Few timepieces strike a balance between sporty and elegant as perfect as a black dial 6263: the architecture of the Oyster case is by now rooted in the collective imaginary as one of the most powerful and versatile case designs in history (and in fact one can find it in dressy timepieces such as the Daydate as well as in sport’s watches such as the present one), and the addition of the screw pushers renders its look more aggressive. The black dial and bezel however grant the piece a mantle of sobriety and restrain that makes this watch an ideal choice both for the boardroom as well as the clubhouse.

The present example shines even brighter thanks to the beautiful ageing process it underwent, granting it a very subtle ivory patina to the sub registers which further boasts its timeless appeal. Absolutely correct in all of its part - it features MKII pushers and MKIII bezel, as expected from a late 1970s timepiece - it is furthermore complete of its sale accessories. The bracelet is also correct to the piece: ref. 78350 was introduced in 1975, and the clasp stamped “B” identifies it as a 1977 production, perfectly correct for a 1978 watch.
