I thought it was called Datejust because that was what was printed on the dial.

That was always my guess, but I never knew if it was true or not (still don't

)

I have to go with independently-adjustable date. Makes the most sense to me.

Look : https://vimeo.com

Try this (copy): the world’s first waterproof wrist watch with the date in a window.

Rolex was the first wristwatch with a date window at the dial !

It's because the date doesn't switch over slowly over the course of several hours. Instead it uses gears and a spring mechanism to "flip" the date instantaneously, resulting in the wearer confidently knowing that every time he looks down at the watch, the date will always be just.
