Introducing: A Special Rolex Daytona For The 100th Running Of The ...

As a further expression of the recently-refreshed Daytona, I think Rolex has managed to make something special. With what is largely a few subtle tweaks to the existing black dial Daytona, this Le Mans-inspired edition covers all the bases with a technical evolution (how cool is it to notice the "24" in the counter at nine), the material interest of the white gold and the special bezel, and finally a direct but deft reference to the brand's past with the dial coloring and the connection to the so-called "exotic" dials of the 60s. 

Let's not forget that Paul Newman wasn't just a fan of the Daytona; he was also an avid endurance racer and raced in the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans (where he was racing with the Dick Barbour team, and they took home 1st in class and 2nd overall).
