The standout sunburst blue dial is complemented by contrasting blue chronograph registers with subtle red accents, creating one of the most distinctive and sought-after dial configurations in the Daytona collection. The engraved tachymeter bezel, also crafted from white gold, reinforces the model’s racing pedigree while maintaining an elegant all-metal aesthetic.
