Rolex Date (1500) – Chrono Swiss Watch

Vintage 34mm Rolex Date (1500) The Rolex Date wristwatch was introduced in the 1950s as a more modest sibling to the iconic Rolex Datejust. While both models share similar aesthetics—featuring the signature date window at 3 o’clock with the Cyclops lens for magnification—the Rolex Date is slightly smaller, typically with a 34mm case compared to the Datejust’s 36mm. Initially offered in stainless steel, gold, and two-tone versions, the Rolex Date was designed for those who wanted a classic, reliable, and slightly more understated timepiece. Over the decades, it has maintained its core design with subtle updates to movements, materials, and dial options, while preserving the timeless elegance and precision Rolex is known for. Though not as prominently marketed as the Datejust, the Rolex Date has become a respected and enduring model in the brand’s lineup, appealing to both men and women who appreciate a classic and functional luxury watch. This watch received a service in 2025 and offers years of worry-free wear.
