Rolex 1560
ProbableThe chronometer-grade no-date caliber of the early 1960s, superseded by the higher-beat 1570. A 5512 spans the transition and may correctly carry either, alongside the 1530 on earlier non-chronometer examples — three legitimate calibers for one reference, which is why the reference number cannot settle the caliber question on this watch.
