Rolex - 1978 ref. 1530 Tropical Oyster Perpetual Date (Oysterquartz Case)

Ahead of its time, with the announcement of the new Land-Dweller, Gerald Genta’s Oysterquartz case, repurposed with Rolex’s automatic cal. 1570, has finally found its footing. Most people recognize its quartz origin design, but this variation can immediately be spied apart by the higher beat movement and lack of “Quartz” on the dial. This Oyster Perpetual Date has a beautiful Sun Yellow Tropical dial with a nice patina.

Case: 36mm Stainless Steel

Bezel: Smooth Steel

Dial: Tropical Sun Yellow, Originally Silver

Bracelet: Integrated Rolex
