the depths of the ocean. The Rolex Datejust 36 pays homage to these watches and is still available in the unchanged design of 1945. It thus sees itself as a classic of Rolex brand history and, for example, as the ideal first Rolex in your watch collection.

Appealing to all preferences: Rolex Datejust 36

Although the Datejust is unchanged in form from the 1945 model, it is nevertheless extremely diverse in design. With the Datejust 36, Rolex proves how much a small change can make. Bracelets and cases are usually made from stainless steel and combinations of gold and stainless steel, whereas the bezels partly consist of almost pure gold or are set with brilliants. The most outstanding characteristic of the Rolex Datejust 36 is its dial. From white, silver, black, blue and brown to pink and green or tone-on-tone patterned dials – there really is something for everyone. As the Datejust is also an Oyster Perpetual, there is an automatic movement behind the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and beneath the dial. Thanks to Oyster technology, the watch is also water-resistant to 100 metres. Furthermore, every Rolex Datejust 36 also comes with the famous Cyclops lens, which makes it easier to read the date.

More Datejust

The Datejust 36 offers ladies' and men's watches of medium size, which are rather masculine but can still be described as unisex. The watches and case diameters of the collections Datejust 31 for ladies and Datejust 41 for men are considerably more decisive.

Frequently asked questions about Rolex Datejust 36

Datejust 36 or Datejust 41 – which size suits me?

With its 36 mm case diameter, the Datejust 36 is the classic choice: it sits in a balanced way on slim and medium wrists alike, appears understated under a shirt cuff and is worn by women and men in equal measure. If you prefer a more present appearance on the wrist, go for the Datejust 41. As a rule of thumb: the slimmer the wrist, the more harmoniously the 36 sits.

Why is the Datejust 36 considered the classic among Rolex models?

The Datejust came onto the market in 1945 and was the first waterproof automatic watch with a chronometer certificate and a date window – it has been the heart of the Rolex range ever since. For decades it was made almost exclusively in 36 mm, which is why the Datejust 36 is still regarded today as the original, classic version. Features such as the Cyclops lens over the date and the Jubilee bracelet designed specifically for it became world-famous with this watch.

How do the Datejust 36 models differ from one another?

The variety is enormous: the Datejust 36 is available with a smooth or fluted bezel, on the Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, and with a wide range of dial colours and finishes. At Uhrinstinkt you will find an exceptionally large selection – almost exclusively unworn watches with a Rolex manufacturer’s warranty, occasionally inspected Certified Pre-Owned pieces. The respective condition is transparently stated on every product page.
