The wedge-shaped indices and large logo print are characteristic details of this era. The watch is powered by the Cal. 1560 movement, renowned for its "free-sprung" balance, which adjusts the timing without the need for a regulator. It was Rolex's first chronometer movement to eliminate the regulator index, known for its high accuracy and reliability. The case shows minimal wear, with the bezel edges remaining sharp. The dial is largely free of scratches or stains, maintaining a clean appearance. The hands and indices are intact with no plating loss, shining brightly. The blued steel seconds hand retains its deep colour without any fading. The luminous markers have kept their shape well, exhibiting an ideal beige patina. The watch has been fully disassembled and cleaned by our company. This watch, full of vintage charm, remains sporty and user-friendly for those accustomed to modern timepieces. The large logo dial paired with the blued steel seconds hand is a standout feature. Original hands are highly valued, as replacements are common, making this watch particularly prized. Enjoy the impressive presence of this timepiece with its exceptional original details. BRAND The Oyster Perpetual carries forward the legacy of ROLEX, a name renowned worldwide. Incorporating two of ROLEX's three major inventions—the Oyster case and the Perpetual movement—this model signifies a self-winding watch with a waterproof and dustproof case. It served as the foundation for later professional models such as the Explorer, Submariner, and Milgauss.
