Footnotes

The Rolex Oysterquartz was launched in the late 1970's, with the goal of incorporating an in-house quartz movement into their internationally recognized case designs of the Datejust and Day-Date models. Not satisfied with the Beta 21 quartz movement, Rolex developed the caliber 5035/5055 movements to have superior accuracy and to negate the effects of temperature change.
