Daytona 116570 replica

Rolex is a “conservative” brand of famous watches, and when titanium cases have become popular in famous watches, Rolex used titanium cases for the “Titanium Ghost King 126067” and “Titanium Yacht 226627” in 2022 and 2023 respectively. At a time when ceramic cases were no longer common on watches, Rolex still did not use ceramic cases but let TUDOR use them early (as early as the 2013 Swift Rider series).

Black Bay ceramic, with a ceramic case, measures 41 mm and is 14.4 mm thick. This size is the same as the Rolex Water Ghost 126610, but the Tudor Black Bay ceramic is thicker. The black ceramic case has a sandblasted matte finish on the sides and front lugs but is polished on one edge of the case. The black ceramic bezel features sunburst brushing. While the ceramic bezel of other famous watches is mostly polished or matte, the bezel treatment of TUDOR Black Bay Ceramics is very rare.

It should be noted here that the case and bezel are ceramic, but the black crown, case back, and clasp are all stainless steel with a black PVD coating. It is 200 meters water-resistant, showing that this watch is designed for diving. As for why Rolex has been slow to use ceramic cases, it’s worth noting that Rolex values durability so much that the ceramic bezel of the new Daytona 126500 is edged with metal to prevent damage to the ceramic, which can’t be fixed. On the other hand, the Tudor Black Bay ceramic, with its scratch-resistant ceramic case, has stayed in great condition even after many years of use, which is something that Rolex hasn’t managed.
