Rolex 1575 Description

The Rolex Caliber 1575 is a legendary automatic movement that powered many iconic models, including the Datejust 1601. An upgrade from the Caliber 1565, the 1575 increased the beat rate to 19,800 vph for better accuracy. It is a COSC-certified chronometer known for its extreme reliability and durability. Later versions introduced a “hacking” seconds function. The 1575 is a celebrated workhorse movement from a golden era of Rolex manufacturing.
