However, it was not the first Datejust watch Rolex had made. The forerunner was the original Datejust, released in 1945.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rolex Datejust II \u2013 The Collections History Revealed | Bob&#039;s Watches\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KDlcAi9g594?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Larger Case Size &amp; Updated Movement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Datejust II certainly reflects its vintage forerunner, but offers a larger case and updated movement. Measuring 41mm in diameter, this watch is available in a range of materials including steel with white, yellow or rose gold. The Monobloc middle case is highly waterproof and utilizes a screw-down case back and winding crown. These components give the watch a waterproof rating up to 100 meters or 300 feet. Though it is not considered a diving watch, its durability allows it to be submerged in water with no effect on the watch.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-6507\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/datejust-II-rolex-watches-1024x530.jpg\" alt=\"Datejust II Rolex Watches\" class=\"wp-image-6507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/datejust-II-rolex-watches-1024x530.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/datejust-II-rolex-watches-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Despite its typical scene in luxurious settings, this watch is still an Oyster Perpetual.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inside The DateJust II<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside, the watch utilizes a caliber 3136 perpetual, self-winding, mechanical movement. This movement powers centre hour, minute and seconds hands on the dial as well as an instantaneous date aperture with rapid setting. Located at the 3 o&#8217;clock mark, the date window changes instantaneously at midnight so the wearer always knows both the time and date.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-6509\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/datejust-3136-movement-rolex-watch.jpg\" alt=\"Datejust 3136 Movement \" class=\"wp-image-6509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/datejust-3136-movement-rolex-watch.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/datejust-3136-movement-rolex-watch-300x221.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Datejust 3136 Movement<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Along with these great features, the watch also offers stop-seconds for precise time setting.
