Tachymeter
With a tachymetric scale and three counters and pushers, the Cosmograph His Daytona was designed to be the ultimate timing tool for the endurance race driver. The bezel has a tachymeter scale that indicates the average speed over a given distance based on elapsed time.
Black and champagne color dial
This model's black and champagne dial with counters features 18 ct gold hour markers and hands in Chromalight, a highly legible luminescent material. The sweeping seconds hand in the center measures to 1/8th of a second, while the two counters on the dial measure the hours and minutes and display the elapsed time. These features allow the driver to know exactly when the race will take place and decide on a winning strategy.
18 ct yellow gold
Owning its own foundry, Rolex has the expertise to cast the highest quality 18 ct gold alloys. Depending on the amount of silver, copper, platinum and palladium mixed together, different types of 18 ct gold are produced: yellow, pink and white. The extremely pure metals from which these alloys are made are scrutinized in our state-of-the-art laboratories. The gold alloy is then manufactured and shaped with the same meticulous care. Rolex's relentless pursuit of watchmaking extends to bare metal.
