The reference 6294 is part of the first generation of Oysterdate models, prior to the widespread use of automatic caliber, and is equipped with the robust and accurate manual caliber 790. Its manual winding caliber, along with the date in red, brings a vintage touch very appreciated by collectors. This type of dater, rare today, is a distinctive nod to 1950s watchmaking.
