Like all great modern watches, the Rolex Daytona is rich in history. Unlike most watches, however, its history is linked to one person in particular, Paul Newman. The famous Hollywood actor and driver famously wore a specific variant of the original Daytona series, an exotic dial ref. 6239.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n
The second Daytona series had the movement supplied by Zenith, furthermore, after the brand was sold to another company, the movement underwent a modification by an engineer named Charles Vermot and became known as the Zenith El Primero.
\nWhile the first series Daytona is considered collectible, it is worth noting that the second series Daytona had a significant impact on the collector market. Released in 1988 and produced until 2000, the second series Daytona is what gave us the foundation for the contemporary Daytona aesthetic. With an updated 40mm case, compared to the previous 37mm, the second series Daytona is nearly indistinguishable from the modern third series. Powered by perhaps one of the greatest chronograph movements ever, the Rolex cal. 4030 \u2013 a highly modified El Primero movement, it is made iconic and highly collectible.<\/p>\n
