The Rolex Datejust 41 126300-0030 debuted in 2026 as an Oystersteel configuration of the Datejust collection, pairing the 41 mm case with a bright blue dial, a smooth bezel, and a Jubilee bracelet. In this reference, the combination shifts the watch in a slightly different direction from the more familiar fluted-bezel Datejust 41 variants, retaining the collection’s date display and bracelet identity while presenting them in a cleaner, more restrained steel format.
Its Oyster case measures 41 mm in diameter and follows the established construction of the Datejust line, with a monobloc middle case, screw-down case back, and Twinlock screw-down winding crown. Executed entirely in Oystersteel, the case is fitted with a smooth bezel rather than the fluted bezel used on white Rolesor versions, giving the watch a simpler outline and placing greater emphasis on the dial and bracelet. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal incorporates the Cyclops lens over the date, and water resistance is rated to 100 metres, preserving the practical Oyster architecture that underpins the model.
The dial is executed in bright blue with a sunray finish. This treatment is created through radial brushing from the centre outward, producing light reflections that shift across the surface as the watch moves. The colour is then applied after the finishing stage, followed by a varnish layer that gives the dial its final appearance. In this reference, the bright blue dial introduces a stronger colour accent than the more neutral Datejust variants, while the familiar display arrangement remains unchanged, with central hours, minutes, and seconds, applied hour markers, and the date aperture at 3 o’clock.
Inside is Rolex calibre 3235, a self-winding manufacture movement with centre hours, minutes, and seconds, instantaneous date with rapid setting, stop-seconds for precise time setting, and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. It runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and is equipped with a blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers. As in other Datejust 41 references, the movement combines the collection’s everyday date function with Rolex’s current automatic architecture.
The watch is fitted with a Jubilee bracelet in Oystersteel, with five-piece links, a folding Oysterclasp, and the Easylink comfort extension system allowing approximately 5 mm of adjustment. In this configuration, the Jubilee bracelet preserves one of the Datejust’s most recognisable design elements, while the smooth bezel keeps the overall profile more understated than on fluted-bezel counterparts. The result is a Datejust 41 that remains unmistakably part of the collection, yet stands apart through the combination of its bright blue sunray dial, all-steel construction, and Jubilee bracelet.
