When was the Rolex Precision made?
1 Answer

The Rolex Precision watches were first made in the 1940s. However, the most well-known example, the Rolex Oyster Precision, debuted around 1953. The Oyster case was the first waterproof watch case, thanks to its uniquely designed bezel. Shop a collection of Rolex Oyster Precision watches on 1stDibs.
