1970 Rolex Datejust (Ref. 1603) “Non Luminous Dial”
The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and most beloved Rolex watches ever made, even though the Datejust was launched in 1945 it has remained a timeless classic and is instantly recognizable as an item of refined quality and functional design. The Datejust can be worn just as easily with a suit as it can be with jeans and a tee-shirt.
This specific ref. 1603 from 1969 would make a great start for a new vintage collector or be a great addition to an expanding collection. We love the early Rolex Datejust for its simplicity and its classic sophistication. The engine turned bezel yields a classic and less dressed look compared to a gold fluted bezel more commonly found on the Datejust. In our opinion, the engine turned bezel provides the wearer more flexibility in wearability; such as a casual social setting or a classy event, where the fluted bezel although stunning, lends itself to a more refined and dressed feel. This specific example just received a complete overhaul and is running flawlessly!
