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 color 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 kilometers or miles per hour to be determined via a central sweep seconds hand.
