Rolex Cosmograph Daytona

First introduced in 1963, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona was designed for professional racing drivers and has since become one of the world’s most coveted timepieces. Its iconic design features a 40 mm Oyster case, screw-down pushers, and a tachymeter bezel — allowing drivers to measure speeds up to 400 units per hour.

The dial layout includes three sub-dials: a 30-minute counter, 12-hour counter, and small seconds, ensuring maximum precision and functionality. The Chromalight luminous markers provide exceptional readability, whether on the racetrack or in everyday wear.

At the heart of the Daytona is the Rolex Calibre 4130, an in-house automatic chronograph movement with a 72-hour power reserve. Built with a vertical clutch and column wheel, it delivers unmatched accuracy and smooth chronograph operation. As a Superlative Chronometer, it guarantees precision to −2/+2 seconds per day.

Available in a wide range of materials — from Oystersteel to 18k yellow, white, or Everose gold, and even platinum — the Daytona adapts to both sporting and luxury environments. Bracelet options include the robust Oyster bracelet or the sporty Oysterflex strap, each fitted with the Oysterlock clasp and Easylink extension system for comfort and security.

Water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), the Daytona is as reliable as it is iconic. Revered by collectors and motorsport enthusiasts alike, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is not just a chronograph — it is a symbol of prestige, speed, and timeless design.
