Rolex added a whole new feature to the Daytona collection decades ago — ceramic bezels. Following in the footsteps of Rolex’s other sports watches, such as gm-Master II and Submariner, versions have come with scratch-resistant and color-resistant Cerachrom ceramic bezels.
The first Daytona to feature the fake rolex-patented ceramic alloy was the Everose Daytona ref. 116515LN with a black bezel. According to this, Rolex launched the special anniversary Daytona ref. 116506 in 2013 in platinum with a brown ceramic bezel. This was the first time the Daytona was available to the public in platinum.
Over the next years, Rolex began adding the coveted ceramic bezel to a host of different metal Daytona watches including the white gold Daytona ref. 116519LN and the yellow gold Daytona ref. 116518LN. However, the most popular ceramic Daytona model to date is the stainless steel Daytona ref. 116500LN in stainless steel, which came out in 2016.
It’s important to note that the newer rolex Daytona replica watches with ceramic bezels also run on the in-house Caliber 4130 movement. However, Rolex did redefine their “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certifed” label in 2015 to guarantee a -/+ 2 accuracy rating and a longer five-year warranty.
It’s difficult to overstate the popularity of the Rolex Daytona. It is one of the most popular and recognized luxury timepieces in the world. With its fantastic design, impressive machinery, and charming combination of a wide selection of materials and styles, it’s no wonder that automatic Daytona has become a must-have timepiece, despite its once-slow sales predecessor. Indeed, it was the triumphant end of a slow start!
