Model 6262 info?

[FL_Gators]

I recently (a year ago) got a model 6262 Daytona Chronograph from my father. It has been sitting in a drawer for many years. I've been wearing it for the past several months, winding it everyday. It keeps perfect time and looks great. I've been searching the internet for info about this particular model and haven't been able to find another quite like it. It is SS and has a black face with white dials. "Daytona" lettering is also white. Anyone familiar with this particular style?

Quite a vauable watch now the Daytona 6262/4 came out first around 1965 and had a run of 6 years only, it had the new type Valjoux 72/7 movement,Its more rare to have daytona in white letters, please post picture of your watch.Later models from 1971 on like the 6263/5 had screw down pushers and triplock winding crowns.
