The QF Daytona 126518LN "Paul Newman" is a bold and luxurious interpretation of one of the most recognizable modern chronographs available. Combining the warmth of a yellow gold-finished case with the sporty Oysterflex bracelet and the striking black "Paul Newman" dial, this configuration delivers an unmistakable presence while preserving the timeless proportions of the Daytona.
Crafted with a 40mm yellow gold-finished case, the watch offers exceptional wrist presence while maintaining the iconic design language that has defined the Daytona for generations. The polished case is beautifully complemented by a black Cerachrom tachymeter bezel, creating a sophisticated contrast that enhances both durability and visual appeal.
The centerpiece of this configuration is its distinctive black "Paul Newman" dial. Contrasting chronograph subdials, bold minute track accents, and refined detailing give the watch a motorsport-inspired character while maintaining excellent legibility. Gold hour markers and matching hands filled with luminous material complete the luxurious appearance, making this one of the most eye-catching Daytona dial configurations available.
Powering the watch is the DD4131 Super Clone Automatic Chronograph Movement. Designed to closely replicate the architecture and functionality of the genuine Calibre 4131, the movement features automatic winding, an integrated column-wheel chronograph, vertical clutch construction, hacking seconds, and exceptionally smooth chronograph operation. The DD4131 is widely regarded as one of the finest clone chronograph movements available, offering outstanding reliability, accuracy, and authentic movement architecture.
Completing the watch is a black Oysterflex bracelet fitted with size E+F straps, providing a comfortable fit for a wide range of wrist sizes. Reinforced by flexible internal metal blades, the Oysterflex combines the durability of a metal bracelet with the comfort and flexibility of high-performance elastomer, perfectly complementing the sporty yet luxurious character of the watch.
