Introduced in 2017, the Datejust reference 126300 sets down the growing evolution within the Datejust line, where technical details are paramount, but so is the aesthetic appeal. The kind of transition Rolex has endowed Datejust with seems to be focused on getting classier with mechanical refinement. This reference, released on the heels of Datejust II, was the first 41mm monotone model with a smooth bezel.

However, once you look past these novel elements, the signature Datejust details flourish – a fluid silhouette, elegant curves, tapered lugs, and a signed crown. Worked up in stainless steel featuring a screw-down caseback that ensures 100m water resistance and a Jubilee bracelet, the watch gives a certain sporty feel while still being appropriately dressy.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
