Standout features of the Rolex Daytona

Over the years, the Rolex Daytona has earned a lot of fame and popularity due to the affiliation of this watch with the world famous Paul Newman and the outstanding features this watch has to offer. While the other Rolex watch collections are outstanding as well, there is just something about the Daytona that sets it aside from the rest of the collections.

The first thing that comes to mind when you think about the Rolex Daytona watches is the purpose behind these watches. The main purpose behind the Rolex Daytona was not to design watches for the usual consumer, but for professional race car drivers who needed to track their driving speed and the average speed. So the Rolex Daytona came into the marking in the early 60s, as an important innovation in the watchmaking industry. The reliability factor on the Rolex Daytona was definitely one of the best features on this watch which attracted a lot of attention towards it from famous race car drivers from all over the world.

One of those famous drivers was none other than Paul Newman, who was also quite famous as an actor back in the day. His love for the Rolex Daytona grew to the extent that he would never come to any race without wearing his watch. The bezel of the Rolex Daytona has a tachymeter scale engraved on it which has a maximum value of 400 units per hour; the purpose of the tachymeter is to allow the race car drivers to record their average speed and work on it accordingly.

Another feature on the Rolex Daytona is the calibre that is used in this watch. It has taken Rolex several years to perfect this calibre as the earlier Rolex Daytona watches used a different calibre than this one. When Rolex came up with the calibre 4130, it was a groundbreaking achievement for the company as this version of the calibre was a lot more reliable than the ones that were previously being used. This calibre is more resistant towards shocks and can adjust to changes in temperature quite easily as well.

An outstanding feature on the Rolex Daytona is the screw down crowns on the side of the watch which are designed to be extremely precise when you push them to activate the chronograph function on this watch. When you are not using these pushdown crowns, they can be screwed down and the watch becomes waterproof up to an amazing range of a 100-metre depth. The activation process of the chronograph features are not that complicated and all that is needed is a slight push which, due to several years being spent in order to perfect these important details on the Rolex Daytona, will then start, reset or stop the chronograph counter in the watch.

These few features that have been mentioned about the Rolex Daytona really make it a worthy watch to splurge on especially if you are a driver and are looking for a precise, reliable watch.
