Rolex is one of the world’s most recognizable luxury watch brands, known for high-quality timepieces and iconic designs. One of their most popular models is the Rolex Daytona, and the Ceramic Daytona Panda Dial Watch 1165000LN is a standout piece. This watch features a black and white “panda” dial and a ceramic bezel, making it a durable and stylish option for those who value fine craftsmanship.
The Ceramic Cosmograph Daytona Ref 116500LN was clearly the most popular model introduced at Baselworld 2016. There are several reasons why this configuration captivated Rolex enthusiasts. The Ceramic Cosmograph Daytona Ref 116500LN is without a doubt one of Rolex’s most popular models, thanks to its ceramic bezel insert and stainless steel combination. The Cerachrom bezel insert, developed in-house by Rolex, is known for its durability and resistance to scratches, making it an ideal addition for those who wear their watch on a daily basis.
The watch’s beauty, however, is not limited to its original design. The Rubber B Strap is an alternative to the traditional Rolex Oyster bracelet, giving the classic timepiece a unique and modern twist. The Rubber B Strap is made of high-quality vulcanized rubber and is available in black, white, and gray colors. SwimSkin Alligator and SwimSkin Ballistic materials are also available for a more textured look and feel.
Additionally, the watch’s aesthetic design has also contributed to its popularity, as it closely resembles the highly sought-after Paul Newman Daytona models. These vintage watches can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction due to their rarity and unique dial combinations. The white dial and black sub-dials of the 116500LN, combined with its black ceramic bezel, make it a highly coveted watch among fans of the Paul Newman model.
The Ceramic Daytona Panda is still in high demand, with dealers struggling to keep up with the demand for this coveted timepiece. The Rubber B Strap is a stylish and practical way to improve the look and feel of this watch while also adding comfort and customization for its wearer. The Rubber B Strap, with its high-quality materials and attention to detail, is the ideal accessory to complement the iconic design of the Ceramic Daytona Panda Dial Watch 116500LN.
Rubber B also has a tang buckle series for the Rolex Daytona that is ideal for those who prefer a more traditional look. Tang buckles are available in two styles: Vulcanized Rubber and VulChromatic, both of which are made of high-quality materials and provide a comfortable fit. The tang buckle series is also available in a variety of colors to complement the Ceramic Daytona Panda Dial Watch 116500 original design.
Daytona Panda Movement
The Rolex Ceramic Daytona Panda Dial Watch 116500LN is notable for its ceramic bezel insert and attractive design, but it also features the Rolex Caliber 4130 movement. The movement is made up of only 201 parts, making it less complicated than other movements while also being incredibly precise, robust, thin, and refined in operation. Even after 22 years, the 4130 outperforms other movements in its class and remains one of the most difficult challenges in modern watchmaking to achieve such precision in an automatic chronograph. Rolex has a well-deserved reputation for the dependability and indestructibility of its movements, and the 4130 is a shining example of the brand’s engineering prowess.
The feel of Daytona Panda Watch
The Rolex Daytona watch is made to feel precious while also being nearly indestructible. The timepiece is made of 904L steel and has a bracelet link fit that is extremely tight and consistent. The case is specially designed to withstand numerous compression and heat cycles, resulting in a long-lasting and dense feel. These elements, combined with other efforts, give the Daytona a much more robust feel than most other luxury chronographs. Despite its brightness and shine, the watch manages to maintain a high level of consistency between its various polished surfaces while remaining understated.
