Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6266

The Rolex Oysterdate Precision ref. 6266 is a manually-wound wristwatch from the early 1960s, offering a clean and classic aesthetic paired with practical functionality. It features a 34mm stainless steel Oyster case with a smooth bezel, acrylic crystal, and the familiar screw-down crown and caseback, ensuring solid water resistance as part of Rolex’s Oyster standards. The watch is equipped with the Rolex Caliber 1215, a manually-wound movement featuring a date complication and no quickset function. Dial configurations often include silver, black, or champagne tones, complemented by applied baton markers and stick hands, with a cyclops lens magnifying the date at 3 o’clock. Its proportions—41mm lug-to-lug and 19mm lug width—make it a versatile and balanced choice on the wrist. While not as widely known as its automatic counterparts, the 6266 maintains vintage Rolex appeal and is appreciated by collectors who favor simplicity, thinness, and the tactile charm of a manual-wind movement.
