Rolex Oysterday reference 6694 from 1984

Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694

Serial 8299XXX – 1984

This is the one you buy when you don’t need anyone to notice your watch.

Hand-wound. Acrylic crystal. Smooth bezel. 34mm of proper proportion.
The 6694 is Rolex in its most honest form.

Fully serviced and running exactly as it should. The winding feel is crisp and mechanical, exactly how a manual Oyster should be. The date advances the traditional way through the hands — deliberate, old-school, satisfying.

The silver dial is clean and balanced, with perfectly preserved tritium lume on both hands and indexes. Even tone. No damage. No relume. Just correct vintage character.

On a leather strap it wears slim, sharp and understated. Slides under a cuff. Works with tailoring. Works with denim. This is the reference collectors quietly keep because it makes sense.

No hype. No oversized case. Just interaction and proportion.

Technical Background

The 6694 is powered by the robust Rolex calibre 1225 — a manually wound movement built for durability and long service life. Its straightforward construction makes it one of the most reliable and mechanically honest vintage Rolex references produced.
