This watch marked the End of the 2nd World War. Rolex’s gift to the world with the first wristwatch to change the date on its own.
People did not think this was possible. So a Red / Black Date wheel was used to show proof the date in-fact changed
Originally called the Victory – but quickly was change. This was the predecessor to the Datejust
