Description
The reference 6240 Oyster Cosmograph Daytona was the first Rolex chronograph to feature screw down chronograph pushers. The 6240 came with three series of pushers. Significantly, these are the first series pushers, also known as fat pushers, and the rarest. As such, it is an important and highly collectable vintage Rolex. This watch is 100% authentic and original.
Original stainless steel case measures 38mm diameter by 14mm thick. Original bezel still features sharp factory edge. Original bezel insert features “Units per Hour” scale from ‘50’ to ‘200’. The screw down crown and first series screw down chronograph pushers all work perfectly, and the chronograph hands reset crisply to their zero positions. The lugs are symmetrical and uniform with sharp edges. Case shows some light wear but its sharpness suggests that it has never been polished. Serial number 1438XXX dates the watch to 1965/1966.
Original untouched black dial has applied hour markers. The silver sub dials provide 30 minute and 12 hour chronograph totalizers and constant seconds. The sub dials are sunken and have concentric guilloche. Hands are original and mint.
Original movement is the manual winding Rolex Caliber 722 with 17 jewels. The Caliber 722 was the first Rolex chronograph movement to feature the Microstella regulation system. The movement features column wheel construction and is clean and in excellent working order.
Watch is on new custom leather strap with Rolex buckle.
Watch is in mint original condition and is guaranteed 100% authentic.
