Description

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 6265 “Big Red” with black dial is an icon of vintage Rolex collecting and one of the most sought-after chronographs of the 1970s and 1980s. Its 37 mm stainless steel Oyster case is fitted with a screw-down crown and chronograph pushers, making it more robust and water-resistant than earlier Daytona references with pump pushers. The fixed metal tachymeter bezel reinforces its professional racing-tool identity, offering speed measurements at a glance.

The defining feature of this reference is the black dial, with three contrasting silver sub-dials for running seconds, 30-minute, and 12-hour counters. Above the 6 o’clock register sits the bold “Daytona” inscription in bright red, giving the watch its famous “Big Red” nickname. This detail, paired with the clean layout and high-contrast design, makes the dial one of the most visually striking in Rolex’s history.

Inside beats the Valjoux 727 manual-wind chronograph calibre, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offering around 48 hours of power reserve. Robust, reliable, and precise, it powered some of the most important Daytona references before Rolex transitioned to automatic chronographs.

The watch is completed by the classic Oyster bracelet in stainless steel, secured with a folding clasp, combining sporty functionality with everyday comfort.

Today, the Rolex Daytona 6265 “Big Red” black dial stands among the most collectible vintage Rolex watches, admired for its rarity, iconic dial design, and direct connection to the golden age of motorsport. It represents the perfect fusion of heritage, technical charm, and timeless style in the Daytona lineage.
