Around 2,000 Rolex watches are produced every day! Rolex is the proud inventor of a spectacular watch models, such as the Rolex Datejust Mens, Rolex Daytona, Rolex Explorer, Rolex Milgauss, Rolex Prince, Rolex Submariner, Rolex Sea Dweller, Rolex Yacht Master etc. The Rolex Datejust Men’s watch is one of Rolex’s best innovations. The Rolex Datejust was launched 1945. It was then known as Jubilee Datejust Model 4467. In the beginning, it was available only in 18k gold first. This model then featured a fine coin-edged bezel, an alternating red/black date figures, a gold edged date window, a tiny bubbleback winder and also a deeply domed back. But in 1954, a dramatic change came about in the Rolex Datejust Men’s Watch was introduced with a Cyclops lens at Basel. This was a great improvement as this allowed the date to be seen and read easily. This Cyclops lens has become a part of the Rolex signature now.? Later, in 1957, another improvement was made to the Rolex Datejust Men’s watch. In 1957, a new movement caliber 1065 was introduced. Now, this new movement caliber was much slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, thus making the old domed back useless. In 1957, stainless steel Rolex Datejust watches were also introduced. By 1962, history had been written. The Datejust became one of the most popular watch Rolex ever produced. The new stainless steel Datejust and the old 18k gold watch were introduced around 1962 and both of them immediately began to sweep the whole world! Rolex realized that there was a large gap between the Gold watch and the Stainless steel Datejust Rolex watches and hence they filled in the gap by introducing a mixed metal model. In 1970, the ever popular 'mid size’ watches were released. Then the 2030 movement, the scaled down version of the 1030 movement was fitted to the watch series, popularly known as 'mid size’. These watches were almost perfect replicas of the Datejust watches and also the Oyster Perpetual. They were available in all metal and dial variations. These mid size Datejust watches have proven Rolex’s success in the European, South American and Asian markets. Most of the success of these watches can be attributed to the fact that they were of an in between size, as a result of which they appealed to both the large women and also the small men. Another change was introduced in 1980′s, with the addition of the sapphire mineral crystal glass. Towards the end of the 1980s, Rolex began fixing their Rolex Datejust watches with sapphire mineral crystal glass. This made the watch more aesthetically appealing, as it made the watch look slimmer. It also made the glass virtually scratch proof, thus lending some practicality to the watch. The Rolex Datejust midsize watch also happens to be one of the most popular and cherished Rolex watches of all time. It is made of stainless steel, with a stainless steel oyster clasp holding it in place. The watch also has a domed, stainless steel bezel that makes the watch look much classier. This watch happens to be very catchy looking and thus, it is perfect for young adults. It even has a scratch resistant sapphire crystal embedded in the dial and a shining Rolex logo that is visible at 12 o clock. This watch is extremely functional and practical and it also excellent eye candy. When it comes to Rolex, the question of quality does not even arise!
