Description
The Rolex Daytona Ref. 6263 (Sigma Dial), available at Rex Watches NYC, represents one of the most iconic and collectible vintage chronographs ever produced. Introduced in the mid-1970s, this reference embodies the spirit of Rolex’s motorsport heritage, combining rugged functionality with timeless aesthetics.
The 37 mm stainless steel case features a fixed stainless steel tachymetric bezel, used to calculate average speed — a hallmark of Rolex’s racing pedigree. Its silver Sigma dial, distinguished by small “σ SWISS σ” markings at 6 o’clock, indicates the use of gold for the applied hour markers — a detail cherished by collectors. The contrasting black subdials enhance legibility, while the original Tritium lume adds authentic vintage character.
Inside, the manually wound Calibre 727 powers the chronograph function, celebrated for its reliability and precision during Rolex’s pre-automatic Daytona era. The solid caseback and acrylic crystal maintain the watch’s classic proportions and 1970s charm. (bobswatches.com)
