This Rolex Daytona 116508 often is described as the "modern day" Rolex Daytona Paul Newman dial. Launched during the 2000s with a stunning array of colors and premium details, this Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is as beautiful as it is sophisticated.
Inside the Rolex Oyster case sits an in house Rolex caliber 4130 automatic movement with three day (3 day/72 hour) power reserve, COSC Swiss chronometer certification, and both a vertical clutch and column wheel for crisp and precise chronograph operation.
The Rolex 116508 includes screw down crowns and an Oyster caseback to achieve 100 meter water resistance. The sapphire crystal resists scratches and is ringed by a tachymeter scale for measuring the speed of a race car or aircraft. Super Luminova ensures that this Rolex chronograph can be seen with ease during the dark hours of a 24 hour auto race at Daytona speedway.
Rolex fits the Cosmograph Daytona 116508 with an Oyster bracelet and Oyster clasp. The deployant clasp is held secure by a clamshell lock; Rolex Easylink permits tool free micrometrical adjustments of sizing.
The Rolex Daytona 116508 features a 40mm 18k yellow gold case surrounding a black and champagne dial on an 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelet with folding buckle. Functions include hours, minutes, small-seconds and chronograph. The watch also measures mm in thickness and mm from lug-to-lug.
