Rolex Datejust II

The Rolex Datejust is a watch that needs no introduction... However, the Datejust 41 is worth shedding some light on... Introduced in 2009 as the "Datejust II" prior to being renamed the "Datejust 41" in 2016 - this line of watches in the Rolex catalog aims to fill the void that the smaller, more traditionally sized 36mm Datejust cannot. With its increased case diameter (+5mm), the Datejust 41 suits those who long for the classic, timeless styling, and versatility of the Datejust, but prefer a larger size. Simple.  This particular example, a Reference 116300, features a 41mm stainless steel Oyster case with a magnified sapphire crystal, a smooth polished stainless steel bezel, a deep glossy black dial with applied luminous indices and a matching handset, and a stainless steel Oyster bracelet with a signed Oysterclasp with Rolex's fantastic Easylink system. These timepieces are incredibly usable for everyday use, and can easily be dressed-up for formal occasions or dressed-down and worn as a sporty everyday companion.
