The reference 6240 was the first Daytona to incorporate screw-down pushers. Manufactured solely in stainless steel, the chronograph also features an acrylic tachometer bezel. In production from 1965 through 1969, approximately 1,700 pieces were made.
The present lot is offered in attractive condition and still with its rare original chronograph pushers.
