Rolex Daytona 116500LN 40mm 4130 Movement BLAKEN Black PVD Watch
This BLAKEN modified version of Rolex Cosmograph Daytona combines professional chronograph capabilities with the unique look of all-black appearance. Black PVD treatment applied to the 40mm case and bracelet preserves the typical proportions of the watch while adding a unique look to it.
The black dial of this version of the watch uses typical three-register layout of the collection. 30-minute register is located at 3 o’clock position, 12-hour register at 6 o’clock position, and running seconds register at 9 o’clock position. Silver-toned subdials create strong contrast against the dark dial, while luminescent hour markers, narrow hands, and minute track ensure easy reading.
The tachymeter bezel is inscribed with “UNITS PER HOUR” and is used along with chronograph seconds hand to measure average speed in units per hour based on a measured distance. Inscription of the watch with red letters “DAYTONA” emphasizes the motorsport character of the watch, while 4130 automatic mechanical movement drives both basic and chronograph functions of the watch.

FAQ
1. What information is displayed by the three subdials?
The register near 3 o’clock measures up to 30 elapsed minutes, the register at 6 o’clock measures up to 12 elapsed hours, and the register near 9 o’clock displays continuous running seconds.
2. How is the tachymeter bezel used?
Start the chronograph at the beginning of a measured distance and stop it at the end. The central chronograph hand will indicate an estimated average speed on the “UNITS PER HOUR” scale.
3. Can the black PVD coating become scratched?
Yes. PVD provides a durable surface finish, but it can still be marked by hard impacts, abrasion, or repeated contact with metal objects. Careful storage and wear will help preserve the coating.
