OVERVIEW

If you’re fortunate enough to have multiple watches and own this watch as well, you’re going to find that you won’t wear the others nearly as much as this one. It won’t just be a honeymoon phase either… years will go by and you will have worn this black Daytona a substantial amount of times. You’ll get dressed, open your safe, look at your collection and just say to yourself “Yeah, OK” and put it on for the day. It’s dressy when you want it to be dressy, and sporty when you want it to be sporty. It has a minimal design, but the stark white subdials over the matte black dials give it the right amount of flair. It looks just as fantastic on its oyster bracelet as it does on a tan strap. It looks great on a jubilee bracelet too (I can sell you one of those).

There’s a reason why it’s the ultimate grail watch for so many people. It literally looks with everything.
