Description

The present watch is the 2025 novelty : Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with a striking turquoise blue dial. The watch is housed in an Oyster case measuring 40mm in diameter, crafted entirely from 18 ct yellow gold.

The bezel is fashioned from black Cerachrom, Rolex’s proprietary ceramic material. A tachymetric scale is moulded directly into this bezel, by which speed calculations of up to 400 km/h can be performed. The dial is finished in a vibrant turquoise blue with black snailed counters, creating a striking contrast against the yellow gold case. 18 ct gold applied hour markers and hands covered in luminescent material decorate the dial.

At the heart of this chronograph, the manufacture Rolex calibre 4131 is installed. This self-winding mechanical movement is engineered to deliver exceptional precision of -2/+2 seconds per day, as well as bringing a power reserve of up to 72 hours when fully wound. The chronograph functions are arranged with a centre seconds hand for timing, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, and a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock. Small seconds are displayed at 6 o’clock. Stop seconds functionality is included for precise time setting.

This Daytona is fitted with Rolex’s innovative Oysterflex bracelet. Flexible metal blades and high-performance elastomer combine durability with comfort. The bracelet is secured by a folding Oysterlock safety clasp with the Rolex Glidelock extension system, allowing for fine adjustments without tools.
