Rolex · Cosmograph Daytona

Two Daytonas, one speed scale

Time a mile with the stopwatch, then read your average speed from the ring around the dial. Rolex changed that ring in 2016. Both watches use the same chronograph movement, calibre 4130.

Rolex Daytona 116520 (2000-2016)

116520

Engraved steel

Follow the dark numerals around the polished steel rim. Its outer edge catches the same light as the lugs.

Rolex Daytona Panda (Ceramic, 2016-2023)

116500LN

Black ceramic

The pale numerals sit in a black Cerachrom bezel. The black rings around the three counters repeat that border inside the white dial.
