Description: A very special Daytona announced in Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Le Mans.
This new Daytona is Rolex doing a throwback design in its own way. A homage is something we’ve never seen Rolex do.
A mixture of the new symmetrical case, metal edged bezel, reconfigured dial lay out and new movement along with the Daytona Paul Newman styling and aesthetics of the very first Daytona which itself links back to Le Mans.
A marriage made in heaven because the 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most storied and prestigious endurance race on the planet. The Rolex Daytona is the most famous mechanical chronograph on that same planet.
Did you Know??
The Rolex Daytona, by all accounts, was originally going to be called the Rolex Le Mans. Daytona would eventually take the billing thanks to Rolex’s sponsorship of the 24 Hours of Daytona in the mid-1960s.
But it was Le Mans that set the table some 60 years ago. So while this new Daytona released in June celebrates 100 years of the Le Mans race, it also marks 60 years since the Rolex Cosmograph was on the cusp of going by the very same name.
