Rolex Bracelet for Reference 17010 – Stainless Steel (Acier) Oysterquartz Jubilee Bracelet

The Rolex 17010 is part of the Oysterquartz Datejust family, introduced in the late 1970s, and it features a fully stainless steel case and bracelet. Unlike traditional Datejust models, the 17010 uses a distinctive integrated bracelet design that flows seamlessly from the angular Oysterquartz case.

This bracelet is purpose-built for the Oysterquartz series and is not interchangeable with standard Oyster or Jubilee bracelets from mechanical Datejust references.

Bracelet Overview – Rolex 17010

Design Characteristics

• Integrated Design: Bracelet merges directly into the sharp, angular case typical of Oysterquartz models. The end links are not removable in the conventional sense and are shaped to fit the case geometry exactly.

• Jubilee Style: Resembles a Jubilee bracelet but with flat profile links, offering a modern, crisp look compared to rounded mechanical counterparts.

• Solid Construction: All links are solid stainless steel, providing a heavier, more substantial feel than vintage hollow-link models.

• No End Link Variants: Unlike mechanical Datejust bracelets (which require different end links), the 17010 bracelet is integrated as one piece with the case in mind.

Model Compatibility

• Fits only the Rolex 17010 Oysterquartz

• Not compatible with Datejust 16000, 16200, or other 36 mm mechanical Rolex cases

• Also distinct from the Oysterquartz Day-Date models (which use different bracelets)

Wear and Maintenance Notes

• Due to solid construction, bracelet stretch is minimal, even after decades of use.

• Scratches on the brushed surfaces can be refinished, but polishing should be done carefully to preserve original geometry.

• The angular aesthetic and bracelet architecture make the 17010 stand out visually from all other Datejust models.

Conclusion

The bracelet for the Rolex 17010 is a fully integrated stainless steel Jubilee-style bracelet designed specifically for the Oysterquartz Datejust. Its flat links, solid build, and seamless case integration make it both distinctive and collectible. It reflects Rolex’s late 1970s design ethos—modern, precise, and purpose-built—a true classic for fans of the unique Oysterquartz lineage.
