When the first Rolex Datejust was presented in 1945 - the year of the brand's 40th anniversary, it made history as the first automatic waterproof certified chronometer with a date on the dial. The "Cyclops" was added in 1955 to magnify the date display two and a half times, thus making the indication more legible and clear, and this feature became one of the most recognizable Rolex hallmarks of all time.

In 2009, Rolex introduced the Rolex Datejust 36. This line of watches offers the features of the original and iconic Rolex Datejust in a more streamlined and modern design and includes new innovations. One of the most significant differences between the previous version and the new one is, of course, the movement - the Datejust 36 has the honor of housing the caliber 3135, made by the brand exclusively for this model - an in-house movement with Paraflex anti-shock protection, a Parachrom hairspring, a COSC certified chronometer with a 48-hour power reserve, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour.

For good reason, the Datejust is the brand's most popular and recognizable model after the iconic Submariner – and the Datejust 36 allows this popularity to be presented in a contemporary interpretation. This particular watch has a deep blue dial color and luminescent hour markers.

Indeed, the detail of this watch (as with all modern Rolexes, for that matter) is impressive. Starting with the incredible dial (in the case of the watch presented, it is the milky-white color used by Rolex), and the markers and hands have the brand's luminescent coating (which on this model is only available on dials with markers – this is not the case with either the Arabic or the Roman numerals – and this is another plus for this combination). Moving on to the incredible sapphire with the "cyclops" – in this case, the highest grade of the brand's sapphires is used, which has allowed the overall height of the watch to be reduced compared to its predecessors. Of course, separate attention must be paid to the case and the bezel – an incredible combination of brushed highest grade 904L steel with faceted polished edges and details in places (as you know, Rolex pays special attention to the steel used and for this purpose has its own foundries for the production of all its alloys). The bezel is the so-called "smooth" one, which gives an incredible radiance and has a stunning presence on your wrist. And of course the bracelet, or whatever you may call it – as can be expected from a Rolex, it is truly good... In this case, it is the new bracelet with a solid center link and a solid clasp, crafted from a single block of steel (and not from bent sheet metal, as is the case with most brands) – the only thing it lacks (but perhaps only in our opinion) is the Sub's GlideLock clasp, but here the so-called EasyLink is fitted, which allows for micro-adjustment with an additional 5 - 20mm at the lugs, and its full size includes 5 links towards the "6 o'clock" side of the case (of which 2 are removable) and 7 links towards the "12 o'clock" side (of which 4 are removable) – in the case of this watch, all links are present and this is now sufficient for a wrist of at least 22 cm without the micro-adjustment.
