Rolex’s Daytona chronograph is one of the brand’s best-loved pieces and this year marks its 50th Anniversary. To celebrate, they’ve incorporated a few smart updates. The current Cosmograph Daytona is a contemporary take on the classic look with a 40mm platinum case, ice-blue dial and chestnut-brown ceramic bezel. But besides its slick look, this piece’s coolest feature is its built-in tachymetric scale, making it capable of measuring speeds up to 400 mph; Rolex.com.
