The Daytona was once a really simple, unpopular model that didn’t even use a Rolex movement. Clearly this chronograph has ascended more than a few rungs on the horological ladder, and this new mother-of-pearl and diamond model is probably as fancy as it gets, barring a Rainbow model. While undoubtedly a little more refined than some other variations, the Cosmograph Daytona With Diamond Bezel and Mother-of-Pearl Dials keeps the sporty essence of the chronograph with the option of a classic Oyster bracelet or a more modern Oysterflex strap.
