Rolex Precision Date Vertical Brush 6694 from 1970

Rolex Oysterdate Precision ref. 6694 – 1970

A beautifully honest example of Rolex understatement at its best. This Oysterdate Precision 6694 features a crisp vertical brushed silver dial, giving it a sharp, purposeful look that perfectly matches the utilitarian character of the model.

Fitted with the correct Tropic crystal and paired with its original Oyster rivet bracelet, this watch wears exactly how a late-’60s / early-’70s Rolex should. No unnecessary polish, no modern reinterpretation — just a slim, mechanical Rolex with timeless proportions and real vintage charm.

At 34mm, the 6694 sits elegantly on the wrist and remains one of the most wearable vintage Rolex references out there, equally at home dressed up or worn daily.

Technical background
The ref. 6694 is powered by Rolex’s hand-wound caliber, prized for its simplicity, robustness, and tactile winding feel. As one of the last manually wound Oysterdate models, it represents the end of an era before automatic movements fully took over the Rolex lineup.
