SUMMARY

The green dial Daytona has become something of a cult watch. Already produced in low quantities, its endorsement by musician John Mayer has piqued collectors’ interest and resulted in a rapid increase in value and desirability. The 40mm Oyster case and bracelet are crafted from 18K yellow gold, providing heft and plenty of wrist presence. A fixed bezel displays an engraved tachymeter scale as a nod to the model’s motorsport heritage. The dial is finished in a striking green tone with applied yellow gold indices and hands. The sub-registers are defined by gold chapter rings with red circles inboard providing a subtle splash of colour alongside the ‘DAYTONA’ script. Despite its luxurious specification, the watch has genuine utility with a screw-down crown and pushers offering 100m of waterproofness. Housed inside the case is Rolex’s long-running in-house calibre 4130. Capable of keeping accurate time to within -2/+2 sec a day, the movement is chronometer-certified and has an impressive 72-hour power reserve.
