The Daytona is the name of an original Rolex type of watch. Sometimes also called an "Oyster Professional Cosmograph," the Daytona has earned the nickname of “racing driver's choice." It was made to measure elapsed time and to calculate average speed in a race.
The Rolex Daytona Replica should be equipped with a sweep second hand, minute and hour ""totalizators"" activated by push buttons, and a graduated bezel that performs like a tachometer.
Rolex released a new version of the Daytona in 1991 that contained a Zenith movement. The new version featured large dials and had an inner track in a contrasting color. Dial colors included black, white, champagne and each watch had ""Daytona"" in red on the dial.
The stainless steel Daytona has become one of the most sought after watches. There have been a few dial refinements, but the main difference is that latest Rolex is now using an in-house movement instead of the old Zenith one.
The genuine Rolex Daytona is self-winding and waterproof to 330 feet (100 meters), has an engraved tachometer bezel, and steel dial with yellow gold. The Rolex Daytona replica will only be water resistant for 100 feet (30 meter) diving and that is only if you purchase the Grade 1 Swiss Rolex Replica. (The Daytona Rolex Replica may also be purchased in Grades 2 - 5 and, therefore, be less expensive.)
This Rolex Replica has either a beautiful black or white face and a stainless steel oyster band. You will often get fully functional chronographs and a Valjoux automatic jewel movement. This movement allows the user to time one continuous event. The high-end price – $1400 for the Swiss (Grade 1) model – reflects the top of the line replica quality.
The 2005 Daytona Rolex Replica may have a 25-jewel Miyota automatic movement in the Japanese (Grade 2) Rolex replica. Only the white face, stainless steel band model carries all the following upgrades: Sharper dial markings due to a new laser-etching process, night Illumination, a fully functional chronograph with day, date and 24 military hours indicator, solid stainless steel with similar weight of an original, and sapphire crystal glass for better protection on the face.
