The 116506 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The 40mm Oystersteel case features the Daytona’s hallmark screw-down pushers and crown with polished-brushed finishing across the case surfaces. The tachymeter bezel retains the engraved scale that has defined the Daytona since its introduction as a racing chronograph.
The ice blue dial is what sets the 116506 apart from every other Daytona reference. The pale blue sunburst finish carries Arabic numeral hour markers — a departure from the stick indices found on most Daytona dials. Three recessed subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock complement the cool-toned palette. This is the Daytona variant most frequently discussed among collectors and enthusiasts.
The stainless steel Oyster bracelet with solid links and Oysterlock clasp provides a robust, comfortable fit. View the full range of Daytona references in our Daytona collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two automatic movement grades are offered for this Ice Blue Daytona replica:
- Swiss Automatic — 28,800 vph beat rate with approximately 48-hour power reserve. Chronograph mechanism references the Caliber 4130 with reliable start-stop-reset functionality.
- Japanese Automatic (Miyota) — Workhorse 21,600 vph movement with excellent service life and global parts availability. An accessible entry point to the 116506 design.
Both options deliver accurate chronograph function across the three subdial registers.
