The Best Straps for the Rolex Daytona

Few watches carry the weight of the Rolex Daytona. Born for the racetrack and immortalised on Paul Newman's wrist, its three-register chronograph dial is one of the busiest — and most beautiful — in watchmaking.

That busy dial is exactly why strap choice matters here. A clean, solid-colour strap lets the subdials breathe, while a loud pattern competes with them. Get it right and the Daytona swings from a racing-inspired rubber on the weekend to sharp Saffiano leather at the office.

What lug width does the Rolex Daytona use?

The Daytona uses a 20mm lug width, and every Artisan Watch Co. strap for it is cut with curved ends to sit flush against the 40mm Oystersteel case. Unsure of your reference? Try Strap Match or Find Your Fit.
