Cosmograph Daytona

A racing chronograph that outgrew the racetrack.

Ref. 126500LN · Released 2023 · Switzerland

Named for the Florida speedway, the Daytona pairs a tachymetric bezel with a column-wheel chronograph designed for measuring average speed over a known distance.

The 2023 126500LN moved to Calibre 4131, widened the sapphire-rimmed sub-dials and, for the first time in steel, offered a sapphire caseback on the platinum sibling.
