Rolex Datejust Watch: New Official Video
Rolex has just released a new video titled “The Spirit of the Datejust” just two weeks in advance of Baselworld 2015, and in honor of the 70th anniversary of the iconic Datejust collection, which originally debuted in 1945. Like most Rolex marketing material, the video is clever, entertaining, and remarkably well-written. “Archetype of the modern watch…” that’s just so meaningful on so many levels-and in many ways too true.One of the most interesting things about the video is how little time Rolex spends talking about the modern Rolex Datejust watch collection, with just a few brief glimpses of Rolex Datejust models that you can buy today. In a sense, the video is very much an homage to the Datejust product family name and the history of the collection, along with some of its most distinctive features (such as the date window, and later magnifier lens over the date window).

This is done for style (to remind of a bi-compax layout), but is also there to help keep your eyes on the right dials when you are using the chronograph ti
