The most distinctive feature of the Daytona "Panda" is its contrasting dial. The white dial with black sub-dials inspired the nickname "Panda" as this color combination resembles a panda bear’s face.

The dial design emphasizes excellent readability and lends the watch a sporty elegance.
The 40mm case of the Daytona is made of 904L stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and brilliant luster. The bezel is crafted from black Cerachrom ceramic, which is not only extremely scratch-resistant but also a hallmark of modern Rolex watches. This bezel features a tachymeter scale used for measuring speeds, a function especially appreciated by racing drivers.
The Daytona 116500LN is powered by the Caliber 4130, an automatic chronograph movement developed and manufactured by Rolex. Known for its reliability and precision, this movement offers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. It includes a Parachrom hairspring that is resistant to magnetic fields and shocks, ensuring high accuracy even under extreme conditions.
The Daytona’s bracelet is also made of 904L stainless steel and follows the classic Oyster design. It offers high comfort and is equipped with an Oysterlock safety clasp to prevent accidental opening. Additionally, the bracelet features the Easylink extension system, allowing easy adjustment of the bracelet length by about 5mm to ensure optimal comfort in various conditions.
