Can’t say that I’m a fan of this new Rolex
Daytona Ref. 116516LN, but it has a few interesting aspects that Rolex
die-hards may desire more than I seem to. Launched in 1963, the
Rolex Daytona is broadly linked to speed and automobile sport. The new
Ref 116516 shows off a monobloc black CERACHROM bezel and is powered by
Rolex’s Caliber 4130. Cerachrom is a Rolex innovation — an advanced
ceramic virtually impervious to scratches, corrosion-resistant and
non-fading. Rolex indicates that the black bezel on the 116516 is
reminiscent of that of the 1965 Daytona model. The COSC calibre 4130,
introduced in 2000, is a column wheel chronograph with vertical clutch,
entirely designed and manufactured by Rolex. The watch is also
available with an ivory-colored dial with gold hour markers, but Rolex
has not yet released photos of this particular variation.
