Rolex 1500 Oyster Perpetual Date

The Rolex 1500 Oyster Perpetual Date—yeah, that one—is kind of a sleeper hit, quietly flexing its mid-century charm with a no-nonsense dial and that trusty automatic movement. Introduced in the 1960s, it’s got the bones of a daily classic and the soul of a vintage standout, especially when aged just right. At Tropical Watch, we’re all about these subtle icons—the ones that whisper cool instead of shouting for attention.
