Rolex Oysterdate Precision Manual-winding Mechanical Watch – Stainless Steel With Leather Strap – 1967

An elegant stainless steel Rolex Oysterdate Precision from 1967, an iconic model from Rolex’s 1960s lineup, recognizable by the particularly understated balance of its dial and the compact proportions of its Oyster case.

This watch belongs to a unique family in Rolex’s history. Unlike the Oyster Perpetual models equipped with automatic winding, the Oysterdate Precision retains a manual-winding mechanical movement—a feature that today contributes fully to the charm of these vintage Rolex watches. The reference 6694 thus represents one of the manufacturer’s iconic lines that have remained faithful to manual winding.

The watch features a 34-mm steel Oyster case with lines typical of the 1960s, complete with a smooth, polished bezel and long, slightly tapered lugs. The surface finishes create a subtle contrast: the lugs feature a slightly brushed finish, while the rest of the case is polished—a contrast that elegantly highlights the case’s construction and proportions.

The silver dial, which has developed a slight, uniform patina due to its age, is punctuated by applied baton hour markers and a discreet peripheral minute track. The Rolex crown at 12 o’clock is set above the “ROLEX – OYSTERDATE” inscriptions, while the word “PRECISION” appears at the bottom of the dial.

At 3 o’clock is the date window, topped by the characteristic Cyclops lens. The central hour and minute hands are accompanied by a central seconds hand. Together, these elements create a particularly legible and balanced dial, representative of the understated and functional aesthetic of Rolex watches from this period.

The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 1225, a hand-wound mechanical in-house movement. It retains its original winding crown, which is screw-down and bears the Rolex logo. It is now fitted with a Plexiglas crystal featuring a Cyclops lens—replaced in accordance with the model’s original configuration—as well as a black leather strap, which has also been replaced.

With its 34 mm case—a classic size for a men’s watch in the 1960s—this Oysterdate now offers particularly elegant proportions and a naturally unisex look. The slimness of its case, its silver dial, and the combination of stainless steel and black leather give it a timeless aesthetic, making it suitable for both men and women.

This 1967 Rolex Oysterdate Precision captivates with its understated design, balanced proportions, and the characteristic charm of a vintage manual-winding Rolex, in a configuration that has become particularly versatile for everyday wear.

Presented in perfect condition and fully serviced, we guarantee its proper functioning for one year (except in cases of impact or immersion).
