No. 2142 - Introducing the rare cherry dial! Second-generation manual winding Daytona Ref. 6262 Black 1970 All Tritium!

Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce you to some attractive watches!
Today we're introducing a rare hand-wound Daytona!

Rolex Daytona Cherry All Tritium
Ref. 6262 Serial. 23 series (manufactured around 1970)
Cal.727 US rivet Accessories: Main unit only
HOLD!!

The short-lived second-generation manual-winding Daytona "Ref. 6262" was introduced around 1970 and production ended after just one year.

The bezel is a model with a stainless steel tachymeter bezel, just like the first generation "Ref. 6239".

As this is a non-Oyster model, there are no major differences in design compared to the original Daytona Ref. 6239, but it is equipped with the masterpiece hand-wound chronograph movement "Cal. 727", which has been upgraded to 21,600 vibrations per hour.

The dial is black with an arched Daytona notation above the 12-hour counter.

The Ref. 6262 itself has a short production period and is a model that is hard to come by,
I have the impression that normal dials are surprisingly rare.

Look at this image and you'll notice the Daytona logo isn't red?
If you think so, you're right.

This is a rare dial known as "cherry" with a red Daytona notation.

This cherry design is the only non-Oyster model with a red logo other than the Paul Newman dial .

Cherries are divided into two types: early and late.
This is 6262, so it is a later model.

This is a comparison shot with the Ref. 6263/Black Letter Big Red.
The OYSTER logo and pushers are different, but the faces are similar.

At first glance, it looks like a black-lettered Big Red Ref. 6265, but
There are also differences in the degree of gloss of the small cases and subdials.

The non-Oyster hand-wound Daytona itself is very rare,
This cherry dial is considered a rare one that is rarely seen even among manual-wound Daytonas.

Many people probably don't even know it exists.

The dial condition is very good,
The subdials and black surface are in good condition.

There are missing index luminous parts at the 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions.
The rest remains in good condition.

The hands are appropriate for the time period and have a nice aging effect, including luminous material.

There are some scratches from use, but the condition of the item is good!

The middle case is not overly polished either.

The bezel is in an attractive condition with no sagging.

The condition of the stainless steel bezel determines the impression of the face, so
Such a crisp bezel is rare!

The bracelet is US rivet.

There is some wear appropriate for its age, but it is in relatively good condition.

Wrist shot!!
This hand-wound Daytona has a subtle red logo that makes it incredibly cool!
