Rolex, one of the most distinguished watchmakers in history, released its update to the iconic Daytona line, the new Rolex Daytona 2013. Though many insiders were disappointed the revered brand didn’t completely overhaul the design with a fresh, technologically advanced version, the stylish new color schemes are leaving many breathless with anticipation. Here are some of the exciting new changes, even if they are fewer than expected.
A Classic Look For an Elite Audience
Outfitted in platinum, the new Rolex Daytona 2013 is certainly a luxurious piece of machinery, one that only a select few clients can acquire. The ice blue dial is subtly tasteful, and embodies the cool style of Rolex, fifty years into this model’s legendary reign. A complementary chocolate brown hue frames the face, setting off both the pearlescent dial and the chrome-like sheen of the platinum band. Flattering on both men and women, this latest version will set collectors back roughly $70,000, so you better start saving.
The Comfort of Familiarity
Of course, just because Rolex didn’t design a whole new Daytona doesn’t mean it’s somehow inferior in anyway. This beautiful timepiece boasts the same illustrious Rolex 4130 Calibre movement that you know and love. It’s simple, classic and infallible. There’s a reason Paul Newman sported this model as both an actor and a racecar driver. Plus, the oysterlock band and Easylink comfort extension are still available, standards that Rolex invented.
Even if you find yourself a bit disappointed that Rolex did not overhaul the Daytona’s design, rest assured this brand new beauty delivers in every other sphere of influence. It’s Rolex craftsmanship and modern style in an elite platinum package.
