A Datejust or Day-Date Oysterquartz: tell us about yours and we’ll email and text you a price.
Rolex answered the quartz crisis of the 1970s with its own quartz movement rather than a bought-in one. The Oysterquartz, launched in the mid-1970s, had an angular case, an integrated bracelet and a sapphire crystal, and at launch it was the most accurate watch Rolex had made.

The Rolex Oysterquartz
It was made as a Datejust and as a Day-Date until the early 2000s. Only around 25,000 were made in about 25 years, which makes it a relative rarity, and the 2025 Land-Dweller takes its inspiration from it.
