The Rolex Daytona Ref. 116500LN has a 40mm Oyster case made of the brand's specially developed Oystersteel with brushed and polished finishes. The black dial on this example allows for precise reading of 1/8 second, while the two-hour and minute counters indicate the elapsed time. The time and chronograph seconds are displayed centrally while running seconds are displayed on the subdial at six o'clock. A black monobloc cerachrom ceramic bezel with a tachymetric scale surrounds the dial.
The Rolex Daytona Ref. 116500LN is powered by the caliber 4130, a mechanical chronograph movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex.
After more than half a century since its debut, the Cosmograph Daytona remains an iconic sports chronograph.
