A Short Historic for Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116520:
Daytona was designed sturdy tough timepiece with the aim of calculating the elapsed time and average speed through the chronograph and the tachymeter engraved on the bezel.
Cosmograph watches were used at sports events due to this ability.
At the end of 1960s, Rolex added the Daytona title to its collection after the Daytona International Speedway festival.
As Rolex continues to sponsor sporting events to this very day, Daytona became a symbol of accuracy in hard conditions.
Let's talk about the bracelet, which was a long time in the center of many debates. There were many complaints about the hollow center links for bracelets Rolex produced. So the company redesigned the model in order to have solid center links. In the Oyster Professional line now there are two collections that have the much higher quality deployant clasp: Daytona and Yachmaster .
Now the Daytona 116520 is one of the best watches Rolex has ever manufactured.
This model's caliber is also of a superior quality. Along its history, Rolex started with the Zenith Caliber 400 El Primero, it evolved into a Daytona Caliber 4030 which was transformed and improved in 2000 with the Rolex Caliber 4130. The caliber helps you control the chronograph functions through a vertical friction that lead to the column wheel operations.
4130 Caliber used for the first time in Rolex history ceramic ball bearings in the automatic winding process. The other calibers rely on one lubricated sleeve that must maintain the automatic wind, while 4130 has an exceptional winding rotor spin. An additional plus at this section is the lower maintenance compared with the other calibers.
The 44 jewel movement is composed of a total of 201 components and has a reserve power of 72 hours, oscillating at 28,800 bhp.
That's not a big number when it comes to parts, most brands using even more. Rolex however goes on the ideea that less is more and designed it with fewer components for an easier maintenance and a more solid and firm movement.
After this short analysis we can have only one conclusion: Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116520 is one of the best watches Rolex has ever produced, with superior functions that any other timepieces from other collections or brands. One of the best Cosmograph on the market, Daytona 116520 continues to be one of the most wanted watch in the world.
