High-Speed Elegance: ROLEX’S New Cosmograph Daytona

Rolex reimagines one of its legendary creations with the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in 18 carat yellow gold with a turquoise lacquer dial. The signature bright black chronograph counters contrast a modern, high-energy take on the motorsport timing icon. A black Cerachrom monobloc bezel with recessed and gold-coated tachymetric scale markings frames the dial and reinforces the watch’s racing heritage.

Beneath the surface, the Daytona is driven by the cutting-edge Calibre 4131, a self-winding mechanical movement with column wheel and vertical clutch architecture. It features the patented Chronergy escapement, a blue Parachrom hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers, and a power reserve of approximately 72 hours—all tested to Superlative Chronometer standards of −2/+2 seconds per day.

The 40mm Oyster case is a fortress of waterproof engineering, offering 100m of resistance through the Triplock triple-sealed crown, screw-down case back, and robust sapphire crystal. Secured on Rolex’s patented Oysterflex bracelet—flexible metal blades overmolded with high-performance elastomer—it offers exceptional comfort, while the Oysterlock clasp and Glidelock extension system provide precise sizing refinement up to 15mm without tools. With its dynamic visual identity, technical mastery, and unrivaled sporting pedigree, this latest iteration continues to set the pace on and beyond the track.
