- By Alvin Uy

For the father who almost has everything, we came out with a few interestin­g choices for this year’s Father’s Day gift list. From timepieces to hi- fi wireless systems to a classy travel luggage set, these gift choices are only for the coolest dads in town.

The new 2016 Cosmograph Daytona with Cerachrom Bezel

Paul Newman made this watch looked cool back in the 1970s and the Rolex’s latest version of one of its most collectibl­e models is coming soon to Manila. According to Rolex Manila, the price of the new steel version of the Daytona might be higher

than the current one. But judging from the responses of the local collectors, it didn’t seem to dampen their interest. The new version of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in 904L stainless steel is equipped with a black monobloc Cerachrom bezel, combining high-technology and a sense of heritage, the use black bezel pays tribute to its 1965 model that previously used a black Plexiglas bezel insert. The new and space age ceramic material ensures better durability and a more legible tachymetri­c scale. The new Cosmograph Daytona watch combines superlativ­e technical performanc­e and a rich sense of history that comes with this legendary chronograp­h. Rolex is available in their stand-alone boutiques and select retailers in select malls in Metro Manila and Cebu City.
