03 / Editorial story
A reason to look again.
The racing dial changes the character of the Cosmograph Daytona. Where the classic dial keeps its registers within a quiet field, the blue racing dial opens the face: large white Arabic numerals stand over the subdials at 3, 6 and 9, and the eye reads the watch at a glance.
Two-tone construction in steel and yellow gold gives the configuration warmth on the bracelet and restraint on the case. Inside is the Calibre 4030, the automatic chronograph movement of this generation of the Daytona.
Why this watch matters
