Incoming: A Daytona that actually raced at Daytona







Seems the watch was not directly connected to the achieved result, though.

I never knew that Harri did circuit rating

Still remember his rally days

So was he the owner of the Daytona ?

In fact, it was raced at Le Mans in 2001, too. Many thanks to wonderful Sami Astala of Kellokonttori, Finland.

Thanks, guys, much appreesh. It's my first Zenith Daytona and apart from the usual little imperfections - not enough lume to find the watch after you've wrecked the car at midnight at Eau Rouge, initiating a nuclear first strike being easier and faster than taking a round time etc.etc. - I must say I am deeply in love with it. Plus, it's by far the cheapest and most satisfying attraction in motor sports ever. Cheers.

Zenith Daytona "Paul Newman"

Now this is interesting, never knew Paul Newman had a Zenith 16520, too. So how we gonna call it henceforth, Paul II ?
