Back then, it was known as the &#8220;Le Mans,&#8221; named after the grueling 24-hour race held yearly in Le Mans, France. The Rolex Le Mans featured something which the previous Rolex chronograph, Reference 6238, did not: a tachometer scale engraved into the outer bezel. The easy-to-read tachometer bezel allowed the wearer to measure speed over a known distance accurately. For example, by starting the chronograph when a vehicle enters a measured mile, and stopping the chronograph once the vehicle has reached the end of that metric, you can calculate how fast it was moving. So, if a car is moving at 60 miles per hour, the chronograph will show an elapsed time of 60 seconds throughout the measured mile. Ultimately, the addition of the tachometer scale to the outer bezel made the Rolex Le Mans chronograph the perfect racing watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The name &#8220;Le Mans&#8221; was used until 1965 when Rolex rebranded the watch the &#8220;Daytona,&#8221; however, all was not set in stone quite yet. In the early years that followed, Rolex produced several references of the Daytona. The name Daytona would appear in red on some dials and be absent from others. These early models constitute some of the most iconic and sought-after Rolex watches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the most famous of these is the highly collectible &#8220;Paul Newman&#8221; Daytona. To be considered a Paul Newman Daytona Rolex, the watch must be housed in a case with a reference number of either 6239, 6241, 6262, 6263, 6264, or 6265, with a plexiglass crystal, and a manual winding Valjoux 727 or a Valjoux 722 movement; it must also feature a Daytona &#8220;exotic&#8221; dial, originally installed by Rolex during the watch&#8217;s manufacturing. The &#8220;exotic&#8221; dial bears the following hallmarks: a contrasting color dial with a matching outer minute track that matches the subdials located at 3, 6, and 9 o&#8217;clock. The subdials have a &#8220;crosshairs&#8221; design that divides the subdials into quarters, &#8220;block&#8221; markers instead of lines, and the running seconds subdial at 9 o&#8217;clock is also divided into quarters by the numbers 60, 15, 30, and 45.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Rolex-Daytona-Ref-6264.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Rolex Daytona Exotic Dials&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Examples of Exotic Dials&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;68%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#999999&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;24px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exotic dials side by side.
