Rolex "Oysterdate Precision", Movement No. 30987, Case No. 961817, Ref. 6294, Cal. 740, 34 mm, circa 1963
An attractive vintage wristwatch with alternating red/black date, so called red/black "roulette" calendar
Case: steel, screw back ref. 6294 II/54, screwed "Twinlock" winding crown, riveted US-American steel "Oyster" bracelet dated 4/63 with endlinks stamped 57, brecelet length 150 mm, total length 200 mm. Dial: silvered, nice patina, rare facetted indexes and hands.
The simple but classic Rolex reference 6294 was launched in the early 1950s. In contrast to its predecessor, the reference 6094, this model had a screw-down crown. Reference 6294 came in different dial and calendar configurations - most of the watches had the red and black "roulette" date, with some few examples featuring an all-red calendar. This was only used for a short period of time.
