5 Best Rolex for Everyday Wear | The Watch Club by SwissWatchExpo

While watch collecting is fun, there’s also something to be said about having just one watch that offers everything you need. Rolex is top of mind when it comes to choosing a daily beater, but the Crown sure has an amazingly large spectrum of watches available – how do you choose which watch to wear for everyday?

We’ve chosen five of the most wearable Rolex watches for this guide. Classic and versatile, you’re sure to find one that meets your personal style.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm Automatic Steel Mens Watch 114300

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 is perfect if you’re looking for a time-only number in stainless steel.

It takes the best of Rolex design – the Oyster case, the Oyster bracelet and the classic dial – and pares them back to basics, making it well suited for any occasion. You can wear this to the office, to a weekend hike, and even to a formal occasion, and it will look right at home. With a water resistance of 100 meters, it’s also impermeable enough for light sports activities.

Rolex Explorer II 40mm White Dial Steel Mens Watch 16570

Rolex Explorer II

If you’re an active person and tend to lean towards sportier watches, the Rolex Explorer II is the one for you. Created for spelunkers and cave explorers, the legibility of the Explorer II is profound – the black dial, large lume plots and colored 24-hour hand gives the information you need in one quick glance.

Built tough to withstand the elements, it will keep perfect time through any of your activities. Choose between the latest 42mm Orange Hand (ref 216570) or its predecessor, the 40mm version with the red hand (ref 16570).

Rolex Milgauss Black Dial Steel Watch 116400 (with Rolex Oyster Perpetual)

Rolex Milgauss

If you want a daily watch that’s more distinct and fun, then go for the Rolex Milgauss. Offering the precision and reliability of a Rolex sports watch without the ubiquity of its most famous models, the Milgauss is sure to make an impression wherever you wear it.

Launched in 1954, and revived in 2007, it heralded the dawn of colored crystals and hands at Rolex and introduced the iconic orange “thunder bolt” hand. Beyond its looks, it’s anti-magnetic for up to 1,000 gauss. These features may not be for everyone and, for some people, that can be a wonderful thing.

Rolex Datejust 41 Blue Dial, White Dial and Black Dial Steel Watches

Rolex Datejust 41

The Datejust is Rolex’s best-selling family since 1945, for good reason. Versatile style, quality watchmaking, not to mention an illustrious history, makes it top of mind.

In 2016, the classic 36mm Datejust underwent yet another upgrade after the Datejust II release, and received a 41mm case that’s tapered and sleeker. The aim end result was the Datejust 41, which looks just like the Datejust 36, only larger. It’s the answered wish of Datejust fans who wanted a larger and more contemporary watch.

As you can expect from any Datejust, the Datejust 41 comes with a choice of a smooth or fluted bezel, an Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, and dozens of dial colors and designs. The myriad of configurations makes it even easier to find one that’s tailored to your needs.

Rolex Submariner Black Dial Stainless Steel Mens Watch 16610

Rolex Submariner Date in Stainless Steel

From Steve McQueen to James Bond, men the world over gravitate towards the Rolex Submariner because of its impressive functionality and ruggedly handsome but highly versatile looks. You can dress it up, dress it down, go diving in it, attend a formal event wearing it – you name it, you can do it in the Submariner.

While there are many variations of the Rolex Submariner available in the market, the hottest models still have to be the stainless steel and black dial and bezel versions, due to their versatility.

Go for the Cerachrom bezel versions (ref 116610) for a contemporary look and more presence on the wrist, and for the steel bezel version (ref 16610) for a more tapered, vintage look.
