The Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is a mouthful. That’s probably half the reason collectors began giving this famous timepiece nicknames – just to make it easier to identify. To make things even more confusing, the Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date actually has two nicknames.

However, Rolex’s flagship watch collection does have a few defining features that will always help you identify it with a quick glance. Today, we’re taking a closer look at all the basics you need to know about this watch – from breaking down the name, the nicknames, and all the defining elements. Let’s take a closer look. Originally released in 1956, the 1:1 Super Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date was the first super replica watch in the world to display both the date and the day of the week spelled out in full. Since its initial introduction, this has been the most prominent and defining feature of this watch.

Additionally, the Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is only ever forged out of precious metals like 18k gold or platinum. Famously, the Day-Date has its very own bracelet, called the ‘President’ that you can only find on these replica watches (along with certain precious metal versions of small and midsize Datejust watches). However, despite having its own exclusive ‘President’ bracelet design, you can still get the Replica Rolex Day-Date with other strap and bracelet options.

The Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date has two nicknames. The first is the ‘President’ or ‘Presidential’ – which is now a reference to both the bracelet and the various U.S. Presidents and world dignitaries who have worn this watch over the years. The Replica Rolex President, as it came to be known among collectors, represented luxury, power, and success, which helped skyrocket this timepiece to another level of fame and notoriety.

The second nickname for the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is simply the ‘Day-Date.’ This shortening of the name really cuts to the point of what this watch does and what it’s famous for, especially since nearly every watch that Replica Rolex produces now has the words ‘Oyster’ and ‘Perpetual’ in its official title. The ‘Day-Date’ name is also probably what you’ll hear it referred to most, including official Replica Rolex marketing and informational materials.
