Ice blue face, brown accents
On the close-up photo (02) black Eastern Arabic digits stand at every hour except 12, where the crown logo sits, and 3, 6 and 9, next to the counters. Brown appears twice: on the ring around each ice blue counter and on the bezel. The black digits give a stronger contrast than the 116506 with the Middle East dial, whose digits are applied in a silver tone, and a busier face than the platinum-tone 116506 with baton markers.

Case, bracelet and crystal
This listing is 904L steel finished in a platinum tone, so it weighs and wears like a steel Daytona. The bracelet is a three-link Oyster with a folding clasp. The sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating; rated to 30 m, it is fine in rain but not in a pool.
Which movement to pick
Choose Japanese for a Miyota-based automatic chronograph at 21,600 vph and about 40 hours of reserve, or Swiss for a movement that follows the 4130 chronograph at 28,800 vph. Both run the chronograph through start, stop and reset. The rest of our Daytona chronographs use the same two options, and the BTF vs Clean Daytona comparison explains how builds are judged.
What is this 116506 made of?
904L steel in a platinum tone, like every platinum-tone model we list. That keeps the cool grey colour of the case at the weight of a steel watch.
