Brand new rose or yellow gold versions demand about 35 500 usd while the extraordinarily popular stainless steel model with a black ceramic bezel changes hands for around 26 000 usd. The original stainless steel and gold bezels are very easy to scratch and harder to buff out without removing the baked in paint used for the markers. A key part of the model s identity is the bezel engraved with a tachymetric scale for measuring average speeds of up to 400 miles or kilometres per hour. It uses a new monobloc cerachrom bezel in black ceramic with an updated tahcymeter design shedding the older engraved metal bezel.

The platinum daytona with an ice blue dial and brown ceramic bezel tops the price range for current timepieces at approximately 83 000 usd. After many price increases the surcharges for used steel models became smaller and so too did the waiting lists until 2016 when rolex unveiled a steel daytona with a ceramic bezel. The wait is over with the new for baselworld 2016 rolex cosmograph daytona reference 116500ln in 904l steel. On the other hand the black ceramic bezel lends a formal touch to the daytona 116500 kind of like throwing on a blazer over a t shirt to dress it up.

Blending of high technology with sleek aesthetics the black bezel is reminiscent of the 1965 model that was fitted with a black plexiglas bezel insert. A ceramic bezel had long been available on rose gold models and the platinum daytona made for the 50th anniversary in 2013 had one too so it s not that. It was followed by the platinum 50th anniversary daytona ref 116506 in 2013 this time with a brown ceramic bezel. This bezel will make your watch look like the brand new daytona s rolling out of the rolex workshops.

And although ceramic is a modern addition to luxury watches the daytona ref. The first daytona to be equipped with the rolex patented cerachrom bezel was the everose gold daytona ref 116515ln with a black bezel launched in 2010. It s about time the steel rolex daytona got an upgrade as it s been about sixteen years since we ve seen it refreshed.
