President Joe Biden Wearing A Rolex Datejust During The Inauguration.
The watch was also present during his first moments in the Oval Office, when Biden signed 17 executive orders addressing everything from the coronavirus and the environment to workplace discrimination and the census.
The Datejust 41 as the name suggests, it comes in a 41mm Oyster case. Which is waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet). That’s thanks to the brand’s patented Twinlock double waterproofness system. The winding crown screws down against the case to ensure a secure seal. The crystal, with iconic Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock for easy reading of the date, is sapphire. The middle case is hewn from a solid block of 904L steel.
There are a number of dial colours and variations to choose from, including; black, dark rhodium, slate, silver, blue and white. There’s even white mother-of-pearl with diamond hour markers if you’re feeling fancy. All are manufactured in house and feature a subtle sun-ray or matt finish. On the non-diamond versions, the hour markers are in 18ct gold to prevent tarnishing. Hands and hour markers are treated with Rolex’s Chromalight display. This ensures long-lasting luminescence. Even in low-light conditions.
Inside is the calibre 3235. This self-winding mechanical movement is developed and manufactured by Rolex. It boasts 14 patents in total, including the Chronergy escapement. This escapement combines high energy efficiency with great dependability. Made of nickel-phosphorus, it is also insensitive to magnetic interference.
New barrel architecture and superior efficiency means a power reserve of 70 hours. The 3235 carries the Superlative Chronometer certification redefined by Rolex in 2015. This means it is very accurate (−2/+2 seconds per day) and reliable.
The Rolex Datejust 41 comes on either a stainless steel Oyster or Jubilee bracelet. Both feature the new concealed attachment system beneath the bezel. This allows the bracelet to connect seamlessly into the case. A folding Oysterclasp closes the bracelet. The patented Easylink rapid extension system allows you to increase the bracelet length by up to 5 mm. Perfect for those hot summer afternoons when you need to roll up your shirt-sleeves.
