Raffauf, IMSA's Senior Director of Race Operations, would know. As of 2025, he has worked on 50 editions of the Rolex 24 link at Daytona, the annual endurance classic that kicks off America's racing calendar. While Rolex began awarding its Oyster Cosmograph Daytona to race winners in 1992—officially linking the watch to the race—the Swiss brand supported racing in Daytona Beach from the Fifties onward. Or link was it the Sixties, link Raffauf wondered? It's been so long that not even he remembers.

I link am excited to get this one on my wrist link and give it a test drive to see how the rubber strap works against the matte ceramic case. I'll be sure to report back on wearability legibility and my overall thoughts in a hands-on soon. Signing off link from Miami.
