The dot (●) under the tachymeter number on the bezel has been changed to a triangle (▲), giving it a more modern impression than the previous model. Equipped with Rolex's fully in-house chronograph movement "Cal.4130" developed for the Daytona, and by changing from a horizontal clutch to a vertical clutch, a highly accurate chronograph has been achieved.

Keisuke Honda is a man who always delivers results on the big stage.
Honda is the first Japanese player to record goals and assists in three consecutive World Cups (2010, 2014, 2018), and he always delivers results when it matters most. His signature no-spin free kick in the 2010 World Cup match against Denmark is one of the goals that will be remembered for generations to come.

The fiery goal hunter, Masashi Nakayama .
Nakayama is known for his down-to-earth playing style, where he runs around the pitch until the final whistle sounds and always chases the ball with all his might. He is also popular off the pitch due to his cheerful and fun personality. He is a passionate striker who has set many amazing records, including being the J-League top scorer twice, the first Japanese player to score in the World Cup, and scoring hat tricks in four consecutive games.

Makino Tomoaki is a mood maker full of fighting spirit.
Makino, who has a well-trained physique unlike that of a typical Japanese player, has a strong presence as a mood maker, inspiring the team with his fighting spirit in defense. Like Tulio, who we introduced earlier, he actively participates in attacks, and his bold playing style, which is hard to believe for a center back, entertains the spectators.
