Why This Watch Matters This early Datejust has unusual leaf hands, perfect lume plots, and elegant “stick” indexes, making this one hell of a Datejust. The Full Story This early 1603 Datejust appears to be pretty basic upon first glance, but like everything in life (and watches), it’s all about the details. The characteristics that set this beauty apart are the leaf hands and stick indexes. Both are slightly more refined that other Datejust indexes and create a lighter feel to the watch. The other great thing about this timepiece are the full lume plots, which are rare for a watch this age.
