Why This Watch Matters Because there is nothing better than a no-lume reference 1601. The Full Story Here at HODINKEE, we can’t seem to let go of the Datejust. Sure, we see them often, but at the end of the day, the Datejust is a really great watch. The example we have here features a sturdy, steel Oyster case with a white-gold fluted bezel and a Jubilee bracelet. The dial is nearly perfect and has a silvery sheen, accented by applied stick indexes outlined in black, further setting this watch apart from the pack. This is a fantastic Datejust that won’t disappoint.
