Day-Date Ref.1803 White Buckley

In fact…

The Datdate is launched in 1956 and quickly took over the flagship title from the Datejust as it was the first self-winding waterproof wristwatch ever made to display both day and date spelled out in full. It’s solely made of previous metal and was an immediate success in the market.

The Buckley Dial has this distinct, flat appeal that makes it visually appealing in today’s term. Perhaps, a little minimalist. This is because the Roman numeral markers are painted in flat, contrasting colour against the dial colour. The Roman numeral on the Buckley Dial is also of a particular typeface which distinctively created a Buckley Dial identity. When the Buckley Dial was offered to the market, it wasn’t popular, which means that today, there aren’t many around in the market.

The Reference 1803, like the Datejust, continuously add more visual options, appealing to a diverse customer preference and today’s collectors.
