Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Vol. 2 : Modèles À Remontage Automatique, Dès 1988
Auteur(s) : Grégoire Rossier, Tiffany To, Anthony Marquié
In 1963, Rolex launched a new chronograph that would become a legend: the Cosmograph Daytona. It was used by racing drivers, but also by other sportsmen and celebrities, including the American actor Paul Newman.
After 25 years, in 1988, Rolex decided to modernise its flagship model by equipping it with an automatic winding calibre, which definitively replaced the old manual winding movements.
Since then, the Cosmograph Daytona has continued to evolve, incorporating a host of technical innovations, from the ever more efficient movement to other components such as the ceramic bracelet and bezel. But the brand has always been able to retain the distinctive DNA that makes the Daytona instantly recognisable.
Following a first volume dedicated to manual winding models (1963-1988), this second volume is devoted entirely to automatic models, from 1988 to the present day. The two books provide a comprehensive guide to the entire production history of the most famous chronograph of all time.
