As the moniker suggests, the “Zenith” Daytona is coveted by watch collectors due to the special movement utilized by Rolex. Caliber 4030 found within Reference 16520 is a heavily modified automatic chronograph movement based on Zenith’s El Primero Caliber 4030. Over 200 modifications were completed on the El Primero based caliber in order to meet the exceptional standards of excellence from Rolex.

The dial has developed a light patina in the chronograph registers which gives a delightful warmth to the watch. The black dial, steel case, and steel bracelet give the watch a sleek appearance and handling. The iconic red “DAYTONA” text is present above the 6 o’clock register and adds to the watch’s neo-vintage charm.
