Notes
When Malcolm Campbell broke the speed record of 445 km/h on the Daytona Beach circuit in 1935, it was with a Rolex on his wrist. In 1959, the Daytona International Speedway was born, a 4 km long circuit that hosts the most famous car races such as the Daytona 500 or the Rolex 24 At Daytona, the American equivalent of the 24 hours of Le Mans, of which the Daytona is also the official watch. The eponymous chronograph of the Rolex manufacture was thus consecrated as THE watch of the car racers.
References 6265 and 6263 are launched at the beginning of the 1970s, in order to replace the previous references, such as 6262 and 6264. The screw pushers on the case brought an essential improvement : the waterproofness at 50m. Produced from 1971 to 1988, the reference 6265 is well known for its sports-look with the famous smooth stainless steel bezel with the tachymeter scale.
