Description: Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Vol. 1 (1963 - 1988), French book Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Vol. 1 (1963 - 1988), French book This hardcover book with 286 color pages presents the COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA watch from ROLEX. COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA… a legendary name among watch enthusiasts, a name that evokes the speed and roar of motor racing, but is also synonymous with prestige and admiration. The origin of this myth is linked to a city in Florida, Daytona Beach, famous for its motorcycle and car races on its eponymous beach. In 1959, the Daytona 500 race began at the Daytona International Speedway and three years later, Rolex became the official timekeeper, marking the beginning of the history of the famous Cosmograph Daytona. The chronograph complication and the history of Rolex have always been inextricably linked. Rolex's first foray into time measurement began in the 1930s with the Manufacture's very first Oyster chronograph model. In 1963, Rolex launched the Cosmograph Daytona, a sports chronograph that has continued to evolve in keeping with the spirit of the brand, striving to improve existing technology and push the boundaries of technical feasibility. The history and great diversity of this chronograph are such that two (independent) volumes are dedicated to it. This first volume, devoted to hand-wound models produced between 1963 and 1988, is a celebration of its illustrious history, forged by many characters, the most famous of these undoubtedly being the actor, philanthropist and racing driver Paul Newman.
