Rolex Oyster Precision Date Silver Dial (1974) – Freshly Serviced with Mint Case
The Oyster Precision embodies Rolex's uncompromisingly simple, functional core – no frills, just the solid manual-wind movement for which the brand has always been known. This example from 1974, with a clean silver dial and date display, has been freshly serviced in September 2026 and is in exceptionally well-maintained condition.
A Case in Mint Condition
The case, bezel, and crystal of this Oyster Precision are in mint condition – a remarkable achievement for a watch over 50 years old. The silver dial with a date window appears clear and in very good condition. Before sale, the case was high-polish buffed and professionally refinished, the bezel polished to a high sheen, and the acrylic crystal freshly polished. The well-maintained appearance is complemented by a new leather strap and a strap in like-new condition. An example that, despite its age, leaves a remarkably fresh overall impression.

Freshly Serviced – A Manual-Wind Movement with Impressive Power Reserve
In September 2026, the watch was fully overhauled by our watchmaker: The movement was cleaned, oiled, and regulated to -2 seconds per day, and the entire watch was professionally inspected. Inside, the Rolex Caliber 1225 is at work – a manually wound movement with an impressive power reserve of 58 hours according to the manufacturer. The measurements after service are excellent:
- Power Reserve (manufacturer's specification): 58 hours
- Rate Deviation: -2 seconds/day
- Amplitude: 275°
- Beat Error: 0.0 ms
A beat error of 0.0 ms with a high amplitude shows: This movement runs smoothly and extremely precisely after careful servicing – complemented by the exceptionally long power reserve for a manual-wind movement.
