Why Buy a Pre Owned Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz in the UK?

Opting for a pre owned Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz gives you the opportunity to own one of the most iconic Rolex creations. The bold case shape, built in bracelet, and high tech quartz movement clearly illustrate its difference over automatic models.

And because the Oysterquartz line remains in high demand, especially in the UK, owning a well kept piece can make it easier to sell in the future as part of a long term collecting strategy.

Whether you want a standout everyday watch or an investment minded vintage reference, the Datejust Oysterquartz offers enduring appeal.

Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz History & Legacy

The Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz was the company's take on the whole quartz movement phenomenon. It came out in the late 1970s and ruled the market with its top-notch quartz calibre, bold architectural design case with integrated bracelet, and very good silversmithing. The production numbers were low compared to other quartz watches which made it rarer than its automatic counterparts.

At present, the Oysterquartz remains a unique watch in pre-owned Rolex watches history. The collectors appreciate its crispness in lines, sharpness in shape, and special effect of the quartz movement apart from its technical precision. Because of its limited production, it has been raised to the rank of highly collectible vintage category, particularly for fans who want a distinctive Datejust, rather than just any other.
