The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust is a certified, self-winding chronometer wristwatch manufactured by Rolex. When it was launched in 1945, the Datejust was the first wristwatch with a date function. The Datejust is offered with two classic Rolex bracelets: the jubilee and the oyster. The original Datejust was launched with a bezel size of 36mm. Later, however, ladies' and mid-sized versions became available. The Turn-o-Graph model was introduced in 1955 as an award given to US Air Force pilots returning from combat missions. It featured a rotating bezel marked to 60 minutes, which can be used to measure time intervals. Datejusts of this type have been nicknamed "Thunderbirds". Chuck Yeager wore one of these models when he broke the sound barrier.〔 This would be the basis for the Rolex Explorer (designed for Sir Edmund Hillary's Mount Everest expedition), the Rolex Submariner, and the Rolex Sea Dweller.〔 In 2009, the Oyster Perpetual Datejust II was released. Its case is bigger than the standard Datejust and it also features an updated movement. The men's size is 41mm diameter and it is only available in steel with white, yellow or rose gold on an Oyster bracelet. == In popular culture == Several of the male characters in the movie ''The Informers'' wear the Rolex Datejust. In the movie ''American Psycho'', Patrick Bateman wears the Rolex Datejust 16013. Both are adaptations of Bret Easton Ellis novels. Paul Newman is seen wearing a Datejust in the film ''The Color of Money''. Bill Murray wears a Datejust with a black dial in the movie ''Lost in Translation''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rolex Datejust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
