Rolex Cosmograph Daytona
The triumph of endurance
Launched in 1963, the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona has long since
transcended its status in the world of watchmaking to become an icon.
Its name, inextricably linked with the famous circuit at Daytona Beach, Florida,
embodies the ties between Rolex and motor sport, in particular, the world’s greatest endurance
races. Its legendary status owes much to its instantly recognizable dial with contrasting circles.
Continually perfected and enhanced over the years, the Cosmograph Daytona is the reliable and
precise companion of those who choose to forge their own path.
The Cosmograph Daytona is emblematic of Rolex’s expertise and stands out by virtue of its
chronometric precision as well as its unfailing reliability.

A legendary design
Bezel, minute track and three counters: this characteristic five-circle iconography is
emblematic of the Cosmograph Daytona. Over time, the design of the dials, the colour combinations and the
architecture of the cases have been regularly reworked to reaffirm the elegance of the model.
A key part of the Cosmograph Daytona’s identity, the tachymetric scale is located on the bezel of
the watch. It allows average speeds of up to 400 kilometres or miles per hour to be determined via a central
sweep seconds hand.

shock absorbers and an optimized ball bearing.

Breaking away from convention
Since its launch, the Cosmograph Daytona has been the watch of choice for motor sport
enthusiasts. Like Paul Newman, the legendary actor, experienced racing driver and pioneering social
entrepreneur, Sir Jackie Stewart, an emblematic figure of Formula 1® and one of the most celebrated drivers
of the past 50 years, Tom Kristensen, the Danish racing driver who won a record nine 24 Hours of Le Mans
races, and Jamie Chadwick, the young British racing driver who has become the new women’s reference for
single-seaters, many have adopted the chronograph in their everyday lives beyond the racetrack.
