Sporting a high-tech ceramic bezel in 18-karat white, yellow or Everose gold with an Oysterflex rubber strap (elastomer reinforced with a metal blade), the just launched 2017 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ($27,500+) gets a refreshed look that is sure to spark contrasting opinions among the Rolex fans.
The inner workings are the same as its predecessor’s: a super-accurate (to +2/-2 seconds per day), self-winding 4130 movement with 72 hours of power reserve, housed inside a 40mm-wide oyster case that’s water resistant to 100M, protected by scratch-proof sapphire crystal. Since its inception back in 1963, this fine timepiece established itself as one of the best chronographs in the world, and it sure looks the new iteration will carry on the legacy.
