Ceramic Daytona FAQ
What is a ceramic Daytona?
It’s a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona fitted with a
Cerachrom bezel—a one‑piece zirconium‑oxide ceramic ring that is virtually scratch‑proof, UV‑stable and inlaid with platinum or gold numerals. Mechanically it remains a steel, gold or platinum Daytona; the ceramic bezel simply adds durability and a modern aesthetic.
What year did the ceramic Daytona come out?
Rolex first released a production ceramic‑bezel Daytona in
2013 with the platinum ref. 116506. The high‑volume steel models—the 116500LN “Panda” and black‑dial versions—followed in
2016, bringing Cerachrom to the mainstream.
Does Rolex make a ceramic watch?
Rolex doesn’t produce an all‑ceramic case, but it widely uses
Cerachrom ceramic bezels on the Daytona, Submariner, GMT‑Master II, Yacht‑Master and Deepsea lines, giving those watches outstanding resistance to scratches and fading.
