The Reference 116520 is one of the most historically significant models in the Daytona’s lineage.¹ Launched in 2000 and produced until 2016, it marked the first time Rolex equipped its flagship chronograph with a completely in-house movement, the Calibre 4130.² Known for its "all-steel" look, the 116520 is a favorite among collectors who prefer the vintage-modern aesthetic of a metal tachymeter bezel over the newer ceramic versions.

Product Overview

This model is defined by its high-performance Oystersteel construction and a glossy black dial that has aged into a modern classic. Unlike its successor (the 116500LN), which features a black ceramic bezel, the 116520 maintains a monochromatic steel appearance, where the engraved tachymetric scale is carved directly into the 904L steel bezel.

• 🌑 Black Sunray Dial: Features silver-rimmed sub-dials (registers) that create a sleek, "reverse panda" effect.⁵ The red "Daytona" text above the 6 o'clock sub-dial adds the signature pop of color.

• 🛡️ Engraved Steel Bezel: A fixed 904L stainless steel bezel with a tachymetric scale.⁶ This gives the watch a slightly more understated, "tool-watch" profile compared to the high-contrast ceramic models.

• ✨ Luminous Evolution: Early versions (pre-2013) use green-glowing Super-LumiNova, while later examples (2013–2016) feature Rolex’s blue Chromalight display for enhanced long-lasting legibility.

• ⛓️ Oyster Bracelet: A robust three-piece link bracelet.⁸ Models produced after 2008 feature the updated machined Oysterlock clasp with the Easylink 5mm comfort extension

• ⚙️ Calibre 4130 Movement: A breakthrough in-house movement with fewer components for better reliability, a vertical clutch for smooth chronograph starts, and a 72-hour power reserve.
