For one of the most famous models in the history of horology, the Rolex Daytona remains stubbornly misunderstood. It arrived late in the annals of the tool watch. For years – generations, even – it was a minor player, which makes its current status all the more impressive. We'll go reference by reference and year by year with the chronograph that has auto racing coursing through its springs. But to understand the Daytona, one must first understand Rolex: the maker of myths.
We did a Reference Points before where we covered the Rolex "Paul Newman" Daytona, but this time we'll be going through the non-Newman varieties.
