2011 Daytona Swiss watches foe Rolex

As well as the great new Rolex Explorer 2 wristwatch model type for 2011, Rolex special offers the absolutely new broad variety of Daytona wristwatches for adult men this year at the Baselworld display. 2011 is obviously the fiftieth birthday of the Daytona, so we get a couple of types of brand new models. Rolex is definitely further more rumored to supplied an overhauled Daytona for 2012. Until eventually then we have the far more ordinary looking style that at this time comes with Rolex's very amazing ceramic bezel that they call their "Cerachrom" bezel. The black color bezel is a retro-nod to a lot of elderly Daytona models and is in dark colored ceramic with pink colored gold numerals applied with an amusing skills call "magnetron cathode sputtering." Yes, much more of that please.



The case is 40mm wide-ranging and in 18k Rolex Everose pink colored silver (that is said not to lose colour). This reference 116515LN will come on a black color alligator strap for now. As is Rolex's custom, I anticipate more models of this style being released in the next few years, including types with a bracelet, Rolesor (two tone), and stainless steel designs. As you can see, the watch comes with both white and chocolate dials. There also looks as if to be the option of Arabic numeral hour markers or baton pattern hour markers. Hands on the dial are in matching pink colored gold.





Inside the watch is the same outgoing Rolex made reference 4130 automatic chronograph movement. I believe that if Rolex makes an updated, greater Daytona writst watch they are going to fit it with a latest movement. Can all of us see a Rolex Daytona 2 in the coming years? Tendencies appears to be point to a "maybe" on that.



The black ceramic bezel is in line with what the GMT Master and Submariner designer watches now have. Rolex appears to be enjoying the pristine looking scratch-free material enough to utilise it in more swiss watches.







Besides the new ceramic bezeled Daytona here are a few other brand-new designs for next year that I think are really handsome. These are generally Paul Newman Daytona homages that Rolex is giving itself. Again, expect greater number of these in the upcoming years. My favorite version is in all 18k Everose gold, with a polished bezel and gold dial with dark-coloured chronograph subsdials along with red chronograph seconds hand. How nice is that? And at 40mm in width it isn't large, but it isn't very small just like the real vintage models. This model also comes in a two-tone variant in a similar style but with Arabic hour numerals and a slightly different palette on the dial.



is hinting here that the Daytona collection will see some changes in the coming years. I don't think they will discontinue the 40mm wide type, yet I expect a new, larger Daytona with a new movement to come from the house of Rolex soon.
