Rolex Watches New Collection : A Cosmograph Daytona from 1963. Designed for racing drivers, its strongly contrasting chronograph counters stood out clearly on the dial. The tachymetric scale – a graduation allowing the measurement of average speeds over a given distance using the chronograph seconds hand – was located on the circumference of the bezel instead of the dial. These features made the chronograph functions much more legible. They also gave the watch a technical and sporty look, making it instantly recognizable.
