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. In the description of the watches when it is marked "in running condition" it means that the watch is in operation. Since collector's watches often have delicate and complex mechanisms, the buyer is responsible for any general service, overhaul, battery change, adjustment or repair that may be necessary. We do not guarantee the perfect functioning of any watch. All photographs of our watches are original and have been taken by our photographers, that is to say, we do not work with stock photography and that is why the photographs are considered part of the cataloging.
