Design
The Datejust 41 is the classic: Oyster case, a choice of smooth or fluted bezel, Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, and many dial colours. The Aqua Terra is more contemporary, with a horizontal "teak" pattern on most dials and a slightly sportier feel. Both are 41 mm and wear comfortably on most wrists; our guide to choosing your watch size helps if you are between sizes.
