The 116508 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The 40mm yellow gold case carries the heft and warmth that collectors associate with precious-metal Daytonas. The engraved tachymeter bezel retains sharp definition, framing a gold sunburst dial where three subdials — small seconds at six, 30-minute counter at three, and 12-hour totaliser at nine — add functional depth to the monochrome layout.
The matching yellow gold Oyster bracelet features solid three-piece links with an Oysterclasp, delivering a fully integrated gold-on-gold aesthetic. Explore the full chronograph range in the Daytona collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
This Daytona is available with two movement tiers to match your requirements:
- Swiss Automatic — higher beat rate for smoother chronograph sweep, extended power reserve, and decorated rotor. The premium option for collectors seeking the closest mechanical experience to the genuine caliber 4130.
- Japanese Automatic (Miyota) — proven reliability with 21,600 vph beat rate and approximately 40-hour power reserve. Easy to service worldwide, making it the practical daily-wear choice.
Both options feature automatic winding and hacking seconds.
