Rolex\u2019s first dive watch, the Submariner, offered a higher depth rating than any other timepiece in the Rolex collection and was equipped with a rotatable bezel, which was still a relatively new concept at the time.\u00a0 Over the next several decades, Rolex increased the Submariner\u2019s depth rating to 300 meters\/1,000 feet and updated the bezel to offer a unidirectional design.\u00a0 Those changes, albeit integral to the evolution of the brand\u2019s diver, were just the tip of the iceberg.\u00a0 While many variations of the Submariner have since been released, the classic stainless steel and black dial and bezel option remains the most sought-after by collectors.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, Rolex released one of the newest variations of the Stainless steel Submariner via ref. 116610.\u00a0 While a stainless steel dateless 6-digit Sub followed a few years later, the ref. 116610 remains the more sought-after choice among collectors as it replaces the long-produced ref. 16610.\u00a0 Its case is noticeably more modern, offering broader lugs as well as the addition of a maxi dial and a Cerachrom bezel. A Cerachrom bezel is the patented name for this new style of bezel. These bezels are made to resist corrosion as well as fading. The bracelet has also been updated to offer a sleeker clasp that blends into the rest of the links on the bracelet more effortlessly.\u00a0 Tough yet easy to wear and very iconic, the ref. 116610 is a must-have for any collection.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22402\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22402\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/5D3_9439-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/5D3_9439-3.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Daytona reference 116500\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/5D3_9439-3.jpg 5760w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/5D3_9439-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/5D3_9439-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/5D3_9439-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/5D3_9439-3-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22402\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Rolex Daytona reference 116500 is one of the most highly sough-after watches on the market today<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The Daytona 116500<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What draws so many eyes to the Daytona is its incredible history and sporty style.\u00a0 Rolex\u2019s first chronograph came to market in the mid-1950\u2019s, but it wasn\u2019t until shortly after Rolex became the official sponsor of the Daytona Speedway that the name \u201cDaytona\u201d started to appear on the dial.\u00a0 They Rolex Daytona comes with a unique feature on the marked bezel to help those involved in the racing community.\u00a0 Stainless steel references are among the most desirable variations of the Daytona with the newest ref. 116500 currently taking the market by storm.<\/p>\n<p>These Daytona watches are in high demand that Authorized Dealers need to place their customers on the waitlist lasting up to two years. This Daytona is crafted with a 904L Oystersteel finish, the reference 116500 also boasts the line\u2019s first Cerachrom bezel insert, which is celebrated for its toughness and rich hue with the option for a black or white dial.
