About this watch
The dial is the reason this configuration exists: a meteorite surface whose pattern is the crystal structure of the material, crossed by three counters with dark rings and a set of applied markers with dark surrounds.
Around it sit the parts that make a Daytona recognisable — a fixed black bezel carrying a tachymeter scale, a crown between two pushers, and a strap that is rubber on the outside and metal underneath. The photographs in the gallery move from the dial straight on, to the case flank with its pushers, to the clasp folded under the strap, so each structural part can be seen in the order it would be checked.
A meteorite dial is cut from meteoritic material, so the pattern comes from the metal’s internal crystal structure rather than from a print or a brushing pattern. That is why no two of them look alike: the surface is a texture, not a colour.
In these frames the surface reads silver-grey with darker, irregular areas, and the three counters stand out because their rings are dark against it. Because the texture is fine and low-contrast, it photographs best in even light; a hard reflection can flatten it out, which is worth knowing when you compare photographs of two different watches.
The dial carries three counters, arranged at three, six and nine o’clock, plus a long central chronograph hand. One counter accumulates elapsed minutes, one accumulates elapsed hours, and the lower one runs continuously as the seconds display — the marker layout and the printed scales tell you which is which, while the fitted movement determines how they behave.
The black bezel is marked “Units per hour” and carries a tachymeter scale, an uneven rate table. It converts the time taken for one known unit of distance into an average speed: sixty seconds for one unit corresponds to sixty units per hour, thirty seconds to 120, and so on. Reading the table is independent of whether the timing mechanism itself is accurate.
This reference is supplied on a strap built from two curved metal blades, one in each section, moulded over with black elastomer. The result looks like a rubber strap but bends and holds its shape like a bracelet, and it is fitted with cushions on the inside to keep it from rolling on the wrist.
In the photographs the outside is matte black while the clasp and its blade are polished metal, which is the quickest way to identify the construction. Strap sizing is a genuine question here: the length is adjusted through the clasp, so ask which sections are fitted and how much adjustment is left.
The case and clasp in these frames read as a cool silver-tone rather than a warm yellow or pink. White gold is a gold alloy, so it photographs slightly warmer than steel does in daylight — a difference that shows up most clearly where a polished surface meets the black bezel and the dark strap.
The photographs show the finish of the surfaces, not a material certificate. If the metal composition of the offered watch matters to you, ask what the case is made from and what, if anything, is plated over it, and ask for that answer in writing.
A 40 mm case diameter describes the round case body. On this watch the crown and the two chronograph pushers extend the silhouette on the right, so the case looks wider than its nominal measurement from some angles — most obviously in the three-quarter frame, where all three controls sit in a vertical line.
For wrist fit, add case thickness and lug-to-lug length to the diameter, then consider that the strap leaves the case differently from a link bracelet. Those measurements should be requested for the individual watch rather than assumed from the reference number.
Four things decide most of these conversations. First, whether the meteorite pattern visible in the photographs is the one on the watch you would receive. Second, how the counters start, stop and reset. Third, the strap length as fitted and what adjustment remains. Fourth, the case and crystal condition, which a straight-on frame hides.
Ask for a short video of the chronograph running and of the reset, plus a flat-on dial photograph in daylight. That combination answers more than any number of angled shots, and it keeps the discussion anchored to the actual watch rather than to the reference name.
