Celebrating Cultural Heritage at FC Channel Show 2025 with Nobunaga Daytona

An Unforgettable Experience with Nobunaga Daytona

On July 26, 2025, the FC Channel Show 2025 took place at Akihabara UDX, where a remarkable event unfolded—an experiential showcase featuring the captivating Nobunaga Daytona. This extraordinary masterpiece was donned by Okazaki Kiyoshi, the CEO of NORTH SIDE, a company specializing in rental storage solutions including trunk rooms and motorcycle garages.

The Nobunaga Daytona (Ref. 6263/Ser. 6412345) is not just any watch; it is a rare chronograph model produced by Rolex in the 1970s, renowned for its historical significance and rarity. The reference number 6263 draws a striking connection to the birth and death dates of the famous warlord Oda Nobunaga (June 23 and June 2, respectively). Furthermore, the serial number 6412345 boasts a remarkable sequence, lending this timepiece its unique nickname. This illustrious watch has previously fetched around 2.8 billion yen at global auctions, substantiating its status as a unique vintage piece cherished by collectors.
