Rolex oyster precision range

Hi all,

Really into the vintage manual wind watches. I currently have a 6426 black dial and had a 6694 satin dial before.

My question is what is the entire lineup that were offered in the precision range?

I know of the following:

- oyster precision (no date)
-oysterdate precision (no quick set date function)
- air king precision
- speed king precision


Were there any other models?

“Precision” and “Super Precision” were designations for a class of movements, not a reference or collection (they followed “Prima” and “Ultra Prima”). There must be dozens of references that used these movements…

Yeah I get that. I know that mine is a 6426, the oyster date is a 6694 etc. I know that each variant has its own ref, I was just curious if there were any other variants I wasn’t aware of.

Oyster variants only? Or non-Oysters like the 9708 and Cellinis too?

There was never a "precision" line as has already been stated. The model you're interested in is the "oyster". There are a ton of variants. 2280, 3478,4220, 4925, 6424, 6426, etc. Look up manual wind Oyster and you'll see tons of variants from the mid 20s on up
