The Rolex Datejust 126333 is a modern evolution of one of Rolex’s most enduring and iconic models. Introduced in 2016, this reference brought the Datejust into a new era with updated proportions, a refined movement, and enhanced performance—all while preserving the timeless aesthetics that have made the Datejust a symbol of elegance and reliability since its debut in 1945.
Design Evolution
The 126333 is part of the Datejust 41 lineup, which replaced the short-lived Datejust II. While the Datejust II had a slightly bulkier case and larger dial elements, the Datejust 41 refined the profile with more balanced proportions, slimmer lugs, and a sleeker bezel. The result is a more elegant and versatile timepiece that still commands wrist presence.
This particular configuration features:
A 41mm case crafted from Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold, a two-tone blend known as Yellow Rolesor.
A fluted bezel in solid gold—an instantly recognizable Rolex signature.
A black sunray-finish dial with luminous baton markers, offering a striking contrast that’s both classic and contemporary.
The Jubilee bracelet, originally designed in 1945 for the Datejust, enhances the watch’s refinement and comfort with its five-piece links and concealed Crownclasp.
Technical Advancements
The reference 126333 is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3235, a next-generation automatic movement that introduced:
The Chronergy escapement (more efficient and magnetic-resistant)
A Parachrom hairspring for better shock resistance
An impressive 70-hour power reserve
COSC and Rolex’s own Superlative Chronometer certification, ensuring -2/+2 seconds per day accuracy.
Legacy and Appeal
As a Datejust, the 126333 carries decades of Rolex heritage—being the first wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o’clock, paired with the iconic Cyclops magnifier. The black dial on this model adds a level of versatility and formality, making it suitable for business, formal, and everyday wear.
The Jubilee bracelet further elevates its traditional appeal, while the two-tone Rolesor construction reflects the enduring Rolex formula of luxury and resilience.
