Stay tuned for more Hodinkee giveaways! Hodinkee in Zenith replica watches Announcements, Linde Werdelin Monday, March 2, 2009 at 1:17PM We at Hodinkee talk about certain models every day here on our site and we assume that our readers know what we're talking about.We realize now that this may not be the case and from time to time we will feature a post titled "Understanding a Classic" where we will give readers a brief over and history of legendary models.The first watch we will feature in this series is perhaps the most well recognized watch on the planet, the Rolex Datejust.The Datejust was first released in 1945 as a continuation of the brand's Bubbleback series.Believe it or not, the Datejust was the very first model to display the date in a numerical format automatically.
Later down the line, Rolex introduced the "Cyclops" date window, which allowed for magnification of the date and has since been introduced to swiss replica watches numerous other Rolex models.Some other innovations that we saw first on the Datejust is a sapphire crystal (which is in effect completely scratch-resistant), a quick set function (which allows you to set the date without spinning the hour hand countless times), and water-proofing.The Datejust was also updated to feature a "Double Quick-Set" movement which allows you to set both the date and the day at the same time, on President models.
