The 18238 is the Day-Date that finally became easy to set. It took over from the [[Reference:18038|18038]] in 1988 and kept the same 36mm yellow-gold President, the same fluted bezel and sapphire crystal, but swapped in the caliber 3155. That movement added the one thing the line had never had: a quickset for the day as well as the date, both indexed from the crown. For the first time an owner could correct a stopped Day-Date in seconds instead of running the hands around the dial to bring the day and date forward. The 18238 ran until about 2000, when the 6-digit [[Reference:118238|118238]] replaced it. | The 18238 is the Day-Date that finally became easy to set.
