I get it that certain nicknames just happen organically over time (as they do with nicknames for friends for example), but i must admit i do find it a bit childish when there's a sudden rush to force a nickname on every new piece that comes out. Trying to force something feels like a nerdy guy waking up one morning and just deciding that everyone is going to call him "big dog" from that point onwards. It's just a bit sad really.

But each to their own.

Rolex designed a watch called the Cosmograph. It became associated with the track and speed and timing and all those things chrono.

The association became so great that a nickname was born. "Daytona". It was so strong that Rolex decided to stamp the Cosmograph with its name as well as its nickname.

The nickname is "Daytona".
