Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Replica 1973 is a replica of a model from the past, just like the other Heritage watches. The newest member of the Heritage collection is a revival of a lesser-known Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Replica timepiece from 1970. The model's cushion-shaped housing is one of its most distinctive features. Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Replica 1973, like its archetype, features a column wheel chronograph movement. The watch is expected to be available within two months, with a black or a silver dial. Saint-Imier set the price of its new retro watch at $3,250.

The inspiration behind the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Replica 1973 novelty was the chronograph from the Conquest Series that first appeared in 1973. The cushion-shaped chronograph was not a best seller at the time. The new heritage 1973, while not identical to its archetype version, is very similar. The stainless steel case has the same shape. The new watch has a diameter of 40mm, which is slightly bigger than the stainless steel case.

On their dials you can see some differences between the vintage and novel timekeepers. They may look similar at first, but there are some subtle differences. The 1973 Conquest, for example, had the same dial colour,Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Replica but only two chrono counters instead of three. Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Replica chose to color the 12-hour chronograph in the dial the same as the rest to create a more uniform dial. The other two subdials have a contrast color as they did on the original Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Replica of the 1970s. Other features are similar but not identical, like the look of the flange. Both watches feature a tachymetric blue scale at the outer edge. As you move inwards, the first markers are split-second markers, and then further down there are indices that mark minutes and hour. On the new watch, the hour markers in silver are made with a thin line to make it easier to read the chronoseconds and a Superluminova dot. They are the same color as the polished silver hands, which also have luminous coatings. The novel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Replica watch has a date aperture between the four and five-o'clock position.

Automatic Column-Wheel Chronograph The biggest difference between the two watches is their movements. The original 1970s model used a legendary in-house caliber 30 CH. The newer one uses a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Replica calibre L688. The main difference is in the way the movements are wound. The new caliber, which ETA created exclusively for Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Replica, is automatic-winding instead of the older one that was hand-wound.Rolex GMT-Master II Replica Heritage 1973 aims to mimic the main characteristics of the Conquest chronograph. ETA designers designed the new movement using a column wheel chronograph complication as was the case with the iconic 30 CH caliber. The blue column wheel can be seen through the sapphire window on the case's back. The watch's frequency is 28,800 vph and its power reserve of 54 hours.
