For sale at Debonar Watches: pre-owned Rolex Date 1500 from the '80s, with a peculiar blue "mosaic" dial. The key factor that separates the Rolex Date ref. 1500 from the standard Datejust of the same era is its slightly smaller case. While the classic size of the men’s Rolex Datejust is 36mm, the case size of Rolex Date measures 34mm, similar to the Air-King and Oyster Perpetual models that Rolex was producing at that time. Like other vintage Rolex watches, the reference 1500 Date is fitted with an acrylic crystal (plastic/plexiglass).A bit of its story:First appearing during the 1950s, the Rolex Date offers much of the same design and functionality as the classic 36mm Datejust, but with a smaller 34mm case diameter.The Rolex Date ref. 1500 was produced from the early 1960s through the end of the 1970s.
