Rolex Daytona Zenith - 40 MM - Stainless Steel - Black Dial - Oyster Bracelet - 16520

ROLEX DAYTONA ZENITH 40 MM STAINLESS STEEL OYSTER 

The Rolex Daytona 16520, introduced in 1988, marked a pivotal transition for the Daytona collection by incorporating the Zenith El Primero automatic movement, significantly enhancing its precision and desirability among enthusiasts. Encased in stainless steel and featuring a 40mm diameter, the 16520 brought forth a sapphire crystal to the series, replacing the previous acrylic inserts and ensuring superior scratch resistance. The tri-compax layout of the sub-dials, consisting of a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, and a constant seconds display at 6 o’clock, ensured optimal readability while maintaining a clean aesthetic. Furnished with a Tachymetric scale on its bezel, the 16520 enables users to measure speed over a known distance, reflecting its roots in automotive racing. Coupled with a power reserve of approximately 52 hours and water resistance up to 100 meters, the Daytona 16520 intertwines practical utility with enduring style.

Becoming more and more vintage-feeling by the day, the "Zenith" Daytona in stainless steel is quickly becoming a neo-vintage classic.
