The Datejust was the first wristwatch with a date window that changed automatically. While we might take this for granted in 2016, in the 1940s this was groundbreaking. It wasn’t until 9 years later, in 1955, that the important magnified “cyclops eye” was added.

It’s the watch of choice for many of the rich and famous

During his ” I Have a Dream ” speech, this classic wristwatch has been worn by US President Lyndon Johnson, Harrison Ford, Jennifer Aniston, and even Martin Luther King during his “I Have a Dream” speech.
