Buying Guideline of Automatic Daytona Luxurious Watches

Daytona watches

The second generation of the Rolex Daytona appeared in 1988, both as a larger replica watch (40mm instead of 37mm) and as an automatic. Rolex used the base Zenith El-Primero movement to power these five-figure Daytona models but modified the movement by about 50% and renamed it the Rolex 4030 movement. This generation (nicknamed the Zenith Daytona) is when Rolex began offering a wider variety of products for the Daytona line, including new material options such as white gold. However, Rolex paired the white gold “Zenith” Daytona ref. 16519 with a leather strap rather than the customary Oyster strap.
The six-figure reference Daytona watch debuted at Baselworld 2000, where the previous Zenith El Primo movement was replaced by Rolex’s in-house caliber 4130. The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 automatic chronograph movement offers a number of advantages, including fewer components for greater reliability, a Parachrom hairspring for greater resistance to external factors, and a 72-hour power reserve. Shortly after the release of the first Daytona watches with in-house movements, Rolex added the all-white gold Daytona 116509 to the collection in 2004 with a white gold Oyster bracelet at https://www.replicaimitation.com.
Another notable upgrade made to the white gold Daytona model was the meteorite dial. While Rolex produced the Ref. 2021, Rolex placed this dial for the first time with a striking black subdial, similar to the iconic replica Rolex Daytona Panda dial. The fascinating thing about the Rolex Meteorite Dial is that it is a genuine meteorite collected from the famous Gibeon meteorite in Namibia, Africa. This material is then treated to reveal the distinctive stripes.
Today, collectors can choose from four standard dial colors: Rising Sun Blue, with dynamic red accents within the subdials; Black, with shiny diamond hour markers; Steel, with contrasting black subdials; and Meteorite, with black subdials. The collection used to include shiny mother-of-pearl, as well as sporty “racing dials” adorned with old-fashioned hour markers. However, these dial options have since been discontinued.
