These innovations include their famous “Oyster” case — the world’s first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their “Perpetual” — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. That is those innovations that would form the foundation of the Rolex Datejust introduced in 1945.
