ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA

The latest rendition of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is arrayed with a resplendent turquoise blue lacquer dial punctuated by bright black counters. Crafted in 18 ct yellow gold, this new watch is crowned with a black Cerachrom bezel showcasing the celebrated tachymetric scale, and is complemented by an Oysterflex bracelet with Oysterlock safety clasp. This iconic model that is linked to the world of motor sport and the measurement of elapsed time carries the Superlative Chronometer certification, ensuring excellent performance on the wrist.

The Cosmograph Daytona features a monobloc Cerachrom bezel in black ceramic, on which recessed graduations, numerals and inscriptions are moulded and then, via a PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) process, coated with a thin layer of metal - yellow gold for the tachymetric scale.

Rolex played a pioneering role in the development of special ceramics to create particular elements of its watch cases - notably monobloc bezels and monobloc bezel inserts. Not only are these materials particularly scratch resistant, their colours are also of a rare intensity and are resistant to environmental effects. In addition, thanks to their chemical composition, the high-tech ceramics are inert and cannot corrode. The brand has developed exclusive expertise and innovative manufacturing methods that grant it complete independence in the production of these ceramic components.
