All Daytonas are Cosmographs - the name that was put on the watch before they started adding Daytona back in the early 60's; therefore, all Cosmographs are not Daytonas...

The "floating" Cosmograph is simply where the name is placed on the dial.. If it stands alone, it is floating.

Floating cosmograph means there is a space between the four lines of text and "cosmograph". Like this:



It was made only one year.

Also, they started calling them "daytonas" in 1965.
