More information
The Rolex Daytona is an iconic chronograph and Rolex has made many different variations of this legendary model. This Daytona features a beautiful meteorite dial
made of material from the Gibeon meteorite, found in Namibia in the 19th century.
Each dial is made from a solid piece of meteorite, then finished with an acid-wash on the dial face. The dial face also features three subsidiary dials, utilized for tracking speed and time, particularly when racing.
The Gibeon meteorite is now protected by Namibian law, meaning no one can further harvest it.
A Rolex meteorite dial is certainly one of the rarest features you may find, the dial is literally "out of this world".
