Reference 6240, 6263 and 6265 all feature water resistant screw down pushers. While physically similar to its predecessor reference 6239, reference 6262 was fitted with the upgraded Valjoux movement caliber 727. The present watch is fitted with a beautiful "Paul Newman" dial, which is instantly recognizable due to its Art-Deco-style numerals within the subsidiary registers.

Its black on white grené dial, coupled with red "Daytona" text, makes for an incredibly eye-catching and attractive wristwatch. The luminous dots have aged to a pleasing warm yellow tone, matching the hands.
