The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is a mechanical chronograph wristwatch designed to meet the needs of racing drivers by measuring elapsed time and calculating average speed. Its name refers to Daytona, Florida, where racing flourished in the early 20th century. It has been manufactured by Rolex since 1963 in three distinct generations (or series); the second series was introduced in 1988, and the third in 2000. While cosmetically similar, the second series introduced a self-winding movement (the first series is hand-wound), and the third series brought manufacture of the movement in-house to Rolex.

  • The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is a mechanical chronograph wristwatch designed to meet the needs of racing drivers by measuring elapsed time and calculating average speed. Its name refers to Daytona, Florida, where racing flourished in the early 20th century. It has been manufactured by Rolex since 1963 in three distinct generations (or series); the second series was introduced in 1988, and the third in 2000. While cosmetically similar, the second series introduced a self-winding movement (the first series is hand-wound), and the third series brought manufacture of the movement in-house to Rolex. The first series included an "exotic" variant dial now known as the Rolex "Paul Newman" Daytona, named after the famed actor, who received the watch as a gift from his wife, Joanne Woodward, and popularized it by wearing it consistently while pursuing his racing career. Years later, the actor's watch, which had been gifted to his daughter's boyfriend in 1984, was sold in 2017 at the Phillips New York Winning Icons auction for a record (for wristwatches) $17.8 million. The current Cosmograph Daytona is equipped with a tachymetric scale, a sweep seconds hand for reading to 1/8 of a second, and elapsed-time hours and minute displays. Its Rolex calibre 4130 has the particularity of using a vertical (rather than lateral) clutch to activate the chronograph, and was engineered to feature a reduced number of components for greater reliability. The minute and hour systems of this series is simplified with one single mechanism placed on a side of the movement (used to consist of two mechanisms placed on both sides of the movement). With a 40mm case, it is available in a variety of materials. (en)

  • Rolex Daytona är en klockmodell från Rolex som tillverkats sedan 1963. Denna modell har bland annat kronograf, 44 juvelers urverk med 78 timmars energireserv och är vattentät till 100 meter. Det gamla urverket var El Primero, numera används Rolex egna "Inhouse" urverk. Vissa menar att El Primero var mer exakt men det finns det dock inga bekräftelser på. Rolex tillverkar även andra modeller som till exempel Submariner, Date-Just, Day-Date GMT Master II med fler. * * * (sv)

  • A wristwatch manufactured by the Swiss brand Rolex. The watch is constructed from stainless steel with a sapphire crystal covering a black dial. The watch has a timing feature which uses the large seconds hand which makes one complete revolution over a single minute, and includes three sub-dials. Two of these sub-dials track elapsed minutes and hours, and the other sub-dial tracks seconds for the current time, as the main seconds hand is used for the timing feature. (en)

  • "One of the days at the treehouse, Paul [Newman] asked me what time it was, to set his watch. I replied, 'I don’t know—I don’t have a watch.' He was clearly surprised. So he said, 'Here, here’s a watch. If you wind it, it tells pretty good time.' " Newman handed James [Cox] his Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. "At that time, I knew Rolex was an amazing brand, but I had no idea how significant the watch was," James says. (en)
