The new Daytona exhibits an exclusive monobloc bezel which is made of an advanced ceramic virtually impervious to scratches, corrosion and fading. The graduations on the bezel, offering perfect readability, are obtained by the deposition of a fine layer of pink gold. The new Daytona is a distillation of sportiness, technology and refinement; its sophisticated aesthetics are underscored by the materials used: the case in 18 ct Everose gold; the chocolate brown dial; the strap in black alligator leather and the Everose gold clasp. The Daytona allows short periods of elapsed time to be measured to within 1?8th of a second, and the tachymetric scale on the bezel enables the instant reading of speed over a given distance. This high-precision Daytona chronograph is driven by a movement with a column wheel and vertical clutch entirely designed and manufactured by Rolex. Thanks to its revolutionary architecture, the fruit of years of research, the chronograph function has 60% fewer components. The result: a less complex movement and appreciably increased reliability.
