Rolex 1580 Description

The Rolex Caliber 1580 is an exceptionally rare manual-wind movement based on the 1500-series architecture. Produced specifically for the “Commando” ref. 6429 retailed by Abercrombie & Fitch, it lacks the automatic winding module of its siblings. It is a non-chronometer movement with a lower jewel count but retains the series’ robust build quality and beat rate. Its specific application and short production run make it a highly collectible and obscure Rolex caliber.
