Let us shift our gears in the reverse direction and swiftly move to the past about how the Rolex Daytona model has come to exist. Little did Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex, think that Rolex will ever be linked to auto racing. Sir Malcolm Campbell made was one of the most well-recognized auto racers that existed and having achieved numerous feats in the auto-racing realm in Florida's Daytona beach – he caught the attention of Wilsdorf. It was then that the latter wanted Sir Campbell as Rolex's ambassador because of the parallels Wilsdorf drew between Sir Campbell's and Rolex's personality. But the legend of Daytona is not only linked to one person alone rather it is associated with many other auto racers who were fond of Daytona or moved to the city.
Even after being so closely crafted with Daytona, Rolex launched a watch named Chronograph in 1955 which is claimed to be the forefather of our present day Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. The claim is well-supported by the looks that the watch is capable of rendering. Despite not being popular, the Chronograph has aged well and become the widely acclaimed Cosmograph Daytona.
