An icon eternally joined in name and function to the high-performance world of motor sport; it is the iconic benchmark for those with a passion for driving and fine engineering.

THE ULTIMATE CHRONOGRAPH

The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is the consummate Rolex chronograph. Efficient, precise, legible, robust, reliable, waterproof and selfwinding, it is also comfortable, elegant and timeless. Judging by the success and outstanding reputation worldwide of this peerless alchemy of form and function, it is considered in many respects to be the ultimate chronograph. More than 50 years after its launch, this embodiment of perfection is the product of a long maturation process. Each inscription on the dial of a Rolex watch is a guarantee of performance. They were added one by one to this emblematic model as it evolved. First "Cosmograph", then over the years "Oyster", "Perpetual", "Cosmograph", "Daytona" and "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" were added, chronicling a legend in watchmaking.
