This example is special for its exceptionally well-preserved condition with the coveted black "Big Red" dial. The "Big Red" Daytona designation started to appear in 1975 and continued all the way to 1988 when the reference was finally discontinued. Extremely sought-after, the red text gave rise to a striking contrast against the black background and attracted a huge following. The popularity of the red text has since continued into the automatic caliber era until today.

Not only the dial is in excellent condition with all the luminous dots along the outer ring intact and matching the hands, the overall tone of the registers has shown honest signs of aging, adding to its vintage appeal. Furthermore, the case is in pristine condition with thick lugs and original proportions, while the bezel also remains nice and intact, contributing to the overall excellent state of preservation.

The complete set of accessories accompanying this 6263 is equally impressive. It includes the original punched guarantee stamped by K.K. Nagatoya, a small authorized dealer located in Taitō City, the heart of Tokyo. The original price tag of 380,000 Yen from 1980 is also present, along with a service invoice from 2003, the original fitted presentation box with a "6263/0" label on the side, and even a 30% off service coupon from 2003. This comprehensive provenance and documentation further enhance the value and desirability of this exceptional vintage Daytona.
