ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE 115234The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date
The
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date is considered a classic, unpretentious watch. The sleek, no-frills design is equally popular with men and women. The "
Oyster Perpetual Date" logo affixed to each model guarantees water and dust tightness as well as automatic movement, while at the same time indicating the practical
date function. The Oyster Perpetual Date belongs to the
cheaper watches and is therefore perfect for beginners.
Depending on the installed caliber, the date function works with an
instantaneous or
progressive date switch – the first is a fast-jumping the second a slower "creeping" date change. All modern Rolex calibers have now an instant-jumping date shift – that is exactly at midnight. The date changes within a few milliseconds. Depending on the installed caliber, the Oyster Perpetual Date has also been equipped since 1978 with a quick-changing date. This allows a comfortable setting of the date, without having to adjust the pointers themselves. This feature is particularly useful if the month has less than 31 days and the date must be corrected at the end of the month. Basically, the watches with a four-digit reference do not have an instant date change, five- and six-digit references, have a quick adjustment of the date.
The simple wristwatch, which also resembles its Rolex sibling the
Datejust, is available with a classic three-piece link Oyster bracelet. Older models are sometimes equipped with a leather strap. There is also a choice of materials for the watch itself: There are Rolesor variants in stainless steel with bezels in yellow and white gold, as well as models made entirely of stainless steel or yellow gold. Unlike the Rolex Datejust, the Oyster Perpetual Date has a slightly
smaller case of 34 mm. Also, the dial is a little smaller. In models since 1988 and '89, the caliber 3135 is installed and the watches are equipped with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

The story of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual
The
Rolex Oyster introduced the world's first waterproof watch in 1926. The 1931 patent pending on a permanent automatic winding system was followed two years later by the successful
Oyster Perpetual series, which was equipped with the same automatic movement. Today, the then-revolutionary movement is installed in every automatic watch. The functional wristwatch set another historic milestone only a short time later. On the first flyover of Mount Everest – an expedition that until then was considered impossible – it wrote history on the wrists of the pilots.
Since then, the design of the iconic watch has just changed slightly. The material has been refined over the years, making the watch even more tough and robust. With the
Oyster Perpetual Date watch, Rolex successfully established a version with a handy date display. The Oyster Perpetual Date remained true to the original design but was also subject to
some changes. So it was equipped in the year 1982 with the
caliber 3035 and six years later already with the
caliber 3135 which is built in until today. Also, the sapphire crystal, which is now the standard for all models, was introduced this year. Since 2007, the Perpetual Date models also have a new, extra-sturdy case and especially massive bracelets.
Rolex: The watch of the superstars
Rolex stands for high functionality and sturdiness, but also for unique design and noble materials. It's no wonder that the most famous Rolex wearer is the fictional action hero James Bond. Several models had to go through daredevil adventures on the wrist of the secret agent and have been on the big screen for decades. In Ian Fleming's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", the Rolex Oyster Perpetual is even explicitly mentioned as "The Secret Agent's Watch".
But even in real life, Rolex thrilled many stars. A famous Rolex wearer is Paul Newman and Brad Pitt is a self-confessed fan of the luxury brand. Of course, Rolex also convinces the ladies: athletes like Ana Ivanovic and Zheng Jie, but also superstars like Jennifer Aniston and Rihanna wear different models of the Swiss watch house.
