Reference:116500LN: Difference between revisions

Line 79:

The case shape matters more here than the spec sheet suggests. The 116500LN kept the older steel-case asymmetry, with slimmer, pointier lugs on one side to balance the visual weight of the crown, guards, and screw-down pushers. The 126500LN moved the steel model onto the broader, more symmetrical lug profile used across the refreshed Daytona line, and added a metal frame around the Cerachrom bezel while leaving the ceramic piece itself monobloc. The 116500LN is therefore the last steel Daytona with narrow lugs and an unframed ceramic bezel.

The precious-metal siblings on the same case generation are the two-tone Rolesor 116503, the yellow gold 116508, and the white gold 116509, ~~with ceramic-bezel variants phased in over time~~. The 116500LN is the steel entry point to that family, the reference that brought Cerachrom to the lowest retail rung of the Daytona line.

The precious-metal siblings on the same case generation are the two-tone Rolesor 116503, the yellow gold 116508, and the white gold 116509, all three keeping engraved gold bezels while the parallel LN references carried Cerachrom. The 116500LN is the steel entry point to that family, the reference that brought Cerachrom to the lowest retail rung of the Daytona line.
