Its balanced proportions and all-steel construction give it a timeless appeal, equally suited to everyday wear or a considered watch collection.

‍

The black dial, with contrasting silver-tone chronograph rings and red Daytona lettering, provides depth and character while maintaining a clean, sporting appearance. Framed by the engraved steel bezel, it captures the motorsport heritage that has defined the Daytona for decades.
