A

Rolex also produced a manual winding watch! A representative model is the Oyster Precision. Among them, the Oyster Date Precision Ref. produced from the 50s to the 80s. 6694 is the most famous. This Oyster Date has never used a self-winding movement (automatic) during its production period of over 30 years, and has been consistently loved by vintage enthusiasts looking for unique Rolexes.
