Description
Secure a true motoring icon with the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona (Ref. m126500ln-0002). Born for the race track in 1963 and universally recognised as the ultimate chronograph, this spectacular modern iteration pairs high-performance engineering with absolute aesthetic refinement. Striking a perfect balance between motorsport heritage and luxury, this highly coveted reference is the ultimate statement piece for any serious watch enthusiast.
The Iconic Black Dial & Cerachrom Bezel
This model features a striking black dial equipped with contrasting silver-toned chronograph counters. Adorned with 18-carat white gold applique hour markers and hands, it utilises Rolex’s Chromalight display—a highly legible luminescent material emitting a long-lasting blue glow, guaranteeing perfect readability in all conditions.
A defining feature of the Daytona’s identity is its legendary tachymetric scale. The Ref. 126500LN features a state-of-the-art black monobloc Cerachrom bezel crafted from high-tech ceramic. Not only is it virtually scratch-proof and highly resistant to corrosion and UV fading, but its tachymetric scale is also extraordinarily legible thanks to a thin layer of platinum deposited via a PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) process.
Robust Oystersteel Case & Bracelet
The perfectly proportioned 40 mm case is machined from a solid block of Oystersteel. Belonging to the 904L steel family, this superlative alloy is widely used in the aerospace and chemical industries for its maximum resistance to corrosion and its ability to maintain a magnificent polish even in the most extreme environments. Fitted with a screw-down case back and a Triplock triple waterproofness crown, the case guarantees water resistance to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet).
The watch is presented on the famously robust Oyster bracelet, featuring broad, flat three-piece solid links in matching Oystersteel. It secures to the wrist via a folding Oysterlock safety clasp, which prevents accidental opening, and incorporates the ingenious Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link for an adaptable fit.
The Next-Generation Calibre 4131
At the core of this high-performance timepiece is the Calibre 4131, an entirely new generation of self-winding mechanical chronograph movement developed and manufactured completely in-house by Rolex.
The movement incorporates Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement, a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, and high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers. Together, they ensure outstanding resistance to magnetic fields and physical shocks while delivering a substantial power reserve of approximately 72 hours. Like all Rolex timepieces, the Daytona carries the Superlative Chronometer certification, guaranteeing exceptional precision of -2/+2 seconds per day.
