Cosmograph Daytona is one of the most iconic chronograph watches typified by elegant construction, distinct dial design, and powerful mechanism; however, the version for Baselworld 2017 was perhaps Rolex's best iteration of the watch yet.

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116518 made quite a splash upon its release as the brand upped the ante with a more utilitarian version, bringing a tempting alternative to the leather strap and steel bracelet models. It was the combination of gold, Cerachrom, and Oysterflex that elevated Daytona into another echelon. Oysterflex is an engineered material featuring flexible metal blades accoutred with high-performance and resilient elastomer. On the inside, the bracelet is fashioned with cushions to ensure smooth, comfortable wear. Such a combination- a gold case and an ergonomic Oysterflex bracelet - repositioned Daytona as a classic sport watch that delivers functionality and form.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
