The Rolex Daytona Black Dial 126500LN is one of the greatest icons of sports watchmaking. The black dial, ceramic bezel and steel case create a configuration that is recognizable almost at first glance.
The history of Cosmograph Daytona began in 1963. The model was designed with professional racing drivers in mind. Therefore, motorsport remains an inseparable part of its DNA.
The black dial is, in my opinion, a great choice for this reference. The steel frames of the counters create a subtle contrast. At the same time, the whole thing remains more subdued than the popular version with a white dial.
The Oyster case has a classic 40 mm diameter. In turn, the black Cerachrom bezel has a tachymetric scale. Its numbers and scale are covered with a thin layer of platinum.
Inside is the in-house Rolex caliber 4131. The movement offers approximately 72 hours of power reserve. Additionally, it has a Chronergy escapement, a blue Parachrom spring and Paraflex shock absorbers.
The chronograph uses a column wheel and a vertical clutch. This makes starting the measurement quick and precise. The 30-minute counter is located at 3 o’clock and the 12-hour counter is at 9 o’clock.
Caliber 4131 is Superlative Chronometer certified. Therefore, its accuracy when placed in the envelope is -2/+2 seconds per day.
The Oyster bracelet perfectly complements the sporty character of the Daytona. In addition, it has a safe Oysterlock and Easylink clasp. The system allows you to quickly increase the length of the bracelet by approximately 5 mm.
Daytona is chosen for its design, history, technology, but also emotions. For me, this is one of those watches that is difficult to confuse with anything else.
Rolex Daytona Black Dial 126500LN can be sporty and elegant at the same time. That’s why the Cosmograph Daytona has held such a special place in the world of watches for decades.
