Rolex Daytona Black Dial

The Tachymetric Rolex Daytona Black Dial Scale

A key part of the model’s identity is the bezel molded with a tachymetric scale for measuring average speeds of up to 400 miles or kilometers per hour. Blending high technology with sleek aesthetics, the black bezel is reminiscent of the 1965 model that was fitted with a black Plexiglas bezel insert.

This model features a black dial with snailed counters, 18 ct gold applique hour markers, and hands with a Chromalight display, a highly-legible luminescent material. The central sweep seconds hand allows an accurate reading of 1/8 second, while the two counters on the dial display the elapsed time in hours and minutes. Drivers can accurately map out their track times and tactics without fail.

OYSTERSTEEL

Rolex Daytona uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished, and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.
