Piece by piece, the long-winded name actually tells you a lot about this watch and what it does.<\/p>\n<h3>Oyster:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>This refers to the case, the famous Oyster case used by Rolex in nearly all of their watches. The case, first introduced in 1926, was the world\u2019s first waterproof case. It is defined by its use of a screw down crown and caseback, which together seal it against moisture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Perpetual:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>This refers to the movement, which is a \u2018Perpetual\u2019 or self-winding movement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Day:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>This refers to the day of the week that appears through a window in the top of the dial, between eleven and one o\u2019clock.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Date:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>This refers to the date mechanism which is situated under a Cyclops magnification lens over at the three o\u2019clock location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41629 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date - Platinum\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_DayDate_118209_5D3_6464-Edit-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date Presidential Definition and\u00a0Nicknames\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_DayDate_118209_5D3_6464-Edit-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_DayDate_118209_5D3_6464-Edit-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_DayDate_118209_5D3_6464-Edit-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_DayDate_118209_5D3_6464-Edit-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Rolex_DayDate_118209_5D3_6464-Edit-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Defining features<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Originally released in 1956, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date was the first watch in the world to display both the date and the day of the week spelled out in full. Since its initial introduction, this has been the most prominent and defining feature of this watch.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is only ever forged out of precious metals like 18k gold or platinum. Famously, the Day-Date has its very own bracelet, called the \u2018President\u2019 that you can only find on this watch (along with certain precious metal versions of small and midsize Datejust watches). However, despite having its own exclusive &#8216;President&#8217; bracelet design, you can still get the Rolex Day-Date with other strap and bracelet options.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41172 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date - Everose Gold\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_118235_5D3_4288-2-Edit-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date Define Nickname and Characteristics\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_118235_5D3_4288-2-Edit-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_118235_5D3_4288-2-Edit-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_118235_5D3_4288-2-Edit-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_118235_5D3_4288-2-Edit-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_118235_5D3_4288-2-Edit-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date Nicknames<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date has two nicknames. The first is the \u2018President\u2019 or \u2018Presidential\u2019 &#8211; which is now a reference to both the bracelet and the various U.S. Presidents and world dignitaries who have worn this watch over the years. The Rolex President, as it came to be known among collectors, represented luxury, power, and success, which helped skyrocket this timepiece to another level of fame and notoriety.<\/p>\n<p>The second nickname for the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is simply the \u2018Day-Date.\u2019 This shortening of the name really cuts to the point of what this watch does and what it\u2019s famous for, especially since nearly every watch that Rolex produces now has the words &#8216;Oyster&#8217; and &#8216;Perpetual&#8217; in its official title. The &#8216;Day-Date&#8217; name is also probably what you\u2019ll hear it referred to most, including official Rolex marketing and informational materials.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41174 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date - President Bracelet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_18038_5D3_0279_2_Edit-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date President Defining Characteristics and Nicknames\" width=\"1200\" height=\"786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_18038_5D3_0279_2_Edit-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_18038_5D3_0279_2_Edit-1-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_18038_5D3_0279_2_Edit-1-768x503.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_18038_5D3_0279_2_Edit-1-1024x671.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rolex_DayDate_18038_5D3_0279_2_Edit-1-580x380.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is a mouthful.
