These models showed up in the late 70s and offer the added functionality of a higher-beat movement for accuracy and a quick-set date mechanism. They retain the classic 36mm case proportion of their predecessors and have similar variation for dial, bezel, and bracelet configurations. Luminous models also retain Tritium material, offering tremendous opportunities for unique characteristics of patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular watch, a Reference 16220 dating to circa 1989, features an unbelievable cream dial with applied Roman indices and Tritium luminous plots with a matching handset. Fitted with an engine turned steel bezel and a solid link Oyster bracelet, this watch straddles the line between vintage design \u0026amp; materials and a very contemporary look brilliantly. The very definition of Neo-Vintage!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Datejust Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've said it over and over again - the Datejust may just be the perfect watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoupling perfect proportions, simple dial layouts, and robust movements, Rolex's most prolific model is an icon of timekeeping that has been in continuous production for decades. Moreover, the Datejust is all the watch that just about any of us really \u003cem\u003eneed\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beauty of the Datejust is that it is the ultimate do-anything, go-anywhere watch. Equal parts sporty and dressy, the Datejust wears just as well with jeans as it does with a suit, and thanks to the signature Oyster case and tough-as-nails movement, it’s ready for anything that you can throw at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn production continuously since 1945, the original Datejust was the world's first wristwatch to incorporate a date disc and aperture at the 3:00 position. Since then, date windows at 3:00 have become commonplace, and the Rolex cyclops magnifier bubble has become a hallmark of the brand. Datejusts have proudly been worn by presidents, athletes and movie stars (and probably your grandfather), in a testament to how timeless and versatile the watch truly is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile recent horological trends have favored larger sporty wristwatches, the age of the giant watch is drawing to a close, making more reasonably sized watches like the original Datejust, a pleasantly stylish option that fits the bill in every setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a magic to the Datejust's simple design, a timelessness that proves that true style never dies. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32347951071319,"sku":"40920018","price":6250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/ROLEX_DATEJUST-QUICKSET-CREAM-ROMANDIAL_16220_AS03762-8.jpg?v=1600902283","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/rolex-datejust-quickset-as03762","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
