The Oysterquartz Legacy
Introduced in the late 1970s, the Oysterquartz line represents Rolex’s response to the quartz revolution. These watches were engineered with the same attention to detail as their mechanical counterparts, combining a sophisticated quartz movement with a distinctive case and integrated bracelet. Their bold design and low production numbers have made Oysterquartz models a particularly interesting part of the Rolex catalogue.

The Dial
This example features a black gloss dial, with a deep, reflective finish that contrasts beautifully with the applied gold baton hour markers, matching hands and gold lettering. The understated combination of black and gold complements the two-tone case and bracelet, while the softly aged luminous plots add character. The date aperture at 3 o’clock sits beneath the signature Cyclops lens for easy reading.

The Case and Bracelet
The 36mm angular Oysterquartz case, a defining feature of the collection, gives this model its bold and modernist presence. Crafted from a combination of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, the case retains its sharp geometry and clean lines. The fluted 18k yellow gold bezel adds a familiar Datejust detail, complementing the angular shape of the case.

This reference is paired with the integrated two-tone Jubilee-style Oysterquartz bracelet, designed specifically for the Oysterquartz line. Its tight links, solid construction and secure clasp make it comfortable to wear, with the bracelet flowing neatly into the case.

The Movement
Powering the watch is the in-house Rolex Calibre 5035 quartz movement, a highly engineered, thermocompensated quartz calibre designed for exceptional accuracy. COSC-certified, robust and reliable, the 5035 includes a quickset date function and hacking seconds, offering both precision and convenience.
