This Rolex Ref. 6094, powered by the manually wound Calibre 740 movement, underwent a complete service to restore both function and reliability. The movement was fully disassembled, ultrasonically cleaned, and each component carefully inspected. During reassembly, modern synthetic Moebius oils were applied to critical friction points to ensure smooth operation and long-term stability. Special attention was given to the escapement, which received a precise application of Fixodrop to prevent oil migration and maintain consistent performance over time. After regulation and testing, the watch ran accurately and reliably, preserving the charm and mechanical integrity of this classic mid-century Rolex.

Brief History of the Rolex Ref. 6094 with Calibre 740 Movement
The Rolex Ref. 6094 is a classic example of Rolex’s understated yet refined dress watches from the 1950s. Part of the Oyster Perpetual family, the 6094 typically featured a clean, elegant dial housed in a 34mm Oyster case, often in stainless steel or gold, with a smooth bezel and the characteristic screw-down crown. While not a sport model like the Submariner or Explorer, the 6094 still embodied the rugged reliability that defined Rolex’s mid-century offerings.
Inside, the watch was powered by the Calibre 740, a robust and dependable manual-wind movement produced by Rolex in the post-war years. Though relatively simple compared to later automatic calibers, the Cal. 740 offered reliable timekeeping and was built to high standards with shock protection and durable components.
