The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona remains one of the most iconic chronographs in watchmaking history. This year’s model features the classic black-and-white “Panda” dial, reminiscent of the vintage 1970s Ref. 6263, which is highly sought-after by collectors. The Daytona has become a symbol of precision, reliability, and Rolex’s motorsport heritage.
The 40mm stainless steel case is paired with a black ceramic bezel and a lacquered white dial highlighted by black subdial scales. For a cleaner and more readable appearance, all three subdials feature simplified numeric markers, balancing elegance and functionality. Rolex’s signature Oyster bracelet ensures a comfortable and secure fit for daily wear.
Inside, the watch houses the improved Caliber 4130 automatic movement, operating at 4 Hz with a 72-hour power reserve. The movement is equipped with Rolex’s proprietary Parachrom hairspring, providing excellent resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, maintaining daily accuracy within -2/+2 seconds. Collectors appreciate the Daytona for its blend of mechanical excellence and robustness.
The Panda dial design evokes vintage racing watches, making it highly collectible. In addition to the white dial, a black dial variant is available for those preferring a more understated look. Its combination of heritage aesthetics, modern movement, and chronograph functionality ensures that the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona remains a top choice for enthusiasts and investors alike.
