The origins and the legacy of the Rolex Daytona

August 15, 2016 • Davison

Introduced in 1963, the Cosmograph Daytona was designed to meet the demands of professional racing drivers.


The reliable chronograph and bezel with tachymetric scale allowed drivers to perfectly measure average speeds up to 400 kilometres per hour. While computerised laptimers today take care of timekeeping duties, this iconic race-bred timepiece remains inextricable linked in name and function to the high performance world of motor sport.
