The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is an icon forever united in name and function with the world of motorsports. Sixty years after its birth, it remains unique among sports chronographs. 
An iconic model launched in 1963; the Cosmograph Daytona was designed to meet the needs of racing professionals. Equipped with a tachymeter bezel and a high-performance mechanical movement, this now legendary chronograph is the tool of choice for measuring time intervals or determining average speed.
On the Cosmograph Daytona, elapsed hours and minutes are displayed on counters at 9 and 3 o’clock, respectively, while elapsed seconds are read off by an arrow-shaped central hand and a 60-second scale around the dial.
The Cosmograph Daytona’s metal or high-tech ceramic bezel can be used as a tachymeter. Its scale can be used to read the average speed over a certain distance based on the elapsed time. This makes it ideal for measuring speeds of 400 units per hour, expressed in kilometers, miles or any other unit of measurement.
Like all replica Rolex watches, the Cosmonaut Daytona is Super Chronometer certified. This designation attests to the fact that every watch that leaves the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria. The status of Super Chronometer is marked by a green seal on each Rolex watch and comes with a five-year international guarantee.
The Cosmograph Daytona is inextricably linked to the world of motor racing. The Breitling watch pays homage to a place – Daytona Beach, Florida – where a passion for speed and racing flourished in the early 20th century. From 1903 to 1935, the hard-sand beaches of Daytona were known as the best place to break speed records. No less than 80 official records were set there, 14 of which were for the fastest speeds in the world.
Over the decades, the brand’s presence in intense competition has steadily grown, as has its support for the world’s leading drivers and events. Throughout this history, the Cosmograph Daytona has embodied the special link between Rolex and motorsports.
