It seems that the black rubber round tires are about the merely similarity. How different from the world of replica watches, especially that of the Daytona. The current Daytona clearly has a lot of the heritage of the very first Daytona watches. The Daytona remains as desirable as a sports car.The Daytona name was given to commemorate their sponsorship of races held on the Daytona Beach in Florida.
When replica Rolex announced becoming the official timekeeper for the Formula 1 early December we thought it should be cool to do a Daytona-special here on Fratellowatches. Since we had a hard time time sourcing a race car from the 1960s we went way back in (Rolex) time and found one from the 1930s. This was merely saved by the outstanding play of the Broncos defense.
The first Rolex Daytonas were far from popular at the time, something that changed over the years as you possibly know. From unsalable stock to waiting lists of several years, quite an accomplishment. Although the Daytona hype isn’t the same as it was 5 years ago, it is still one of the most popular watches.
Although Rolex replica produced chronograph timepieces since the 1930s, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona wasn’t introduced until the 1960s. Rumor has it that the interest (or hype) in the Daytona started after Paul Newman was spotted on the cover of an Italian magazine with a Daytona on his wrists. Collectors and enthusiasts bought these old Daytonas and if you bought one in the 1980s, you possibly made several very good money in the meanwhile. Such a simple yet very modern and crisp design overall, it has that classic Rolex replica look and it doesn’t.
These models lack the screwed-down pushers, which were introduced later on in the 6240, 626, 6265 etc. Having the screwed-down pushers, the case immediately got the status of ‘Oyster’. A solid investment, to say the least. In 1988, Rolex started using an automatic chronograph movement based on Zenith’s El Primero chronograph movement for their Daytona 16520. Don’t get me wrong, to each his own, but I don’t see myself wearing one of these. Rolex replica did several tweaks (for example an amplitude of 28.800bph instead of 36000bph) and labeled this movement as caliber 4030. Since 2000, Rolex is using their own developed movement in the Rolex Daytona (1)16520, caliber 4130. You know very well that the people at Rolex at very conservative design-wise so having an arrow shaped seconds hand is pretty impressive.
When you think of replica Rolex and Formula 1, the first watch that comes to mind is the Cosmograph Daytona. With its chronograph feature and tachymeter bezel this watch just breathes racing. For this occasion, we went out there and found this Formula 1 car of 2007 that has actually been used by Alonso.More over, it is the most popular chronograph watch world wide (source: Chronolytics). We guess it is a watch that is on the number 1 spot on a lot of wish lists from watch consumers, either a new one or a vintage one.
