Introduced in 2023, the 126500LN-0002 marks a significant evolution in the Daytona series. With subtle yet impactful design enhancements and the introduction of the Caliber 4131 movement, this model reinforces Rolex's commitment to innovation and excellence in the realm of high-end timepieces.

Design and Craftsmanship

The watch features a 40mm Oyster case crafted from Oystersteel, known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and its ability to maintain a polished finish. The black dial is complemented by steel counter rings, offering a striking contrast that enhances legibility. The monobloc Cerachrom bezel in black ceramic is not only scratch-resistant but also features a tachymetric scale, allowing for precise speed measurements. The Chromalight display ensures optimal readability in low-light conditions, thanks to its long-lasting blue luminescence.

At the heart of this timepiece lies the Rolex Caliber 4131, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This movement incorporates the Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers, ensuring exceptional precision and reliability. With a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, the Caliber 4131 offers consistent performance, even during extended periods without wear.
