It's discontinued model. It's call a Paul Newman dial because Paul Newman was spotted wearing Daytonas with similar dial combination i.e. the colour of the main dial is starkly different from the sub-dials. He appeared in several magazines wearing his personal Daytonas with similar dials. BTW, Paul Newman was not the official spokesman for the watch.

hmmm. so are the dials original? did rolex come up with them? or are they just customized? hmmm.
