Rolex is one of the leading brands when it comes to men’s luxury watches. It’s a fact that without a cool watch man’s fashion remained incomplete, and credit goes to the Rolex who set numerous trends in the world of horology. A watch should be like give you completeness and edge that you need to have. And Rolex has launched a number of fine wristwatches almost for every field of life in this regard. Although Rolex watches are costly and probably, every watch lover doesn’t afford them. In that case personally, I will recommend you to go with Swiss Replica Watches. All replica watches are not good; many of South Asian Replica Watches come with substandard materials. For me, it’s absolutely right decision to own a fine replica watch when you can’t afford an authentic. Today I would like to describe Rolex iconic model Cosmograph Daytona, better known as Daytona. How this classless watch model became the darling of many people? From many decades, Rolex had been manufacturing its chronograph before the Rolex Daytona came along. There are two aesthetic elements that make the Rolex Daytona distinctive from others. Its external tachymeter bezel and lovely color scheme of dial with chronograph registers.
In 1953, Rolex registered the name Cosmograph and till 1956 Rolex used it on their “moon-phase”. Initially, the brand used “Chronograph” instead of “Cosmograph” on their two sub-dial models but later for three dialed Chronographs started using Cosmograph. And until about 1962, there was not used the word “Daytona” for any watch. In those days, NASCAR racing became popular and in 1966, Rolex was the official timekeeper of NASCAR Daytona Race so, the Cosmograph Daytona picked the name from that event. You may say that Daytona is a memorial designation on the dial. All through the 60’s and 70’s, this chronograph was available with and without “Daytona” mention on the dial. With the rest of the time after few years simply Daytona became the standard name to refer this iconic model.
Almost three series of Rolex Daytona has released till now. Firstly the original series that remained in production till late 80’s with manual wind movement. To meet the demand of this iconic model, the second series of Daytona was launched in 1988, with a Zenith “El Primero” automatic winding movement but with some modification. Daytona third series introduced in 2000 with a Rolex in-house produced movement, also assigned six digit model numbers.
Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is a true sports watch; the real fame received this iconic watch with the association of annual 24 Hours of Daytona race and famous actor Paul Newman. The legend,Mr. Paul Newman wore this beauty on his wrist from 1972 to until his death in 2008.

Personally I am very impressed from Rolex Cosmograph Daytona because of its exotic dial models and Oyster case that allow the user to wear it with a free mind either as sports or a lifestyle watch. This Oyster case also provides a complete protection to the watch from water even taking a dip in the pool or a rainstorm.
