Questions

Frequently asked questions

  • Does Smartlet work with the Datejust on a jubilee bracelet?
    Yes. Whether your Datejust came on an Oyster or a Jubilee bracelet, the bracelet comes off and the watch adapters seat in the lug holes in place of the spring bars. Your original bracelet can be put back at any time.
  • Which Datejust references are compatible with Smartlet?
    Datejust 36 (ref. 126200, 126234, 126233, 20mm) and Datejust 41 (ref. 126300, 126334, 126333, 21mm) are compatible. Check smaller models in the Smartlet lug width finder.
  • Is the Classic or Shadow finish better for the Datejust?
    The Smartlet Classic's hand-brushed SS316L is the most natural pairing with the Datejust's Rolesor or steel cases. The Shadow's PVD black coating offers a more contemporary contrast. Both are compatible and the choice is purely aesthetic.
  • Does Smartlet damage or modify my mechanical watch?
    No. The watch adapters seat in your watch's lug holes in place of the spring bars. Nothing is modified on the case, lugs or dial, and the change is fully reversible: your mechanical watch can go back on its original strap at any time.
