Striking “Pikachu” Racing Dial: The dial is flawlessly executed, capturing the exact warm, dynamic hue of the authentic champagne variant that earned it the “Pikachu” moniker. The new generation features slightly slimmer applied 18K yellow gold plated hour markers and narrower rings on the three black snailed sub-dials. The striking red “Daytona” text adds a sporty touch, while premium Chromalight ensures a powerful, long-lasting blue glow in low light.

New Cerachrom Bezel with Metal Edge: The fixed black Cerachrom bezel features the defining architectural update of the 1265xx series: a thin yellow gold-plated metal ring edging the high-tech ceramic. VSF has executed this with absolute precision, utilizing an advanced PVD process to fill the deep tachymetric CNC engravings with an accurate yellow gold tone to calculate speeds of up to 400 units per hour.
