The most important thing about the replica Rolex Daytona What you should know about the chronograph icon Rolex Daytona

Discover the Rolex Daytona : The chronograph designed especially for racers, he is one of the most famous timepieces and a sought-after collector’s item. After a start from the second row, he quickly became a myth. Today, the famous Daytona in steel has been the object of desire for many since Hollywood star Paul Newman wore an early version of the model. But not only that contributes to the success of the model: Rolex does not bring nearly as many Daytonas on the market, as could actually be sold. This, of course, fuels the desire for the most desirable replica watch in the world. The following article provides an overview of the history of the Daytona as well as info, pictures, wrist shots on the current models.

The fame of the replica Rolex brand is mainly the responsibility of Datejust, fake Day-Date, Submariner and GMT-Master. For many years, the manufactory focused on watches with three hands – stop measurements were not in the foreground of the waterproof Oyster collection. Although Rolex also produced chronographs, these with foreign works and in ordinary, classic cases without special waterproofness. Only later did they begin to equip the Oyster cases with chronograph movements.

The name was initially neither “Cosmograph” nor “Daytona” chosen – although the former was registered since 1953 for Rolex. On the dial of the reference 6234, which was built between 1955 and 1961 and cost around $ 200 at the beginning of the sixties, stood simply “chronograph”. Every year about 500 copies left the workshops of Rolex. A special success was the clock not granted: The first models were often for years at the dealer’s, as other manufacturers had long been established on the topic of the chronograph.

Today, the so-called Pre-Daytonas are rare and sought after 20,000 us are just the starting price in one of the rare models with a silver or black dial in a stainless steel case.

At the beach of replica Daytona, Florida, speed races were held starting in 1903, where new records were regularly set up. One of the most successful racers on the circuit was Sir Malcolm Campbell, who improved his own world records year after year in his “Bluebird” after his biggest competitor, Henry Segrave, was killed in a boating accident. As a British world record holder, Campell wore a Rolex in the 1930s – and also in the race. The robustness of his Oyster convinced him, as a telegram to Rolex from the year 1935 proves: “Yesterday in the record attempt worn Rolex watch, runs in spite of heavy demands still magnificent”.

The later race track of fake Daytona, an elongated oval with a slight kink, ran partly on the beach and the other half on the shore road. It was not until 1959 that the first races were completed on the tarmac, at the recently opened Daytona International Speedway, which was the fastest track in the United States at the time and one of the first “super speed bikes” in the world.

replica Rolex began its involvement as an official timekeeper in 1962, and a year later, the Cosmograph reference 6239 appeared. The nickname “Daytona” gave it to Rolex in the same year to emphasize its connection to the image-laden races. Thus, the winner of a race not only won a trophy, but also the cosmographers designed for racers. And because the replica Rolex Daytona was built for racers, the tachymeter scale on the bezel was significantly larger than most other manufacturers.
