What wrist does a woman wear a watch|Why the Women's Rolex Lady-Datejust Watch Remains a Timeless Favorite Among Women
Rolex Iconic Lady-Datejust Rolex has long been considered one of the premier manufacturers for men's sports watches, yet their popularity among women extends far beyond this market segment. Although most recognizable for their men's models, Rolex offers smaller-sized watches which may better meet women's wrist sizes as well. Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust watches are among the best-known women's watches available, while also the Pearlmaster series stands out with their feminine yet sometimes unisex aesthetic. Pearlmaster watches are typically 34mm in size and feature diamond embellishment, placing them within the realm of high luxury watches that may be out of reach for many consumers. By comparison, Rolex's Lady-Datejust has an even wider customer base making it the most representative women's watch available today.
Timeless Classic: Lady-Datejust WATCH (the Women's Rolex watch)
First introduced in 1957, the Lady-Datejust's smaller case size made it an instant classic. Notably, one of its first achievements was being awarded Swiss Chronometer certification - signifying quality comparable with that found in men's watches. Since its introduction, the Lady-Datejust has established its presence on the market. Today, many prominent women across various fields are passionate fans of the Lady-Datejust watch from Rolex. Marine biologist Sylvia Earle, one of female golf's most successful player Annika Sorenstam and Spanish tennis star Garbine Muguruza rank third while British sitar musician Anoushka Shankar who has received multiple Grammy Award nominations proudly wear their Lady-Datejust watches while excelling in their fields of endeavor.
Over six decades of the Lady-Datejust's popularity can be attributed to its ever-evolving design and quality, which have increased over time. Modern Lady-Datejust watches feature at least ten distinct characteristics which we will discuss from their exterior.
Lady-Datejust Exterior Features
1. Timeless Classic Design The Lady-Datejust takes its inspiration from its predecessors in the Datejust series, the Datejust, to provide both elegance and durability in its middle case construction from solid stainless steel or 18ct gold, which have both become hallmarks of its identity since their introduction into production in 1957.
2. Selection of Models This series offers an expansive variety of materials, colors and patterns. Dial options may include Roman or Arabic numerals with diamond-set markers or mother-of-pearl options; furthermore the Lady-Datejust offers domed, fluted or diamond-set bezel options as well as bracelet choices like Oyster, Jubilee and President bracelets for easy customization.
3. 28mm Oyster Case with 100m Water Resistance The Rolex Lady-Datejust is the first chronometer-certified ladies' watch from its Datejust family, adapting its timeless aesthetic into a 28mm case size while upholding water resistance of 100 meters, remaining true to Rolex's sporty values.
