ROLEX TRU-BEAT

rolex tru-beat
The Rolex Tru-Beat 6556 represents an exclusive model of the Rolex range, both for its specific characteristics and its rarity.
Aesthetically similar to an Oyster Perpetual, this model is distinguished by its “dead seconds” complication of the 1040 calibre movement (based on the 1030 calibre): this function makes the seconds hand move forward in small jumps instead of sweeping, allowing a better visualisation of the seconds.
The Tru-Beat reference 6556 was produced in steel and 18kt gold (yellow and rose) with a standard or Metroplitan dial with Dauphine hands. Only some models have a red seconds hand.
The Tru-Beat appeared on the market for the first time in 1954 and went out of production in 1959, without being replaced. The problems with the fragile 1040 calibre were sometimes resolved by removing the “dead seconds” function and bringing it in line with the classic 1030 calibre.
The model was produced in a limited number of pieces, both for its elegant design and its restricted success, characteristics that add to its appeal for collectors..
