Rolex Daytona Meteorite DialWhen Roger announced his retirement on his official Instagram page, sitting in his trophy room with sleeves perfectly rolled up, he was wearing one of the latest versions of the Rolex Daytona – an 18k white gold model with a dial made of an actual piece of meteorite. This material is not only rare, but also aesthetically distinct. The slow cooling process that molten asteroid cores go through as they travel through space results in bizarre metallic patterns resembling the Moon’s surface. This means no two meteorite dials are identical. This textured space rock finish on the face offers a striking contrast against the monochromatic exterior, while the black sub-dials tie the cool and futuristic look together. The red “Daytona” text adds a subtle pop of color. Video from Roger Federer on Instagram |
