A TROPHY YOU CAN WEAR
A year after the inaugural Daytona Continental motor race in 1965, Rolex introduced a new model of the iconic Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph - called "Daytona". Fitted with a tachymetric bezel and a high-performance mechanical movement, the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona was designed to meet the needs of motor racing professionals.
Its defining feature: a tachymeter complication, a scale used to read an average speed over a given distance based on elapsed time. Rendered in metal or high-tech ceramic, it offered optimal legibility, making the Cosmograph Daytona the ideal instrument for measuring speeds of up to 400 units per hour. This was the penultimate working man's watch. After all, five-time overall winner at the Rolex 24, Scott Pruett once said, "When you come to Daytona, it's about the watch. Because if you win the watch, you're wearing it proudly."
Set in 18 ct Everose gold, with a sunset, diamond-set dial, it is still the beloved iconic sports chronograph. Even when precious metal adorns the 40 mm Oyster case, it is still guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 meters. All dressed up, this chronograph remains a paragon of robustness and reliability. Additionally, with approximately 72 hours power reserve and a beauteous reflective sheen, it is the kind of timepiece that anyone could carry.
