While the model comes in a vast assortment of styles including different sizes, metals, bracelets, bezels, and dial designs, what remains constant across all Datejust watches is its time and date functionality. The hour, minute, and seconds hands are always placed at the center while the date window is always found at the 3 o&#8217;clock position. In true Rolex fashion, the Datejust watch is easy to use and operate but there are a few things to keep in mind when setting the time and date. Read on for our quick guide on how to set the date and time on a <a title=\"rolex datejust\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-datejust-1.html\">Rolex Datejust<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"651\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Rolex-Datejust-II-116334.jpg\" alt=\"How To Set The Date and Time On a Rolex Datejust II 116334\" class=\"wp-image-12612\" title=\"Rolex Datejust II ref. 116334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Rolex-Datejust-II-116334.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Rolex-Datejust-II-116334-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Rolex-Datejust-II-116334-768x625.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Rolex-Datejust-II-116334-467x380.jpg 467w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quickset vs Non-Quickset Datejust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier models of the Rolex Datejust did not yet have the quickset date feature. A quickset date feature means that the date can be set independently from the timekeeping hands. Conversely, on a non-quickset Datejust, the minute and hour hands have to be advanced past midnight to change the numeral in the date window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rolex introduced the quickset date function to the Datejust lineup in 1977 with the introduction of Caliber 3035 movement. So if your Datejust was made in 1977 or later and is powered by Caliber 3035 or subsequent movements (Cal. 3135, 3136, or 3235) then it has the quickset feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of when a Datejust was produced, they all come equipped with a screw-down winding crown to ensure the watch&#8217;s water resistance. Therefore, a Rolex winding crown must be unscrewed first before any adjustments can be made.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_Datejust_1601_5D3_7955-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"How To Set The Date and Time On a Rolex Datejust 1601 non-quickset movement gold\" class=\"wp-image-19062\" title=\"Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 (non-quickset movement)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_Datejust_1601_5D3_7955-Edit.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_Datejust_1601_5D3_7955-Edit-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_Datejust_1601_5D3_7955-Edit-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_Datejust_1601_5D3_7955-Edit-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_Datejust_1601_5D3_7955-Edit-585x293.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setting the Date and Time on a Non-Quickset Rolex Datejust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a vintage Rolex Datejust manufactured prior to the introduction of Caliber 3035, then your particular model is a non-quickset Datejust. To set the date and time on a Non-Quickset Rolex Datejust, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Unscrew the winding crown by turning it counterclockwise until it releases from the case.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn the crown clockwise around 25 times to manually wind the watch (it&#8217;s always a good idea to hand-wind the watch while setting it even if it is an automatic movement).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pull the crown out to the last notch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rotate the crown to advance the timekeeping hands.
