The Day-Date is the watch of a global, multicultural and ever-changing world.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At its launch in 1956, the Day-Date was a major innovation: it was the first calendar wristwatch to indicate, in addition to the date, the day of the week spelt out in full in an arc-shaped window at 12 o\u2019clock on the dial \u2013 a technical feat at the time. Made exclusively of precious metals \u2013 18 ct yellow, white or Everose gold or 950 platinum \u2013 and accompanied by its emblematic President bracelet, its multiple dials make it the ideal canvas for self-expression.<\/p>\n\n<\/div> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\n

The Day-Date speaks its wearer’s language<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although the days may be the same wherever you are in the world, they are written differently depending on the language. Using most writing systems \u2013 Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese ideograms and even the Ge\u2019ez alphasyllabary used in the Horn of Africa \u2013 the Day-Date expresses the cultural identity of its wearer. Available in a choice of 26 languages, it is a truly international, universal and personal watch.<\/p>\n\n<\/div> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The miracle of midnight<\/strong>
An ideal of precision`<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When midnight strikes, the day and date simultaneously change in their respective windows on the dial. This watchmaking feat, the \u201cmiracle of midnight\u201d, relies on a disc mechanism. It is the fruit of numerous years of research: from 1950 to 1955 Rolex registered four patents for timepieces featuring an indication of day and date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the Day-Date is equipped with calibre 3255, a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex for a superlative level of performance.<\/p>\n\n<\/div> <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\n

A precious ally<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
