-Description

The Datejust is Rolex's signature automatic watch. Its distinctive appearance makes it widely known as a watch that anyone can recognize at a glance.

This model can be said to be the culmination of Rolex's three major inventions: the "Datejust mechanism", which instantly changes the date at midnight, the "Oyster case", and the automatic "Perpetual mechanism".

Reference 16030 appeared around 1978 and was produced until 1987. It is the successor to the 4-digit reference reference 1603, and while it retains elements such as the dial design and plastic crystal, the movement has been updated to Cal.3035.

It has just the right amount of vintage feel while also being highly practical, making it a highly recommended reference for everyday use as a vintage watch.

The bezel of the 1603 series is also made of stainless steel, and it is an engine-turned bezel with finer decoration than the fluted bezel.

The dial is a very rare white-colored "boiler gauge" dial. As the name suggests, it is so called because it resembles the design of a pressure gauge.

The applied Arabic indexes and the scale printed on the inside of the dial give it a unique design.

The white color of the base is also very shiny and has a porcelain look to it. Both the dial and hands are in good condition, with tritium luminescence that is slightly aged.

The bracelet is Jubilee Bracelet 62510H. The length can be up to 18cm.

The movement is Cal.3035. It is the first Rolex men's high-beat 28,800 vibrations watch, which has improved accuracy. It also allows fast-forward adjustment of the calendar, making it more practical.
