Seen briefly in Dhurandhar Revenge on Ranveer Singh, the Rolex watch has been creating a buzz ever since.
The Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in Oystersteel and yellow gold features a black dial with contrasting counter rings and is paired with an Oyster bracelet. The yellow gold bezel, engraved with a tachymetric scale, adds function without making the watch feel busy. There is no attempt to overcomplicate the design. Instead, it focuses on the balance between detail and ease.
At its core, this is a chronograph made for precision. The tachymetric scale allows the wearer to measure average speed over a fixed distance. It was designed with racing drivers in mind, which explains the clear layout and easy-to-use pushers. The dial supports this purpose. It includes three counters that are simple to read, along with 18 ct gold hour markers. The hands carry a Chromalight display, so the time remains visible even in low light.
The combination of Oystersteel and yellow gold is known as Rolesor. Present here, the steel adds durability, while gold brings warmth. Together, they create a look that feels steady and a little bit showy. This pairing has been part of the maison’s collection for decades, and it continues to define the watch’s identity.
The Oyster bracelet follows the same idea. Built with three-piece solid links, it feels strong without losing comfort. The folding Oysterlock clasp keeps it secure, while the Easylink extension allows for small adjustments when needed. It is a design that has stayed largely unchanged over time, because it works.
Inside the 40 mm case is a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement, calibre 4131. It offers precision of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing, along with a power reserve of around 72 hours. The watch is also built to handle everyday conditions. It is waterproof to 100 metres, with a screw-down crown that uses a Triplock system for added protection. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal covers the dial, keeping it clear over time. The price for this model sits around Rs 22 lakhs.
It is a watch that values purpose, with a design that follows naturally.
