THE TACHYMETRIC SCALE
HIGH-PERFORMANCE CHRONOGRAPH
A defining element of this model’s identity is its bezel, crafted with a tachymetric scale that allows for the measurement of average speeds up to 400 miles or kilometers per hour. Merging cutting-edge technology with refined aesthetics, the black bezel pays homage to the 1965 model, which featured a black Plexiglas insert. Made from a single block of high-tech ceramic, the monobloc Cerachrom bezel offers several key advantages: it is highly resistant to corrosion, virtually scratchproof, and its color remains unaffected by exposure to ultraviolet rays. This remarkably durable bezel also ensures outstanding legibility of the tachymetric scale, achieved through the application of a thin layer of platinum into the numerals and markers using the Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) technique. Crafted as a single, seamless component, the Cerachrom bezel not only enhances the design but also securely holds the crystal against the middle case, reinforcing the watch’s waterproofness.
TURQUOISE BLUE DIAL
WITH CHRONOGRAPH COUNTERS
This model showcases a striking turquoise blue and black dial, accented with snailed counters and adorned with gold applied hour markers and hands. Enhanced by the Chromalight display—a highly legible luminescent material—it ensures optimal readability in any lighting condition. Designed with precision in mind, the dial enables drivers to map out their lap times and racing strategies with exceptional accuracy and confidence.

THE OYSTERFLEX BRACELET
HIGHLY RESISTANT AND DURABLE
The 18 ct gold editions of the Cosmograph Daytona featuring a Cerachrom bezel are offered with the innovative Oysterflex bracelet. Exclusively developed and patented by Rolex, this bracelet uniquely merges the strength and durability of a metal bracelet with the flexibility and comfort of high-performance elastomer. At its core, the Oysterflex bracelet houses two curved, flexible metal blades—one in each segment—encased in a resilient black elastomer for exceptional durability. To enhance wearability, it features cushion inserts on the inner side for added comfort, along with an Oysterlock safety clasp that prevents accidental opening. The bracelet’s fit can be finely adjusted thanks to the sophisticated Rolex Glidelock extension system, ensuring a secure and personalized wearing experience.
