Chestnut brown Cerachrom ceramic bezel with engraved tachymetre scale measuring average speeds to 400 units per hour. Sapphire crystal. One hundred metres water resistance.
Ice blue dial with applied hour markers and luminous coating. Three black subdials—running seconds at nine o'clock, thirty-minute counter at three o'clock, twelve-hour counter at six o'clock.

COSC chronometer certified.
Platinum Oyster bracelet with polished centre links and brushed outer links. Oysterlock folding safety clasp with Easylink 5mm extension system. Fair condition from 2021 means four years of wear with visible damage—expect noticeable scratching on polished surfaces, possible dents or dings on case edges, significant dulling on brushed components, micro-scratches on ceramic bezel, bracelet stretch possible, functionality intact. Full set includes Rolex presentation box, warranty papers dated 2021, booklets. Manufacturer's warranty expired—covered by Pride & Pinion one-year warranty.
The platinum construction and ice blue dial combination distinguishes this from standard steel Daytonas whilst maintaining chronograph functionality developed for motorsport timing.
