2023 is a very unique year for both motorsport and Rolex. On the one hand, the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans is celebrating its 100th anniversary, as you can read in this feature article. On the other hand, Rolex's most iconic chronograph – a watch dedicated to motorsports – was celebrating its 60th anniversary earlier this year with a serious update. That, of course, is Cosmograph Daytona. Today, Rolex uncharacteristically launched an original version to commemorate the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Of course, it's a Daytona, and this new reference 126529LN is special on so many levels... just to name one factor, it brings back some of the details of the iconic and very desirable "exotic" dials of the past ( Mainly the chronograph dial), also known as the Paul Newman dial. Yes, this is big news!

Overall, there is a strong connection between Rolex and motorsports. It all started in 1930, when Sir Malcolm Campbell wore a Rolex Oyster while driving the Bluebird land speed record car at Daytona Beach, USA . In the world of enduro racing, the connection between Rolex and Daytona International Speedway and, of course, the Rolex 24 at Daytona is very clear. After all, it was the very event that gave the name to Rolex's iconic Cosmograph Daytona, a watch that debuted four years after Rolex first partnered with the Daytona International Speedway. born after. In 1992, Rolex became the title sponsor of the 24 Hours of Daytona, now known as the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. replica watches for sale

Since 2001, Rolex has also been the Official Timekeeping Partner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2010, nine-time Le Mans champion Tom Kristensen became a Rolex spokesperson. Rolex also became the official timekeeper of the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2016, furthering the brand's foray into modern long-distance road racing. Over the years, winners of the legendary 24 Hours have received a specially engraved 'Winner's Watch' featuring the Daytona.

Therefore, we have launched a new version of the Cosmograph Daytona, just a few months after the collection was improved, the launch of a new generation of watches. Of course, as you might expect, the original Daytona, which celebrates the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, is technically and most design elements based on the recently updated version of this chronograph. However, there are a few details that make it unique...and truly desirable too. buy replica watches

First, the case. The new Daytona 126529LN is an 18k white gold watch with a redesigned case measuring 40mm in diameter and 12.20mm in height. This original version of the Daytona also featured a new bezel style, a black ceramic inlay surrounded by a thin 18k white gold band. In the current case, the tachymeter scale is PVD in platinum, while the numeral 100 is in red ceramic to remind the race car of its centenary. The other elements of the case are classic for this model, including the screw-down triple lock crown, screw-down pushers and top sapphire crystal... but look at the back and you'll find the same screw-down back as the platinum version, With a sapphire case back displaying the 4132 movement.

The dial of this new Cosmograph Daytona is the main attraction and what distinguishes this racing chronograph from all other versions. Presented here in classic "Panda" style, the plinth is in so-called gloss black with a discreet sun-ray brushed effect, contrasting the counter in gloss white. The hands and applied hour markers are made of white gold and filled with luminous material. high quality fake watches

But what makes this 126529LN truly unique is its sub-counter. For years, I've dreamed of the return of the so-called exotic Paul Newman dial on the Daytona, with little hope of my dream being realized. But now it's clear that Rolex is more creative than before and has made no secret of drawing inspiration from the past (the thin band around the bezel is the first hint...) Now we have a dial with sub-counters in a very Recognizable vintage Paul Newman style or exotic dial with distinctive square markers and rails. Also, another feature of this new version of the Cosmograph Daytona is that its display is slightly different, as the chronograph has a 24-hour counter at 9 o'clock instead of the regular 12-hour counter. It is, of course, a tribute to the legendary race, a title that Rolex has held since 2001 as Official Timekeeping Partner and Main Sponsor.

This slightly modified display also explains the name of the movement, now Caliber 4132, which is an evolution of the more recently introduced Caliber 4131, which itself was an evolution of Caliber 4130 introduced in 2000. To get this new 24-hour display, it now comes with an additional, patented mechanism consisting of seven parts that can be likened to Rolex's redesigned differential. This gear reduction system, known in technical jargon as a planetary reducer, halves the rotational speed of the gear train that turns the 24-hour hand. The shape of the device allows it to be integrated without making the slightest change to the architecture of the movement. In fact, this mechanism just replaces a transmission wheel, and its operation does not affect the performance of the 4132 movement in any way. luxury fake Watches

The movement of course benefits from the latest technologies from Rolex, including its patented Chronergy escapement and its efficient geometry. The escapement is made of nickel-phosphorus, which is resistant to magnetic fields, and is combined with a blue Parachrom hairspring made of a paramagnetic alloy. It has a Rolex winding and the oscillator is mounted on a Paraflex shock absorber. Equipped with a column wheel and vertical clutch, self-winding and with a newly designed rotor on (upgraded) ball bearings, it stores a 72-hour power reserve. The new decoration of Rolex Côtes de Genève and gold oscillating weight can be seen through the case back.

This new version comes with an 18k white gold bracelet with a polished and satin finish, and is closed by an Oysterfold safety clasp with Easylink comfort extension links. best replica watches
