Rolex Oyster 6425

The Rolex Oyster ref. 6425 is a manually wound time-only wristwatch from the 1950s, offering a clean, minimalist design in a mid-sized format. Crafted from stainless steel, it features a 34mm Oyster case with a smooth bezel, acrylic crystal, and the brand’s characteristic screw-down crown and caseback for basic water resistance. Inside, the watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 1210, a simple and reliable manual-wind movement that was widely used across Rolex’s hand-wound lineup at the time. Dials typically featured silver or white finishes with applied baton or numeral markers and pencil hands, offering a no-frills presentation focused on legibility. The lug-to-lug measurement is approximately 41mm, and the lug width is 19mm. While not as collectible as more complex references, the 6425 is prized by enthusiasts for its pure expression of Rolex’s early tool watch design and its durable, utilitarian build.
