Rolex 645 Description

The Rolex Caliber 645 is a chronometer-grade automatic movement from the early 1950s “Semi-Bubbleback” era. As part of the larger 600-series, this 10.5”’ caliber was more robust and accurate than its predecessors, allowing Rolex to consistently feature the “Officially Certified Chronometer” designation on its dials. It was a time-only workhorse that helped solidify Rolex’s reputation for precision.
