In 1969 Rolex replaced the first Oyster Cosmograph 6240 with both the reference 6263 and 6265. Although similar in many aspects, the main differentiating factor between the two new references was the choice of bezel. The 6263, as with this example, featured a black backed perspex with white printed Tachymetre, whereas the 6265 had a smooth metal bezel with a black infill engraved Tachymeter.
