Expanding upon a North American sports car endurance racing legacy that stretches back to the earliest days of the sport, Rolex has been named as the new Official Timepiece of IMSA as part of a long-term partnership beginning in 2025.
Already the title sponsor of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Rolex also recognizes the winners of each class by presenting them with Rolex Daytona watches.

“Rolex is synonymous with innovation, performance and precision – attributes that make it a perfect choice to become the ‘Official Timepiece of IMSA’,” said IMSA President John Doonan.
“Our brands have been linked for decades, primarily through Rolex’s longstanding support of our flagship Rolex 24 At Daytona as title sponsor, and we are honored that Rolex is expanding its partnership across the entire IMSA season. The Rolex Daytona presented annually to Rolex 24-winning drivers is one of the most highly sought-after prizes in all of motorsport, and we have no doubt that from 2025, competition for the timepieces awarded to our WeatherTech Championship class champions also will be fierce.”
Arnaud Boetsch, Director of Communication & Image at Rolex, added: “Rolex is delighted to partner with IMSA, further illustrating our historic connection with motorsport, founded in Daytona almost a century ago. This partnership is a natural extension of the brand’s longstanding relationship with the Rolex 24 At Daytona, an ultimate race against time. Alongside IMSA, Rolex supports the development, growth and sustainability initiatives of the sport, teams and machines.”
