Factory-Original Black Diamond Dial

The defining feature of this Daytona 116508 is its factory-original Rolex black diamond-set dial. The dark dial contrasts strongly with the 18ct yellow-gold case and bracelet, while the diamond hour markers add a more jewellery-led character without changing the Daytona's chronograph layout.

For a deeper reference overview, read our Rolex Daytona 116508 buying guide, covering the black diamond dial, calibre 4130, yellow-gold case and bracelet, authenticity checks and what to look for when buying pre-owned.


Cosmograph Daytona & Calibre 4130

The Rolex Daytona 116508 is powered by the Rolex calibre 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement with an approximately 72-hour power reserve.

Its chronograph layout includes central chronograph seconds, a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour chronograph counter, together with a separate small-seconds display. The watch does not have a date or day/date display.

The fixed bezel carries a tachymetric scale, while the sapphire crystal and screw-down Oyster architecture support a water-resistance rating of 100 metres / 330 feet.


40 mm Yellow-Gold Oyster Case & Bracelet

Reference 116508 uses a 40 mm Oyster case in 18ct yellow gold with a matching yellow-gold Oyster bracelet. The three-link bracelet and Oysterlock-style folding clasp maintain the familiar Daytona profile while giving the watch the weight and presence of a full precious-metal construction.

Part exchange with Batman

Gave me a great deal on a watch and were very nice with the service, have come to them before and they have always treated me nicely.

Mehrab

Imperial Time team is very knowledgeable

5 | 5.0 Reviews

Although the team couldn’t quite give me the watch I was looking for, I feel sure they will be able to source it and get back to me. The guys were very knowledgeable and didn’t have any hard sell tactics, just simply wanted to please, and the watch I was shown was a beautiful piece, just not quite the configuration I was looking for. I’m sure I'll be back.
