Nicknamed the “Panda” for its crisp white dial with black-ringed counters, the “Panda” is one of the most coveted modern Daytonas. Its black ceramic bezel, filled with platinum-coated numerals, brings durability while echoing the look of vintage models. Discontinued in 2023, it’s now a top choice for collectors who want a chronograph that captures racing tradition with a modern look.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. The glossy white dial is accented by black subdial rings, giving the watch its iconic “Panda” look. Surrounding it, the black ceramic tachymeter bezel highlights its racing roots while resisting scratches and fading. Completing the look, the stainless steel bracelet wears smoothly on the wrist with alternating brushed and high-polished surfaces.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and chronograph. The engraved tachymeter bezel lets you measure average speed over a set distance, linking the Daytona directly to its racing roots. The upper pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the lower pusher resets it to zero. Luminous white-gold hour markers and hands keep the dial readable even when the lights go down.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed, including the watch pillow, warranty card, warranty booklet, Daytona manual, and the Rolex green hang tag.
With its high-contrast “Panda” dial, scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, and discontinued status, the “Panda” has secured its place as a modern legend. It’s a chronograph that carries decades of racing history while offering the toughness and precision expected today, making it a standout for anyone looking to own one of the most celebrated references in the Daytona line.
