For years, the
Rolex Daytona black dial has been the more sought-after version than the white
dial. However, things have seemingly changed for the new 116500ln Daytona
Ceramic.
Most Hongkongers preferred
to buy the black dial version of the 116520 as it is a safer choice than the
white dial version. However, is it really true?
A black dial
chronograph has an inborn weakness – its legibility. Any watch with sub-dials
is more legible in while dial than in black dial. The Daytona is no exception.
Although the black dial gives the Daytona a stronger character, it also looks
more dull and boring.
The while dial, on
the other hand, is not only more legible, it is also more classy. On the new
116500ln, the white dial seems to be a wiser choice as the dial color contrasts
very sharply with the ceramic bezel and the sub-dial rings. The black dial
version is not too bad as the silver sub-dial rings look very sharp. However,
with the black ceramic ring, there is not much contrast in colors. The whole
tone is too dark.
The choice for a
right dial for your Daytona can be even more of an issue if you are looking for
a yellow gold or rose gold Daytona. The 116505 rose gold Daytona matches the
ivory dial best as it provides an elegant look with great legibility.
If you
are looking for a yellow gold Daytona, make sure you do not miss this year’s
new release 116508 with a dark forest green dial. It will be surely a stunner
in the metal.
