Cal. 3035 ran from 1977 to 1988 in the 16800, 168000, 16808, and 16803. It was the first quickset Submariner caliber, with 27 jewels, a 28,800 vph frequency, 48 hours of reserve, hacking, and chronometer certification. Compared with the Cal. 1570 generation, it increased frequency from 19,800 vph and added a crown position that advances the date wheel directly. Its free-sprung Nivarox Breguet overcoil is regulated by four Microstella screws and protected by KIF Elastor. | Cal. 3035 ran from 1977 to 1988 in the 16800, 168000, 16808, and 16803.

Exact-reference auction catalogues | Exact-reference auction catalogues identify Cal. 3035 in Datejust ref. [[Reference:16003|16003]] and Oyster Perpetual Date ref. [[Reference:15003|15003]] examples. Christie's and Noonans name Cal. 3035 in their 15003 lots.

Two construction details separate it from Cal. 3135. Its balance sits on a cantilevered cock, and its hairspring is glued to the stud. Cal. 3135 uses a bridge anchored at both ends and a laser-welded hairspring stud. | Two construction details separate it from Cal. 3135.
