Kevin Durant's Hard to Find Rolex Daytona
May 20, 2018Kevin Durant, NBA Superstar wearing Rolex Daytona 116500 |
Durant has chosen to sport a Daytona Reference 116500LN, which debuted in Baselworld 2016. The timepiece is in huge demand and has a massive waitlist to acquire one.
Rolex Daytona's are in high demand across the board. First introduced in 1963 to meet the demands of professional racecar drivers, the Daytonas of today are made today with a highly reliable chronograph and a bezel with a tachymetric scale which allows drivers to measure average speeds up to 400 miles per hour.

The scratch-resistant sapphire and the waterproofness system provides support of a depth of 330 feet. The black dial has highly legible Chromalight display and long-lasting blue luminescence on the hour markers and hands. The hour markers are surrounded in steel.
The caliber 4130 has a bidirectional self-winding perpetual rotor, providing a power reserve of up to 72 hours. The Daytona has an hour, minute and seconds hands, and a small seconds hand at 6 o'clock. The 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, and 12-hour counter at 9 o'clock, along with a stop seconds allow for precise time-setting and chronograph functions.
The Daytona has two pushers, one above and one below the winding crown, which are incredibly durable and accurate. The Daytona is an exquisite timepiece which is certainly not as flashy as some of the gold models worn by LeBron and other players. It is a precise and powerful tool that can take a beating and could last Durant's lifetime and long after.
