Rolex Datejust "1927 English Channel" Swimmer Print Ad (2pgs) 2009 2000s

Rolex ties its Datejust watch to a legend, remembering the 1927 swimming of the English Channel with a sunlit swimmer in goggles and a gold watch in open water. White cliffs and rippling sea sit on the left page beside the diamond-dial model. The tagline about life's defining moments sells endurance and achievement, not just timekeeping. Soft, golden light gives it a calm, aspirational feel. This two-page spread was carefully removed from a magazine, so the image may not line up exact.

• Gold Oyster Perpetual Datejust shown on the wrist and in a panel on the left
• Historic date is printed in large serif numerals
• A nice choice for watch, travel and sports-history collectors
• Measures approximately: 8" x 11" (each page)
