Here we have a Rolex Oysterquartz Reference 17000. This particular example dates to 1980 and houses Rolex’s in house quartz Calibre 5035. With its integrated bracelet and sharply faceted case, the Oysterquartz carries a distinctly architectural, utilitarian design that stands apart within the Rolex lineup.
The dial :
The dial is named after the renowned watch expert and Rolex fanatic ‘John Buckley’, who collected these dials . This particular example is matte white with enamel Roman numerals .
Opinion :
In my opinion this is one of the most interesting and fascinating era for Rolex as a brand . While known for its mechanical pieces, the oyster quartz is also a living proof that Rolex can think outside the box with real innovation.
