The 2023 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona

The Pirelli Canada GP has attracted generations of Boston race fans to Montreal, and thanks to the movie industry, racing popularity is at an all-time high. With that in mind, there’s no watch with a stronger connection to the motorsport world than Rolex. In 1963, the Swiss brand launched the Cosmograph Daytona to show its link with the world-famous Florida racetrack. This unique timepiece became the official watch of Formula 1 racing and has evolved over the years into a supercharged artistry. If you are a racing fan and appreciate a high-quality Rolex watch, Atlanta Luxury Watches has exactly what you need. Let’s look at some exciting updates that set this timepiece apart from other luxury watches.

Defying Time

The Cosmograph Daytona has excellent technical performance, and its emblematic style has cemented its status beyond the motorsport world. To mark the 60th anniversary of this Rolex watch, the Swiss brand revisits the entire range to ensure the legend lives on. This is seen in the new Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona, which gathers inspiration across the entire range.

Rolex has revisited subtle refinements, such as a new dial graphic balance and color combinations, to highlight the contrast between the counters and the dial. The Oyster case has improved by incorporating light reflections on the lugs and sides. The versions with a Cerachrom bezel have been edged with a thin band of the same metal as the middle case.

The new Cosmograph Daytona has a 4131 caliber, an upgrade from the previous 4130 movements. Some major changes Rolex has made include the Chronergy escapement, which features new finishes and a cut-out oscillating weight. The 4131 caliber enables this watch to measure time intervals via the chronograph function and display seconds, minutes, and hours. Like other Rolex pieces in our watch store, the Oyster variant carries a Superlative Chronometer certification for high performance.

Synonymous with Speed

Since the launch of the Cosmograph Daytona in 1963, the timepiece has remained popular among professional racing drivers. The high-performance mechanical movement and tachymetric bezel are developed in-house, making it the preferred instrument to measure time intervals and determine average speeds. This is the reason the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is connected to the motorsport world.

High-Tech Ceramic

Rolex developed special ceramics for bezels and inserts, which makes the timepiece scratch proof. In addition, the colors have a rare intensity, which makes them resistant to environmental effects. The chemical composition used to develop the high-tech ceramic is inert and corrosion-resistant. Rolex leverages innovative manufacturing techniques and expertise to develop these ceramic components in-house. The new versions of the Cosmograph Daytona include a 950 platinum with an ice-blue dial and a monobloc Cerachrom bezel. The Oyster steel variant incorporates a white lacquer dial, and it comes with an 18K yellow gold.
