In a period of great change, people\u2019s relationship with time was shifting. Modern life moved to the rhythm of the passing days and was less connected to the seasons. The&nbsp;Datejust offers enhanced comfort in terms of legibility and daily time&nbsp;management.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:90px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\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 title=\"Rolex Datejust \u2013 Optimised Legibility\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0vhqFlC5X3Q?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=http:\/\/localhost\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n<!-- TEXT HEADING COMPONENT -->\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"midtext \">\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n        <div class=\"row\">\r\n            <div class=\"col-md-8 offset-md-2\">\r\n                <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Cyclops lens<\/strong><br><strong>Optimized reading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Created to improve the legibility of the date, the&nbsp;Cyclops lens is both an aesthetic and a technical brand signature.
