The face of the watch that gives away a playful casual look comes with printed, two digit Arabic numerals hour markers in Black, and applied silver-tone Arabic hour markers at 3, 6, and 9 that feature SuperLuminova fill, just like the metal hour and minute hands, as well as that famous Rolex logo at the twelve o’clock position do. The sapphire above it is glare proofed so that there won’t be an issue concerning light reflection, while the luminescent ensures it would remain readable in every light conditions.

Anyway, this handsome watch is also comfortable to wear, too. Despite of being sturdy to bring the feel of a solid watch, its Oyster link bracelet that conveniently fasten with a flip lock clasp is ergonomically designed to comfortably accommodate any wrist’s size. The screw down crown at the right hand side is fluted so that it easier to use. Furthermore, the watch’s 100 m water resistance making it suitable even for swimming so that you don’t have to take it off while taking a bath if you feel like it.

It is true that the Oyster Perpetual No-Date is Rolex’s most affordable series line, however, you can be sure that there is absolutely nothing cheap with this beauty.
