Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116506

An icon in the world of high-performance luxury sports watches since its inception in 1963, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116506 was designed using strategies and tactics worthy of a Formula 1 team. It's evolved considerably in 50 years but has always remained faithful to the aesthetics and engineering excellence of the original.
The ice blue dial of this 40 mm timepiece elevates it beyond sports watch to thing of beauty. It has a soft lustre that perfectly compliments the high shine of the platinum bracelet and case, creating a sense of light, speed and weightlessness, three things that embody the essence of racing.
While we're on the subject of speed, the tachymetric scale on the chestnut-coloured bezel allows drivers to accurately measure speed up to 400 kmh (or mph). Engraved with numerals and markers that translate into any measurement of speed, the tachymeter is an instrument no serious driver should be without.
Reliability and accuracy are at the heart of this watch. Once upon a time, the world of racing relied on a man standing at the side of the track with a stopwatch in his hand. The central sweep seconds hand on the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116506 is accurate to 1/8 second. That's just for starters. You'll notice there are two counters on the dial display. These show the amount of time lapsed in hours and minutes. The point of this is to allow teams and drivers to pinpoint their track times accurately and use the information to help them inform their tactics.
Particularly handy if there's a sliver of a time difference between you and your F1 team-mate and you want to be the one to climb to the top of the podium at the end of the grand prix.
Everything on this watch was developed using state-of-the-art technology: right down to the click of the pushers. Simply press once to start, stop or reset the chronograph. The action of your finger will have an instantaneous effect because Rolex made sure they engineered the pushers of the Cosmograph Daytona 116506 to react to the ideal finger pressure. No false starts.
The 4130 automatic movement is particularly noteworthy because it's made up of fewer components than you find in the movement of a typical chronograph. Think of an F1 car. Throughout the history of the sport, F1 teams have searched for ways to make their cars lighter and faster without sacrificing safety, balance or accuracy. The streamlined 4130 movement was designed to enhance reliability without affecting accuracy. A similar principle. And the paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring defends the 4130 calibre from surprise shocks, which are part and parcel of racing. It's also worth noting here that the 72-hour power reserve is longer than the standard 48 hours you'll find on most chronographs.
One final word on safety and security regarding the Cosmograph Daytona . The folding safety clasp on the bracelet and the Easylink 5 mm extension link. Neither are anywhere near as exciting as the ice blue dial or the tachymetric scale but they are basically the seatbelt of this luxury timepiece. Once it's fastened you won't have to give a second thought to the possibility of it coming loose when you hit sixth gear. Oh, and if you happen to be attending a pool party after the race, your watch is waterproof to 100 m so it won't matter if you decide to take a dip. Buckle up and go, go, go!
