Though Rolex is famous for their intricate and advanced mechanical movements, the company began researching and developing quartz movements as early as the 1950s. Rolex officially released its first quartz models with the Oysterquartz in 1977. During its production run from 1977 to 2001, close to 25,000 Oysterquartz watches were produced by Rolex.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Rolex continually steps their game up.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/images\/zDSC-0438.jpg\" alt=\"rolex oysterquarts datejust reference 1700a\" width=\"750\" height=\"407\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An Oysterquartz allowed for a slimmer case and a more accurate timepiece.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rolex initially introduced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-datejust-1.html\">Oysterquartz in both the Datejust<\/a> (Ref. 17000) and the Day-Date (Ref. 19018). Both models were an improvement upon the original Quartz Date of 1970 in terms of enhanced accuracy and a slimmer case design.<\/p>\n<h2>Oysterquartz Details Not To Miss<\/h2>\n<p>The Oysterquartz featured an 11 jewel movement which utilized the latest CMOS circuitry, a 32khz oscillator, and analog thermocompensation. In addition, each movement was finished to even higher standards than Rolex&#8217;s mechanical movements at the time.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"A Rolex Oysterquartz reference 17000A like this will keep track of time perfectly.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/images\/z106394-p.jpg\" alt=\"rolex oysterquartz reference 17000a\" width=\"750\" height=\"800\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This watch was held to a standard higher than Rolex&#8217;s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Rolex Oysterquartz\u00a0Datejust reference 17000A\u00a0was available in three finishes: stainless steel (Ref. 17000), stainless steel and white gold (Ref. 17014), or stainless steel and yellow gold (Ref. 17013). This watch was also one of the first Rolex models to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/rolex-info\/overview-different-watch-movement-types.html\">fitted with a sapphire crystal with an amazing movement<\/a>. The Oysterquartz was also the only Rolex model to be supplied with a solid link integrated bracelet with no end links nor link removable screws, making it unique. Another added characteristic is the Oysterquartz\u2019s loud ticking movement. Collectors often mention that the watch can be heard when it is quiet.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"A bracelet Datejust Oysterquarts model 17000A is solid.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/images\/zDSC-0439.jpg\" alt=\"bracelet datejust oysterquarts model 17000a from Bob's Watches.\" width=\"750\" height=\"494\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This watch stopped production in 2001.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rolex stopped producing the Oysterquartz in 2001, with the last of the models selling by 2003.

Thus, the Oysterquartz watch is now highly valued on the collectors\u2019 market as a rare Rolex watch. Rolex has not yet ventured back into the quartz watch market <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.watchdoctor.biz\/2016\/02\/21\/rolex-oysterquartz\/\">despite its history of achievements<\/a>, leaving the Oysterquartz as a valuable collector&#8217;s item.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the 1970s, quartz movements in watches became increasingly popular.
