The Heritage

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 28 reference 279160-0009 is a steel case timepiece introduced in 1957 as the first feminine interpretation of the Datejust, powered by the Rolex 2236 calibre, a new generation manufacturing movement with COSC chronometer certification and Syloxi silicon hairspring. The 28mm Oystersteel case with smooth bezel and domed crystal features satin and polished surfaces, offering water resistance to 100 metres and a power reserve of approximately 55 hours. Strap width is 14mm, requiring specifically designed straps for proper fit and visual harmony with the case lugs.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Rolex Lady-Datejust 279160-0009?

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 279160-0009 features a 28mm case with a lug width of 14mm. This measurement is specific to the Lady-Datejust 28mm family and requires straps designed precisely to that dimension to ensure a correct fit and a harmonious visual profile at the case-strap junction.

What is the best strap for the Rolex Lady-Datejust 279160-0009?

For the Lady-Datejust 279160-0009 in Oystersteel, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap is the most coherent choice given the watch's formal register.

How do you change the strap on a Rolex Lady-Datejust 279160-0009?

To replace the strap on the Lady-Datejust 279160-0009, use a double-ended spring bar tool with tips measuring 0.7–0.8mm.

Alternatively, Casati Milano can perform the swap by appointment.

How long does a leather strap last on a Rolex Lady-Datejust 279160-0009?
