Rolex - Cosmograph Daytona - 16523 - Men - 1998

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 16523 “Zenith” Two-Tone – White Tritium Dial The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is one of the most significant generations of the iconic Daytona collection. Produced from the late 1980s through the 1990s, this two-tone model is known among collectors as the “Zenith Daytona”, referring to the Zenith-based chronograph movement extensively modified by Rolex.

Its “Zenith” nickname comes from the use of the Zenith El Primero as the base for the Rolex Calibre 4030. Rolex extensively modified the original Zenith movement, reducing its frequency from 36,000 to 28,800 vibrations per hour and adapting the movement to Rolex's technical standards. This generation therefore occupies a particularly interesting position between the manually wound Daytona models of the previous era and the later generation equipped with Rolex's fully in-house automatic chronograph movement.
