The Comfortneess of a luxury Rolex Daytona Watch Band

Introduced in 1963, the Cosmograph Daytona was designed to meet the demands of professional racing drivers. It is an icon forever joined in name and function to the high-performance world of motorsport. More than 50 years after its creation, the Cosmograph Daytona remains in a class of its own among sports chronographs and continues to transcend time.
The Rolex Daytona is a sports watch made famous by the iconic Paul Newman and cherished by Rolex fans ever since. The legendary 1968 Daytona Rolex owned by Paul Newman is considered a timeless relic amongst collectors and fans for decades. It appeals to people way beyond the watch world. Having roots and ties in so many collecting communities, from clone watch aficionados to the film industry ‘Hollywood memorabilia’ and motorsports and car fanatics. It is also a piece of Americana that appeals to the American history community. A unique timepiece “gifted to Paul Newman by his wife Joanne Woodward is engraved with the message “Drive Carefully” about his love for racing in 1968.
This timepiece is not only unique by who owned it and it’s sentimental meaning, but it is also known as one of the most expensive wrist-watch ever made, given the price tag of £1,000,000, which after 12 minutes of bidding was sold to a bidder on the telephone, setting a new record for the highest price ever achieved for a wristwatch at auction.
The Cosmograph Daytona is equipped with calibre 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement developed and manufactured by clone Rolex. Its architecture incorporates fewer components than a standard chronograph, thereby enhancing the movement’s reliability. It also saves space, making it possible to house a large mainspring and delivers a power reserve of 72 hours.
This mechanical system functions on the principle of two discs, one above the other, which work together by direct friction contact and offer significant advantages: the precision of the start and stop functions as well as the smooth running of the chronograph seconds hand as soon as the pusher is pressed; and the capacity of the chronograph to function for long periods of time with no negative impact on the precision of the watch.
The Cosmograph Daytona is inextricably linked to the world of motor racing. It allows drivers to measure elapsed time and read average speeds on its trademark tachymetric bezel. The watch pays tribute to Daytona, Florida, where passion for speed and racing developed in the early 20th century.
