Product Description
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Panda” 126500LN represents the latest evolution of one of the most sought-after chronographs in modern watchmaking. With its crisp white dial contrasted by black subdials and a black Cerachrom bezel, this reference refines the icon while preserving everything collectors love about the Daytona lineage.
Case & Design
Crafted in 904L Oystersteel, the 40mm case features updated proportions for a sharper, more defined profile. The black Cerachrom ceramic bezel with engraved tachymetric scale enhances durability while reinforcing the Daytona’s motorsport heritage. Subtle refinements to the case and dial give the 126500LN a more contemporary presence without losing its timeless appeal.
The signature “Panda” configuration—white lacquer dial with contrasting black-ringed chronograph counters—delivers exceptional legibility and unmistakable character. Applied Chromalight hour markers and hands provide long-lasting blue luminescence for visibility in low light.
Movement
At the heart of the 126500LN is the Rolex Caliber 4131, an updated in-house automatic chronograph movement featuring:
-
Chronergy escapement for improved efficiency
-
Parachrom hairspring for enhanced resistance to shocks and temperature variations
-
Approximately 72-hour power reserve
-
Superlative Chronometer certification (−2/+2 seconds per day after casing)
The 4131 also introduces refined finishing and a skeletonized oscillating weight—marking a new technical chapter for the Daytona collection.
Bracelet
The watch is fitted on the iconic Oyster bracelet with solid links and an Oysterlock safety clasp. The Easylink extension system allows for approximately 5mm of comfort adjustment—ideal for daily wear.
