OYSTER PERPETUAL COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA 2021, 40mm Reference: 116515LN

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona 116515LN (2021) is a truly iconic timepiece that captures the spirit of motorsport and luxury in a single, beautifully crafted watch. Known for its exceptional performance, timeless design, and high-quality craftsmanship, the Daytona has been a symbol of precision and elegance for over half a century. The 116515LN, introduced in 2021, offers a 40mm case in 18K Everose gold, paired with a ceramic bezel, black dial, and a refined design that embodies the perfect balance of sporty sophistication.

Case and Design

The Oyster Perpetual Daytona 116515LN features a robust and polished 40mm case crafted from 18K Everose gold, a proprietary rose gold alloy developed by Rolex to resist fading and maintain its lustrous, warm tone over time. The case is designed with Rolex’s signature Oyster case shape, renowned for its rugged durability, water resistance, and elegant form. With its luxurious rose gold hue, this Daytona is the epitome of sporty luxury, maintaining the DNA of the Daytona collection while offering a more refined, elevated appearance.

The watch features a screw-down caseback and crown, ensuring water resistance up to 100 meters (330 feet). The polished and brushed finishes on the case offer a striking contrast, giving the watch a modern yet classic appeal. One of the standout features of this reference is the black ceramic bezel, made of Cerachrom, Rolex’s own patented high-tech material that is scratch-resistant, fade-resistant, and designed to withstand the test of time.

The ceramic bezel is engraved with a tachymeter scale, which allows the wearer to measure average speed over a set distance. This functional complication is ideal for motorsport enthusiasts and adds an element of technical precision to the already stunning aesthetic of the Daytona.

Dial and Features

The dial of the Daytona 116515LN is a sleek and refined black with a sunburst finish that exudes luxury and sophistication. The dark dial provides a perfect contrast to the rose gold hands and hour markers, which are coated with Chromalight luminescence for clear readability in low light. The dial layout is perfectly balanced, with the sub-dials positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock to display chronograph minutes, chronograph hours, and running seconds, respectively.

At the 3 o’clock position, the sub-dial tracks the chronograph minutes, while the 6 o’clock sub-dial tracks the chronograph hours, and the 9 o’clock sub-dial shows the continuous seconds. The central chronograph hand is rose gold and adds a bold accent against the black dial, enabling easy tracking of elapsed time. The tachymeter scale on the ceramic bezel allows users to measure speed, providing a functional and sporty complication for motorsport lovers.

The date window of the watch is located at 6 o’clock, which is a signature feature of the Daytona collection, and it blends seamlessly into the dial’s design, ensuring the overall look remains clean and balanced. Rolex’s signature Oyster hands are elegantly designed, offering both style and functionality, with the hour hand in the shape of an arrow, the minute hand resembling a sword, and the second hand being slim and sleek.

Movement

At the heart of the Rolex Daytona 116515LN is the legendary Rolex Caliber 4130 movement. This self-winding chronograph movement is a prime example of Rolex’s engineering excellence, offering reliability, precision, and durability. The Caliber 4130 features a column-wheel chronograph mechanism, known for its smoothness and precision when starting, stopping, and resetting the chronograph. The vertical clutch allows the chronograph function to engage without any jump in the seconds hand, ensuring accurate and smooth tracking of elapsed time.

The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), providing a high level of accuracy while maintaining stability during high-speed chronograph operations. The Caliber 4130 also boasts a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, which allows the watch to keep running for three full days when not worn, making it ideal for those who rotate between different timepieces.

In addition to the chronograph and tachymeter, the Caliber 4130 also features a Parachrom hairspring, a technology developed by Rolex that enhances the movement’s resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, ensuring the watch remains accurate in a variety of conditions. The movement is meticulously finished, with Côtes de Genève and Perlage decorations visible through the sapphire caseback, highlighting Rolex’s commitment to high-end craftsmanship.

Strap and Clasp

The Daytona 116515LN is equipped with an Oysterflex bracelet, a highly innovative strap that combines the comfort and flexibility of a rubber strap with the elegance and durability of a metallic core. The Oysterflex bracelet is designed with a titanium-nickel alloy inner metal blade, ensuring flexibility and comfort while maintaining the sporty look of a traditional metal bracelet. It also has a high-performance rubber exterior that is both durable and water-resistant, making it suitable for a variety of active lifestyles.

The bracelet features a Rolex Glidelock clasp, which allows for easy adjustment of the bracelet’s length without the need for tools, ensuring the perfect fit at all times. The clasp is crafted from 18K Everose gold, matching the case, and is engraved with the Rolex crown logo, reinforcing the watch’s luxury status.
