Presented by Wclocks
Rolex has long been a name associated with luxury, precision, and timeless design. The Cosmograph Daytona is one of its most iconic models—deeply rooted in the high-speed world of motorsport.
Originating in Daytona Beach, Florida, the story began when Rolex became the official timekeeper of the Daytona International Speedway in 1962. From there, a legend was born—one that blends technical innovation, racing heritage, and cultural prestige.
Focus on Self-Winding Models (1988–Present):
Explores the automatic Daytona models, from the Zenith-powered references to Rolex’s in-house calibers.
Chronicles the evolution of the Cosmograph Daytona and its legendary association with motorsport and icons like Paul Newman.
Features detailed imagery of rare models, casebacks, movements, and dial variations—perfect for serious collectors and enthusiasts.
Expert Authors:
Authored by respected horology experts Grégoire Rossier, Tiffany To, and Anthony Marquié.
A definitive resource for watch collectors, dealers, and Rolex fans seeking deeper technical and historical understanding.
Rolex's chronograph journey began in the 1930s, culminating in the launch of the first Cosmograph Daytona in 1963. Over the decades, the Daytona has remained at the forefront of horological design and engineering. This second volume in the series focuses exclusively on self-winding models produced after 1988, offering unmatched depth and clarity.
At Wclocks we are proud to offer this expertly crafted volume—an essential addition to the library of any Rolex collector or vintage watch enthusiast.
