Differences Between Rolex Day-date and Day-date II
Rolex Day-date, who made its debut in 1956, is the first officially certified, self-winding chronometer wristwatch with an automatically changing day and date on the dial in 26 different languages. Nicknamed the “Rolex President watch” and specially designed as the ultimate reference chosen by the world’s elite, the Day-Date has long been the essence of luxury and synonym of prestige, power, and exclusivity. Later, Rolex Day-date II was introduced as the perfect combination of the innovation and classic elegance which opened a new chapter in a history dedicated to excellence.
Here is the major difference between the two kind of watches.
Size:
The most striking feature of Rolex Day-date II which differs from Rolex Day-date is its majestic 41mm size which offers more grandness than Day-date’s 36mm does. Apart from size, their differences also reflect on the following aspects, namely bezel, dial and bracelet. As for other standards, say chronometer, material, crystal, water-resistance, movement are almost the same.
Bezel:
Rolex Day-date employs both fluted and domed bezel while Day-date II prefer fluted and polished ones or we can say it depends heavily on fluted bezel in that the folds fit well the complex design in its dial which will be immediately discussed below.
Dial:
Dial is quit simple in Day-date sheer with color of white, black or pink. Even the most adorned one is model 118239 whose dial is decorated by rhodium set with diamonds. However it is another picture for Day-date II, whose dial is more exquisite with black or pink concentric design or silver set with diamonds.
Bracelet:
All Day-date II enjoy super-president bracelet while it is president for Day-date for super-president caters for the larger size of Day-date II so as to make a perfect harmony.
In summery, Day-date is more concise with smaller size while Day-date II is more exquisite with larger body, but no matter how different they are, their aim to ensure the utmost comfort to whoever wears them is perpetual the same.
