DescriptionThe Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 126508 is a high-performance chronograph wristwatch crafted from 18 karat yellow gold. A monobloc middle case is a single piece of metal that is machined to create the form of the watch body. The screw-down case back and winding crown contribute to the watch’s impressive water resistance of 100 meters or 330 feet. The 18 karat yellow gold bezel features a tachymetric scale, which is a tool used to measure speed. The watch’s scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the black dial with its snailed counters. These snailed counters are a type of watch dial with a decorative spiral pattern. The hour markers and hands are crafted from 18 karat gold and feature a Chromalight display, a luminescent material that Rolex uses for long-lasting illumination.

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 126508 utilizes the Rolex caliber 4131, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement. A self-winding movement, or automatic movement, is a mechanical watch movement that winds itself using the kinetic energy of the wearer's arm movements. A chronograph is a specific type of complication that adds stopwatch functionality to a watch. The caliber 4131 movement is a high-precision movement that boasts a +/- 2 seconds per day accuracy rating after casing. The movement features a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, which is resistant to magnetic fields. Additionally, the movement is equipped with high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers to protect the movement from shocks and vibrations. The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 126508 offers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, meaning that the watch will continue to run for up to 72 hours after it has been removed from your wrist and has stopped winding itself.
