Nicknamed “Wimbledon” for green Roman numerals that nod to Rolex’s role as the tournament’s official timekeeper since 1978, this Datejust 41 pairs sporting heritage with classic dress-watch proportions. First introduced on the Datejust II in 2009 and carried into the slimmer 41mm line, the slate dial suits any setting without ever looking out of place.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Slate grey sunray dial shifts across gunmetal tones as the wrist moves, its green-outlined Roman numerals echoing to Centre Court grass and broken only by a single baton at 9 o’clock that balances the date window opposite it. Smooth polished Oystersteel bezel frames the dial with a clean, mirror-bright edge that keeps the look sharp. Five-link Jubilee bracelet sets three polished center rows against two brushed outer rows for a soft, refined shimmer on the wrist.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Screw-down Twinlock crown on the right side unscrews to hand-wind the movement, pulls to the first position to quickset the date, and pulls to the second position to stop the seconds for precise time setting. A 70-hour power reserve keeps it running through a weekend off the wrist, and 100 metres of water resistance makes it worry-free in daily wear. Chromalight lume on the hands and the lone 9 o’clock baton casts a lasting blue glow for low-light legibility.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed with warranty card, warranty booklet, card holder, user manual, and Rolex green and white hang tags.
Few steel Rolex models carry a built-in identity the way this slate-and-green configuration does, which keeps the Wimbledon among the most requested Datejust 41 dials around. A strong pick for a first Rolex or a versatile daily piece in an established collection, it delivers recognizable character without stepping into loud territory. Reach out to secure it today.
