Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona

The benchmark for all fans of motor racing and speed, having made its debut in 1963, the Cosmograph Daytona is back in pole position, now in white gold with a 40mm diameter. But what really sets this version apart is the metallic meteorite dial. Textured with natural formations known as Widmanstätten patterns, the anthracite colour of this extra-terrestrial material — composed primarily of iron and nickel — contrasts with the three black chronograph counters. There is more black on the monobloc Cerachrom ceramic bezel with a tachymetric scale. Powering this icon of speed is Calibre 4130, an automatic chronograph movement. Released in 2000 and entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, it engages the clutch with a robust column wheel and vertical clutch mechanism for an instantaneous and precise response. The wearer will appreciate the practicality of a 72-hour power reserve.
