Rolex Daytona Ref.116519LN Daytona永遠是勞力士的「風頭躉」，差不多每次推出新型號都成為話題。今年最新Daytona相信不會例外。新錶的重點細節是當然是隕石面，色調呈灰色，充滿質感及紋理。

最亮眼的設計是三個計時副盤用上全黑色，與灰色的隕石面襯得相當好看，也跟大熱的白面Daytona Ref.116500的黑色計時環設計不同。而新錶亦配上貴金屬錶殼，絕對有自己的風格及定位。

隕石錶面擁有獨一無二的紋理，令每一枚Daytona都同樣變得獨一無二。雖然Daytona不是首次推出隕石面款（Ref. 116509便是一例），但配上黑陶瓷錶圈卻是前所未見的新組合，所以腕錶絕對有新鮮感！

Daytona配Oysterflex橡膠錶帶這個組合近年愈來愈流行，上手絕對有型好看，新錶相信是不少用家的心水之選。

機芯方面，搭載的是新型的4130自動上鏈機芯，每日誤差為-/+2秒，並提供70小時動力儲備。

The new Rolex Daytona is out of this world (literally)

First unveiled to a somewhat muted response back in 1963, Rolex’s Cosmograph Daytona model went on, over the six decades that followed, to become arguably the most important motor racing-adjacent timepiece on the market.

Versions of the Daytona are given out as prizes to first-place winners at the legendary 24 Hours Of Le Mans and 24 Hours Of Daytona races, but it was improbably handsome motor racing fan Paul Newman – an early proponent of bicolour dial Daytona wristwatches – who helped secure the model’s place in horological history. One piece from Newman’s collection, which went up at Phillips' “Legendary Watches Of The 20th Century” auction in 2017, became, at the time, the most expensive wristwatch ever sold. It fetched a cool $17.8 million.

Today, by way of a characteristically slick virtual presentation as part of the digital Watches And Wonders Geneva watch fair 2021, Rolex unveiled three new additions to the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona family, all of which come furnished with dials crafted from meteorite.

The new white-gold Rolex Daytona with meteorite dial

The first – and perhaps our favourite – iteration is housed in 18-carat white gold. Fitted with both a monobloc Cerachrom bezel and extra-comfortable Oysterflex bracelet, the glinting Widmanstätten pattern of the meteorite dial affords it an otherworldly quality. It’s the kind of thing one could imagine Elon Musk wearing on his personal race into space, channelling Newman’s more terrestrial straight, long since completed.

The other two timepieces in the new collection are crafted from 18-carat Everose gold and 18-carat yellow gold respectively. Each watch comes fitted with Rolex’s calibre 4130 movement – a self-winding mechanical chronograph with an impressive 72-hour power reserve – boasting the Superlative Chronometer certification, guaranteeing −2/+2 seconds accuracy per day.

It’s the aforementioned meteorite dials, however, which really set these new timepieces apart from the other motor racing-focused chronographs being released this year. Created from extraterrestrial rock formations that exploded in space millions of years ago, every one of the dials – each of which are unique to each watch – are cut from ultrathin sections of the iron and nickel material, revealing the distinctive crystallised pattern within.

Coming in at £27,350 for the white-gold version and scaling up to £32,900 for the yellow gold and £35,100 for the Everose gold, each piece in the new Daytona Cosmograph collection will be available from around June onwards. So you’d better get yourself into hyperdrive if you want to get your hands on one.

There are plenty of poetic reasons to love meteorite dials – the ability to wear something that’s not of this Earth, the connection meteorites have to the long history of the universe and how we relate to time…I could go on. But purely aesthetically, this dial works perfectly for this watch. In particular, I really love the white gold / Oysterflex model. It has a ton of visual punch and must wear really fantastic on the wrist.

While I also like the monochromatic, low-contrast vibe of the diamond-and-meteor Day-Date, these Daytonas have a punchy look that I think works splendidly. The black sub-dials make a huge difference, as does the black bezel on the white-gold model. It’s hard to tell how dramatic this effect will be in person, but I can’t wait to see all three of these chronographs for myself.
