If the Panda is the extrovert, the Godzilla is the understated powerhouse. Reference 126500LN in black dial takes the same 40mm Oystersteel case and ceramic bezel but swaps contrast for stealth — black on black on black, with only the white subdial registers and red “Daytona” script breaking the darkness. The nickname emerged in Asian collector circles and stuck worldwide.

The 126500LN Godzilla Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
Black Cerachrom ceramic meets a matching black dial, and the result is a Daytona that reads as a single dark mass on the wrist until light catches the polished case flanks. The three subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock carry silver registers for minimum legibility, while the red “Daytona” text at 6 o’clock adds the only colour accent on the entire dial.
The Oyster bracelet’s brushed centre links contrast with polished outer links. Compare both dial variants — Panda and Godzilla — in our Daytona collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two automatic chronograph calibers are available:
- Swiss Automatic — column-wheel chronograph at 28,800 vph, ~72-hour power reserve. Vertical clutch for seamless start/stop, replicating Caliber 4130 operation.
- Japanese Automatic — cam-lever chronograph, 40+ hour reserve. Proven reliability with straightforward servicing at any independent watchmaker.
Both power the tachymetre, 30-minute, and 12-hour registers.
