men's Rolex watches with blue dials -​Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694, 1983

The Oysterdate, a cornerstone of the Rolex brand, has a rich history dating back to the 1950s. Early iterations like the 6094 and 6294 sported dauphine hands and roulette date wheels, while later models like the 1983 Oysterdate 6694 you see here, embraced a more streamlined aesthetic. This specific watch captures the essence of the 6694's enduring popularity.

The Oysterdate 6694 carved its niche by embracing simplicity. Its 34mm case houses a classic black dial adorned with applied gilt baton markers and discreet minute markers. The addition of a cyclops magnification lens over the date aperture in later models like this 1983 example, was a subtle yet functional improvement. Powered by the reliable Calibre 1225 movement, this Rolex is as reliable as it is timeless. 

While this black dial configuration exudes timeless elegance, the 6694 also offered various dial colors like silver, blue, and champagne. Earlier models featured dauphine hands, while later ones, like this 1983 version, adopted contemporary stick hands. This particular watch is also accompanied by the iconic Oyster bracelet (a later reference 78350 with 557B end links), ensuring comfort and timeless style on your wrist.
