Technical Background
The reference 6694 is powered by Rolex’s robust hand-wound caliber 1215, a movement celebrated for its durability and ease of maintenance. Produced until the late 1970s, the 6694 represents the final era of manually wound Rolex Oyster models. Its understated design and slim profile make it one of the most versatile vintage Rolex references today.
