Can someone tell me what the difference is between the Oyster Perpetual Date and the Datejust.

Thanks in advance

DSJ · 27 January 2009, 05:17 AM

Size and movement. I think the date has the 2235? The Datejust has the 3135.

Also different case size: Datejust is 36mm and Date is 34 mm.
In this picture you can see my gold Date (left) and steel (gold bezel) Datejust for comparison.
Best regards.

Isn't the Date a non quick set too?

Nope, my date is quick set. It's a 2002/3 model. Not sure if the earlier one were though.

Greck: my pleasure. Glad you liked the pix.

SLS: Both of my watches are non quick set, being the Date just made in 1981, and the Date in 1982. Both have the coronet underlined on the winding crown.
I guess modern Dates are quick set, but not sure.

The case size on the DateJust although advertised as 36mm is in fact 35mm.

I remember reading a TRF thread with a link to model case sizes.

i have a Date 15210, quickset U serial *1997. I believe all Date, Sub, Seadweller, Datejust Models after 1988 are 3135 Cal. Movements; prior to that i believe the 3035 was used. Therefore, the fundamental difference between date and datejust would be a 2mm size difference.

hope this helps.

Both my Date and Datejust have 3135 movements. The 2 mm size differences is it. However, I believe the Datejust may be offered in more styles than the Date.
