The intense black dial on this 126518LN delivers a deeper, more matte finish than the bright black and golden-dial siblings sharing the same reference number. Against yellow gold, intense black creates the highest contrast of the three — a combination favored by those who want their Daytona to command attention through visual tension rather than tonal harmony. All three 126518LN dial options are available in the Daytona collection.

The 126518LN Intense Black Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The 40mm yellow gold case is polished on the lugs and bezel edge, brushed along the sides — standard Daytona finishing applied to precious metal. The black Cerachrom bezel snaps into place over the case with molded tachymetric numerals, its ceramic construction ensuring fade-proof and scratch-resistant performance.
The intense black dial has a deep matte quality that absorbs light, making the applied gold hour markers and gold-edged hands appear to float above the surface. Three recessed subdials carry a subtle sunken texture, and their gold framing ties back to the case metal.
The Oysterflex bracelet offers a sport-forward alternative to the Oyster metal bracelet. Its rubber exterior covers a flexible metal blade that maintains structural rigidity while conforming to the wrist.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two movement tiers are available for the 126518LN:
