Reference 116523 brings together the Daytona's enduring round 40mm case and Oyster bracelet in stainless steel, transformed by an aftermarket PVD/DLC coating applied to both the case and band. That coating — disclosed here as non-factory — lends the watch a uniform dark tone while adding a layer of scratch resistance over the underlying steel. The screw-down crown and Oysterlock clasp remain in place, along with 100 meters of water resistance.
The black analog dial is fitted with index markers and silver-tone hands, with red second markers providing a point of contrast on the chronograph registers. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal sits above the dial, and the tachymeter engraved bezel frames the face in the manner the Daytona has carried since its motorsport origins. Functions cover hours, minutes, seconds, and chronometer timing.
Power comes from an automatic movement, and the watch is presented in new condition with its original box and papers included. A one-year mechanical warranty accompanies the piece. Swiss Made designation appears on the dial, and the watch carries a male sizing profile suited to the 40mm case diameter.
