Today, I would like to share a hot item- the “ice blue” Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona, often called the Rolex “ice blue di.” The first-generation Di Cosmograph Toner was launched in 1963, and this year marks the 60th anniversary of the series. On this anniversary, Rolex has comprehensively upgraded the new Daytona, optimizing its details and adopting the back through the bottom of the watch for the first time, equipped with a new generation of 4131 perpetual movements. Many players have mixed opinions and heated discussions regarding the various design updates. Regardless of other things, what are the highlights of the new work? How about the specific design? Let’s make a brief analysis today; please look down together: (Watch model: 126506)
This “Ice Landi” is the most sought-after “role” in the Rolex Daytona series. From the appearance point of view, the new watch continues Daytona’s classic element design: tachymeter outer ring, screw-in timing button, shoulder pads, etc., and further optimizes the overall details based on these professional sports elements:
One-piece chestnut brown ceramic bezel
First of all, look at the front of the watch. The new watch has a one-piece ceramic outer ring and ceramic bezel developed by Rolex. The bezel is made of particular chemical substances, which are corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant, and not easily affected by the environment. and other advantages. The outside of the bezel is designed with 950 platinum trim, which perfectly “wraps” the ceramic bezel. This edging design can not only prevent the ceramic bezel from being damaged by external forces but also visually give a sense of refinement. The edging material of Ice Landi is also made of 950 platinum, which is highly luxurious. This year’s models equipped with Cerachrom ceramic bezels have adopted this design, and the border material is consistent with the fabric of the case. Replica watches noob.
40 mm diameter
The crown shoulder guard has also been optimized and adjusted to integrate.
Secondly, the new watch has a 950 platinum case with a diameter of 40 mm. Under the polishing process, it is refined and delicate, and it feels perfect to play with. Looking at the side, we can find that the new case is thinner than the previous one. The thickness of the new-generation Daytona is 11.9 mm, which is 0.5 mm more delicate than the previous model, and it feels more comfortable to use. On the other side of the case, besides the optimized and adjusted crown shoulder guard, the chronograph button continues Daytona’s excellent design genes. It adopts a screw-in design to protect the chronograph components from bumps.
The new “Bing Landi” has also made corresponding improvements on the dial: the timing circles of the three chronograph dials have been reduced, the time scales have been adjusted, and a Rolex exclusive “small crown” has been added at 6 o’clock. This means that its built-in movement is updated. By rectifying these details, the overall style of the disk is more modern, with a touch of neatness compared to the previous version.
The strap is paired with Rolex’s very classic Oyster strap. The three-grid links and polished and brushed alternately are solid, reliable, and highly recognizable. The belt has a folding oyster safety buckle to protect the watch. In addition, it is also equipped with the easy-to-adjust link extension system developed by Rolex. The wearer can extend the strap by about 5mm according to his needs, which is very convenient. Fake Rolex watches.
Côtes de Genève stripes adorn the upper plywood
The new generation of Daytona adopts the transparent back design for the first time. The bottom cover comprises 950 platinum and anti-reflective blue crystal material in the center. Many players will worry whether the waterproof effect will weaken if the bottom is transparent. Don’t worry, in Oyster Protected by a full-style case and three-button locking crown, the watch is water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters (330 feet).
We can appreciate Rolex’s new 4131 movements through the bottom cover. This movement has an optimized layout structure and uses Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement system, which can resist high-intensity magnetic field interference. The automatic rotor is also equipped with “improved Ball bearings” through the constant motion automated winding system, which provides a 72-hour power reserve for the movement when the chain is complete. In addition, the action is also equipped with a blue Parachrom hairspring and a high-performance Paraflex cushioning device, which significantly improves the watch’s performance.
Finally, we can see that the new generation of Daytona has made further adjustments and comprehensive upgrades in terms of appearance details and built-in movements. Although many players doubt its transparent bottom and direction polishing, “a thousand ‘cousin friends’ have a thousand Hamlets,” presumably all influential players have already decided whether this watch is worth buying. Only a little to say; interested and capable players may wish to try it.
