The Fastest And The Best - Lewis Hamilton And The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona Watch
The roaring sound of car engines, the blurring of roads, tightened jaws, resolute heartbeat, and the world’s best drivers concentrating on the finest of their cars. The flag-off and the car racing begins. Car racing - a sport for the aggressive, who love speed and are passionate to be ahead of anything and everything. Car racing, as a sport, enjoys a massive popularity and attention. To pay a tribute to individuals with a love for the sport, Rolex created the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona watch. It was chosen by the professional race car-drivers since the time it was introduced and earned itself an iconic status over the time.
Designed as the ultimate timing tool for drivers in endurance races, the watch is one of a kind time piece that stands out as a unique symbol of commitment and achievement. It allows a driver to map his course times accurately and determine how he must drive in order to achieve victory.
The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is a 40 mm Rolex watch with an officially certified Swiss chronometer (COSC). It has a graduated tachymeter with self winding movement and an Oyster bracelet. The watch is waterproof to 100 m/ 330 feet and is one of the best watches offered by Rolex in terms of technical brilliance and its classy looks.
At Rolex, form and function always work together. Rolex engineers have applied the most advanced technologies to craft the perfect timepiece. Designed for those with great passion, endurance and the spirit to achieve the impossible, the watch with its patented chronograph mechanism and bezel with tachymetric scale, allows drivers to perfectly measure elapsed circuit time and calculate average speed.
Lewis Hamilton, the British Formula One racing driver, has a personality that bears great resemblance to the watch. He currently races for the McLaren team. Having won the Formula One world championship in 2008, he is admired by men all over the world for his great determination and hard work. Hamilton is known for his aggressive and interesting driving style. He commonly uses oversteer to control the car’s change of direction. Confidence in superior car control allows him to excel in wet conditions, as demonstrated in his performance many a times.
Not only is he a world champion, but a winner in every aspect. Hamilton is often labeled as “the first black driver in Formula One”. He holds many records to himself which include, the Youngest Driver to lead the World championship, most wins in a debut season, and most consecutive podium finishes from debut. He was awarded an MBE by the queen in the 2009 New Year Honors. There is also a wax statue of his at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, which was unveiled in 2009.
