Originally known as simply the “Day Date”, it earned the moniker, President, when it became associated with President Eisenhower. Since then, the Men’s President has routinely adorned the wrists of world leaders, celebrities, and business executives alike. Originally admired for pioneering the Day-Date Function, it is now revered as a symbol of class and distinction. Super Presidents differ from the traditional Presidents by the addition of diamonds to the bezel, band, and lugs. Melrose Jewelers is proud to offer the President and Super President models in a variety of styles.

About The Rolex President (Day Date Presidential)Introduced at the Basel Fair in 1956, the Rolex Day Date President is the flagship, highest-end Rolex wristwatch. Originally named the “Day Date,” it gained its name as the “President” when it was gifted by the Rolex corporation to President Dwight D. Eisenhower in honor of his re-election. Over the years, the Rolex Day Date wristwatch also became the favorite of many other U.S. Presidents, leading Rolex to undertake an aggressive advertising campaign with the slogan, “Men who guide the destinies of the world wear Rolex watches." Today, consequently, the Rolex Day Date is popularly known as the “President” or “Presidential.”
