Interesting Rolex Oyster Quartz! Something completely different.

[@dk2853]

A quartz movement finished to the highest Swiss standard. Absolutely love it!

We need to forward this video to all the people who say Quartz movements in high-end watches are a waste of money. The TAG Kirium has a very complex Quartz Movement with 31 jewels and great finishing. I'm proud to wear a Quartz movement when it's to this level.

[@SarcastSempervirens]

I really like these hybrids when everything you can keep from a mechanical movement is still there, just the regulating part goes electronic or the failure-prone part (hairspring) is mimiced by something sturdier. Best of both worlds, tradition and craft in marriage with a bit of inovation.

Very cool but I feel stupid as I could have got these in stainless for 300-400$ 15-20yrs ago .& Look at the oyster quartz prices in 2023..😮😊

[@davelowey3074]

You do like a pallet as do i. Don't think i ever seen ruby banking pins before on any i have fixed or revised excellent. That is really cool Kalle, wish i was a member perhaps i can manage it soon, but you have shown me a hell of alot which i am very thankful for.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝😁

[@bangy55]

I always learn something new from you, Kalle. This is one cool watch. I didn't even know it existed. Thanks for sharing.

[@davelowey3074]

Hi Kalle, glad you're showing us an oyster quartz, happy you don't just show autos and mechanicals cheers mate. Dave from UK Wigan. They as in Rolex do make a lovely and robust movement.

[@andyyoung3233]

can you service it to show all the parts and how does it run and keep time

[@johnnyarsenault9124]

Hi Kalle! Were these made to counter act the quartz crisis by Rolex at the time? Thanks again! 👍

[@dk2853]

These came out in the early 70's when quartz was seen as high luxury and the greatest advance in watchmaking. The cheaper quartz movements came out over the years, but the Oysterquartz was Rolex's only quartz movement. Discontinued in 2001.

[@andrejensen7837]

Can you work on an oysterquartz, or is that only rolex spareparts ?.

[@justinchurchill5530]

I’ve gotten 4 hours of sleep and I’m running on coffee and binge watching your videos 😁

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

COFFEE, MORE COFFEE!!!

[@justinchurchill5530]

@@ChronoglideWatchmaking 😁 I’m still watching your videos and I’m on my 3rd pot of coffee

[@rasheedpm1063]

👍 new information Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@charliewarren5586]

Taking some roger smith elements in the two dimensions of the escapement wheel, but for a quartz and for a pallet fork. Crazy thing

[@TheRobertlonski]

A far-cry from the SEIKO Spring Drive technology.

[@tesseract2365]

Beautiful hybrid watch!

[@e99g]

Thats nice even for 80s

[@Curfewlater]

Although these watches still need synthetic oil for maintenance, they're great for passing through Low Emission Zones thanks to the hybrid technology. Rolex was far ahead in terms of climate awareness 😁

[@SuvayanGhosh-zm7wf]

does this watch have mainspring?

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

No it's just a quartz movement. Thnx! Kalle

[@ardie554]

I feel sorry for the palletfork.. it seems lonely without a balance wheel..😕

[@CSiri-cc2hq]

Awesomeness

[@garyboyle695]

I wonder who actually made the movement?

[@defcon2691]

Hola kalle, hay posibilidad de poner subtitulo en español ??? Tus clases son interesantes y mi inglés nulo. Me haría miembro pero no logro comprender ni la mitad, seguro que beneficiaria a mucha gente que no puede llegar, para mi, al mejor canal de relojeria. Gracias

[@marioorozco6635]

Aprendiendo el inglés es lo qué recomiendo 👍 No seas flojo

[@RogueCylon]

I almost find it sad that it’s a watch really needing to be an automatic.

[@DivXDemonRik]

Nothing wrong with quartz, especially when cool and unusual like this. open your mind.

[@GDLOTKIDOG]

Please make a new more relaxing and sophisticated video intro and outro! I love your knowledge, but the rocking intro and outro is not a good match for you. It sounds like a learn how to drive 18 wheelers jig. Please some classical or jazz.

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

I will, thnx for the feedback!
