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.
