A year ago the Daytona luxury collection celebrated 50 years of existence. The actor and motor racing fan, Paul Newman , (if you think this name sounds familiar, you are right, check the first James Bond movies) made famous this watch, wearing it every day until the day of his death.
The resonance of this celebration which happened at Baselworld 2013 still has resonances between its fans even this year and it will continue.
To have a look back to Daytona beginnings, the first model was launched in 1963. In 1970 the collection was advertised by Paul Newman, which became a symbol of this brand. Collectors even make a reference of “Paul Newman dial” when they talk about different Daytona models.
The watch released on 50th Daytona anniversary combines two extravagant colors, Rolex entitles them an “ice blue” for dial mixed with a “chestnut brown” bezel. This notorious edition is priced much more than a regular Daytona timepiece, reaching $75,000. This exclusive model can measure speeds of 400 miles per hour.
The model includes a 40mm diameter case that is water-resistance up to 100 meters. The case is shaped from a solid 950 platinum block. The crystal is created from a scratch-resistant sapphire. Platinum is contained on the borders and also on the hour markers and hands, which have a Chromalight substance emanating a blue light lasting for more than 8 hours.
