In addition to the great new Rolex Explorer two wrist watch version for 2011, Rolex provides you the newest wide variety of Daytona wristwatches for all men this year at the Baselworld display. 2011 is obviously the 50th birthday of the Daytona, for this reason many of us acquire a pair of types of new types. Rolex is more deeply rumored to released a new overhauled Daytona for 2012. Till then we have the a lot more ordinary looking product that nowadays comes with Rolex's very nice ceramic bezel that they call their "Cerachrom" bezel. The black bezel is a retro-nod to a lot of more aged Daytona types and is in dark ceramic with red-colored gold numerals applied with an fascinating skills call "magnetron cathode sputtering." Yes, much more of that please.
The case is 40mm in width and in 18k Rolex Everose pink coloured gold (that is said not to ever 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 released over the following few years, including versions with a bracelet, Rolesor (two tone), and stainless steel styles. As you can see, the watch comes along with both white and chocolate dials. There also appears like to be the option of Arabic numeral hour markers or baton style hour markers. Hands on the dial are in matching pink gold.
Inside the watch is the same outgoing Rolex made reference 4130 automatic chronograph movement. In my opinion that if Rolex makes an updated, larger Daytona watch they are willing to fit it with a brand-new movement. Could all of us see a Rolex Daytona 2 in the future years? Trends seems to be denote a "maybe" on that.
The black ceramic bezel is in line with what the GMT Master and Submariner watches now have. Rolex looks to be enjoying the pristine looking scratch-free material enough to utilise it in more designer watches.
In addition to the new ceramic bezeled Daytona there are some other brand new versions for next year that I think are really handsome. These are Paul Newman Daytona homages that Rolex is giving itself. Again, expect greater number of these in the upcoming years. My favorite design 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 designs. 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.
Rolex is hinting here that the Daytona range will see a few changes in the coming years. I don't think they will discontinue the 40mm wide type, but I expect a new, larger Daytona with a new movement to come from the house of Rolex soon.
