Rolex, Oysterquartz, Datejust, ca 1979.

The Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz 17000 is a watch with a unique and fascinating history. Introduced in 1977, the Oysterquartz 17000 was a departure from Rolex's traditional mechanical movements, as it was powered by a quartz movement, making it one of the first quartz watches made by Rolex.

One of the key features of the Oysterquartz 17000 is its precision quartz movement, which is accurate to within a few seconds per month. The movement is equipped with a quickset date function, which allows the wearer to quickly and easily set the date.

Despite its quartz movement, the Oysterquartz 17000 remains a true Rolex watch, with the same attention to detail, quality, and craftsmanship that is synonymous with the brand. The watch is a testament to Rolex's ability to adapt and innovate while still maintaining its commitment to excellence.
