This 126508 wears its intense black dial with champagne-toned subdials — a color split that creates more depth than the bright black variant’s uniform dark surface. The champagne registers echo the yellow gold case, forming a visual bridge between dial and metal that gives this configuration its own identity within the 126508 family. Compare both dial options and all gold Daytonas in the Daytona collection.

The 126508 Intense Black Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The 40mm yellow gold case is finished with the same alternating polish and brush work found on every modern Daytona. The fixed gold bezel carries an engraved tachymetric scale readable to 400 units per hour, machined directly into the 18k surface without ceramic overlay.
The intense black dial uses a deeper matte finish compared to the bright black version, and the champagne subdials at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock introduce a warm secondary tone. Applied gold hour markers with luminescent fill stand out crisply against the dark background.
The three-link Oyster bracelet in matching yellow gold connects through a folding Oysterclasp. Each center link is polished, flanked by brushed outer links for a finish that mirrors the case treatment.
