This replica recreates the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500 with its distinctive stainless steel bezel — a configuration that harks back to the original pre-ceramic Daytona aesthetic. The 116500 reference marked a pivotal chapter when Rolex reintroduced the steel bezel alongside the ceramic option, and this replica captures that purposeful, tool-watch character in full 40mm Oystersteel form.

The 116500 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The 40mm Oystersteel case houses the signature Daytona chronograph layout with a black dial featuring contrasting subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. The stainless steel bezel carries the engraved tachymeter scale, giving this variant a more understated, vintage-inspired look compared to the Cerachrom versions.
Screw-down pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock ensure the chronograph mechanism is protected, while the Oyster bracelet with brushed center links completes the sporty profile. Explore more chronograph options in our Daytona collection.
