Rolex Daytona Cosmograph: Oyster, 40 mm, Platinum, Dial ice blue, m126506-0001

The bezel, which has a tachymetric scale molded into it to measure average speeds of up to 400 miles or kilometers per hour, is a crucial component of the model’s character. Numerous benefits come with the high-tech ceramic monobloc Cerachrom bezel, including resistance to corrosion, near-scratch resistance, and color retention against UV light.

Thanks to the PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) technology, which deposits a thin coating of platinum in the numerals and graduations, this incredibly durable bezel also gives an extraordinarily readable tachymetric scale. With its one-piece construction, the monobloc Cerachrom bezel ensures waterproofness by securely holding the crystal in place on the central case.

This particular model has an ice-blue dial with snailed counters, highly readable luminous material called Chromalight display for the hands and hour markers, and hour markers made of 18 carat gold appliqué.

The dial’s two counters show the elapsed time in hours and minutes, while the center sweep seconds hand provides a precise reading of 1/8 second. Drivers are always able to plot their track times and strategies precisely.
