The Datejust , with its simple yet luxurious design, is a classic watch paragon. It was born with a date display in a small window at the 3 o'clock position on the dial and the first self-winding waterproof chronometer function, and is one of the models that has had a major impact on the watch world today. The simple design of the black dial and bar indexes makes it highly versatile and is sure to be useful in a variety of situations. It is equipped with the Cal.3235, which has a power reserve of 70 hours, which is about twice that of conventional Rolex movements, and boasts outstanding performance in terms of functionality.

Nicolas Otamendi overwhelms his opponents with his physical contact.

His deep sliding, which almost sweeps the opponent's leg along with it, is fierce enough to be expected from a South American player, and his wild temperament is reminiscent of former Italian national team player Gattuso, who was known as the "fighting dog."

The watch worn by Otamendi is

This model, which continues to lead the popularity of luxury sports watches along with the Nautilus, was released in 2021 as a homage to the original Nautilus model (released in 1976), popularly nicknamed "Jumbo." The dial and tropical band feature the popular khaki green, and are a perfect match for the elegant 18KWG (white gold) case.
