Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN Black Review
07 Apr 2022

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN Black Review

The Rolex Daytona Chronograph has enjoyed many years of popularity in the luxury watch industry, with subsequent models receiving subtle aesthetic enhancements. One of the most common models of this luxury watch is the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, reference number 116500LN Black, which came after the 116520 Black models. Most of these Rolex watch models are found in our watch store, Atlanta Luxury Watches, where a team of professionals is ready to help you get the perfect timepiece that matches your lifestyle and personality.

Before making up your mind on a particular Rolex watch model, it is vital to ensure you have all the necessary information to make an informed decision. Let us look at the features that make the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN Black one of the popular models.

Bezel

One of the most noticeable differences between the two luxury watch models is the addition of a black ceramic bezel ''cerachrom.'' Compared to the predecessor, which had a stainless-steel bezel, the black bezel gives the impression of a larger dial. This new and improved bezel has several features that make it ideal for daily use, including scratch resistance, impervious to color fading caused by UV rays and resisting corrosion.

A lot of thought has gone into redesigning the bezel of the new Rolex watch model, making it a popular model for luxury watch enthusiasts. Several things have changed design-wise, starting with the typeface, which is considered more legible and bolder and is filled with a platinum PVD fill. Another difference between the bezel is that it uses triangles beneath the numerals of the tachymeter instead of dots.

Case

The Rolex Cosmograph 116500LN Black consists of an oyster case 40mm X 12.4mm thick, and a corrosion-resistant superalloy referred to as 904L steel, which maintains its polish better than stainless steel. The 904L steel might not be the strongest allowed, but it has a brighter luster, perfect for a Rolex watch. Luxury watch manufacturers lack the proper equipment to use this expensive type of steel, but Rolex has an added advantage since they manufacture all the components in-house.

The Oyster case is the first waterproof case and has become synonymous with Rolex watch models since 1926. It works using a screwed-down bezel to tighten and lock the monobloc middle case. The Daytona case uses this ''trip locks'' locking system to secure the watch against water and protect the pushers for the stopwatch function.

Dial

Unlike most things from the predecessor model that have been altered or upgraded, the dial has remained the same. The truth is that the dial barely needed any changes since the Daytona Chronograph is the most recognizable dial among all luxury watch brands. Everything from the perfectly calibrated proportions to the applied polished steel hour markers with luminous fill guarantees you have a long-lasting dial that’s easy to read.
