Rolex, Daytona, 116509, Meteorite Dial, Chronograph, White Gold, Oyster Bracelet, 40mm

The Rolex Daytona 116509-0073 is a 40mm chronograph crafted entirely in 18k white gold, combining a refined case material with one of the most distinctive dial options in the collection.

Its case is paired with a matching white gold bezel engraved with a tachymetric scale, designed for measuring average speeds over a fixed distance.

The polished finish gives the watch a clean and understated presence on the wrist.

The meteorite dial is formed from a natural extraterrestrial material, showcasing unique crystalline patterns that make each piece visually distinct.

The sub-dials are clearly defined, maintaining legibility while complementing the dial’s natural texture.

Applied hour markers and hands are filled with Chromalight to ensure visibility in low-light conditions.

The chronograph layout features three sub-dials that allow precise measurement of elapsed time, arranged in a balanced and functional format.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 4130, a self-winding chronograph movement known for its reliability and efficiency, offering approximately 72 hours of power reserve.

Screw-down pushers and a Triplock crown contribute to water resistance up to 100 metres.  A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial and enhances durability.

The watch is completed with an 18k white gold Oyster bracelet, engineered for strength and comfort.

It is secured with an Oysterlock clasp, ensuring a secure and stable fit.

With its full white gold construction and naturally patterned meteorite dial, the Daytona 116509-0073 offers a more distinctive and collectible interpretation of Rolex’s iconic chronograph.
