Hands-on review: Rolex Datejust 41

Switzerland, as you know, is the birthplace of most of the watch legends in the world, such as Rolex and Omega.

There are lots of watches these days that are considered a luxury; these watches are usually expensive; however, some of them are justifiable.

The watch we are viewing today is the world’s first waterproof, self-winding wristwatch, a chronometer.

The Rolex Datejust 41.

This watch is one of the most exclusive timepieces you have ever seen, but when considering the price, we are doubting whether this watch is even worth buying.

Further, in the article, we will discuss all of the unique qualities of the Rolex Datejust 41, and then we will hopefully see if you should buy this watch or not?

Now, if you are ready, let’s get started with the hands-on review of the Rolex Datejust 41.

Overall view of Rolex Datejust 41

We have seen many watches that look classic and they would have specific characteristics; however, when it comes to the Rolex Datejust 41, we stay in the middle.

The design and the durability of the watch are an average classic that you might see every day; however, there is a minor point in the material of the case that leans the Rolex Datejust 41 towards the winning side.

However, the design, not so much.

Although Rolex has particular patents, which pretty much stay with only one style, formal, some individuals would love these watches.

Our heavy criticism of the Rolex Datejust 41 isn’t because it is a bad watch, quite the opposite, the Rolex Datejust 41 is great to watch. However, there are some factors in a watch that we consider to be important, and this watch lacks them.

When it comes to the watch’s unique features, we are sure that this section will impress us because one of the things that Rolex is good at is the features under the hood of the watch.

Overall we hope the Rolex Datejust 41 will get to the spot we want.

Now, let’s get to the detailed review of the Rolex Datejust 41, shall we?

The durability of the Rolex Datejust 41

The Rolex Datejust 41 is made from one of the materials Rolex is proud of for making it.

You may have guessed the Rolex Oyster Steel.

The combination of titanium and aluminum creates the new material that Rolex invented to eliminate the heavy weight of the watches and make them more durable.

As you know, titanium is one of the most vital substances in the world, and the meantime, aluminum is a pretty lightweight material; combining these two creates the Oyster Steel.

Durable metal and light.

The crystal in the Rolex Datejust 41 consists of sapphire crystals; therefore, it is durable.

However, there is one other particular part of the sapphire crystal that we will talk about in the design section.

We must mention that this watch comes in two materials: one is Oyster Steel, and the other is white gold.

There would be price and durability differences; however, having the white gold on the bracelet and the case is a nice touch to the Rolex Datejust 41.

The design of the Rolex Datejust 41

As you, the type of watch we like when we talk about design; however, the creation of the Rolex Datejust 41 is different.

The bezel and the case shape of the Rolex Datejust 41 is the ordinary case and bezel you would see on everyday casual and even classic watches.

However, we would like the watch to have more character-specific treats rather than the standard design that most brands use nowadays.

However, there are some excellent specs on the Rolex Datejust 41.

The Cyclops magnifier glass on the crystal and just above the date indicator is a nice touch for the dial and the watch itself. The next matter is the bezel.

There are some details on the fixed bezel we have to say spice up the watch and make it a tad different than the clichés we see daily.

Another excellent detail this watch has is the carvings of the brand on the sides of the dial, and you have to tilt the watch a little bit to see the carvings.

The design of the Rolex Datejust 41 is decent; however, it’s not Rolex-worthy, in our opinion.

The unique features of Rolex Datejust 41

The first thing that Rolex Datejust 41 has that is considered unique is the Rolex Rolesor.

We mentioned that Rolex makes the Rolex Datejust 41 in two materials, and the Rolesor is a mixture and combination of Oyster Steel and white gold.

This watch comes to three materials in the end, which would be a plus point.

This watch has other features like a power reserve of up to 70 hours in case the battery dies.

The last feature is the water resistance which is decent but not as good as the watches like the Rolex Submariner collection, although it has up to 100 meters of water resistance.

Let’s get to the conclusion and answer the main question.

In the end…

The Rolex has made many exceptional watches and one of a kind in the world of watches.

Although, to be honest, the Rolex Datejust 41 didn’t impress us; after all, it is a Rolex watch in it is considered chiefly asset, and most of the people that purchase Rolexes get them to have a backup asset on their wrists.

The Rolex Datejust 41’s price starts at $10,000 and goes up to $15,000, based on the materials and the diamond addition.

Overall, we don’t recommend you get this watch; however, you have to read the review and, in the end, decide for yourself if you want this watch or not.

In the end, we are delighted that you stayed with us.
