Introduction
The Rolex Daytona is more than a chronograph. Since its debut in 1963, it has represented speed, precision and motorsport heritage. Designed for professional racers, it quickly became a cultural icon, especially after being worn by Paul Newman. Its bold layout, functional beauty and unmistakable silhouette made it one of the most admired watches in the world.
At Tempus, we took inspiration from this legendary model to create something new. The Tempus Daytona Mod captures the spirit of the original, while giving you full creative control. Handmade in Portugal using TMI (Seiko) automatic chronograph movements and premium components, our version offers all the charm of the Daytona, built entirely to your vision.
A Tribute You Can Make Your Own
Our Daytona-inspired build is not a replica. It is a modern interpretation of a racing classic, made to be configured by you. Whether you are drawn to the tachymeter bezel, the tri-compax sub-dial layout or the aggressive case shape, the design is yours to shape.
With the Tempus Creator, you can select every detail in real time. Choose the dial color, bezel style, case finish, hands and strap. See your design as it takes shape, and know exactly what will be delivered to your wrist.
