Rosie Huntington-Whiteley – Rolex Daytona

English model, actor, and former Victoria’s Secret angel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wears a 40mm Rolex Daytona in 18k yellow gold with a golden and black dial. The bezel has a, for Daytona models, classic engraved tachymetric scale, and the watch comes on an oyster bracelet.

About the Watch

The first thing that will strike you in the Rolex Daytona timepiece is the customized bezel with various attractive perks. It’s scratch-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and unaffected by UV rays’ color fading impacts. The black bezel also provides the appearance that the dial is more prominent.

The typeface that encloses the tachymeter scale is stronger and more readable, with a platinum PVD finish. Rather than the dots, it has triangles located underneath the tachymeter’s numbers. The tachymeter’s numbers spin around the bezel instead of being displayed horizontally as they were in the earlier generation. Generally, the revamp of the bezel took a lot of consideration, and Rolex Daytona lovers worldwide have praised it.

The oyster casing is made of corrosion-resistant superalloy, 904L steel, which is reputed to keep its shine better than ordinary stainless steel. The 904L steel isn’t the strongest steel alloy world has ever known. However, it does have a higher luster, unlike other steel alloys, and is thus ideal for Rolex watches.

The oyster casing is closely linked with the label Rolex because it was the planet’s first waterproof casing. Since its inception in 1926, the unique “oyster” casing has been among the Rolex’s most recognizable hallmarks. It’s a mechanism that uses a screw-down casing back, a screw-down bezel, and a screw-down crown to fasten and seal the monobloc central case. The Daytona’s casing is protected from the water like a submarine hatch with a reduced water level of 100m/300ft using this “Triplock” fastening device.

A similar “oyster” casing can be found on almost every quasi Rolex sports model. But then, the Daytona adds the feature of screw-down sleeves to cover the stopwatch pushers.

When it comes to the dial, the refined steel hour indicators have a bright fill that matches the proportions. The easy-to-read Chromalight display is made of a long-lasting luminous substance with a vivid blue tint that glows when in the dark. The name DAYTONA is written in red and wrapped around the uppermost part of the small revolving seconds at the 6 o’clock mark, much like on any Rolex Daytona Chrono.

Three-piece oyster steel strands make up Rolex’s Oyster bracelet. The exterior two links feature a polished surface, whereas the middle link is beautifully brushed. The refined lugs on the casing connect the links at each end of the bracelet. When you gaze at it, the finishing varies from polished to brushed, then back to polished finishing for the central link.

Rolex’s proprietary Easylink 5mm extended link is connected to the oysterlock dual lock folding clasp, allowing for a rapid 5mm micro-adjustment to the bracelet’s size. This useful feature may be adjusted without using any extra equipment. Furthermore, the function enables your timepiece to adjust in size to account for the normal contraction and expansion of the wrist caused by changes in humidity and temperature.

Overall, Rolex Daytona is the most well-known timepiece brand in the world. Because of this, you’ll always get plenty of praise and attention if you wear it on your wrist.
