Because Rolex at that time wasn't able to master it themselves they introduced the watch with the Zenith Cal. 4030 automatic movement. It was an upgraded version of the original El Primero Cal. 400 with extensive modifications. All in all Rolex removed about 50% of the original parts from the movement and replaced them with their own. In line with the changes to the movement there were more firsts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16523 now had a sapphire crystal and a larger 40mm case. With all modifications the new Daytona became much more contemporary and wearable given its technical properties. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe example offered here is one of the earlier Zenith Daytonas produced in 1989 and is made in stainless steel and gold. It has the so-called 'Floating' dial. With floating is meant that there is a gap under the Chronometer text on the dial and the Cosmograph writing. The black dial with original lumes is signed 'T Swiss T' indicating the use of Tritium luminous on dial and hands which was changed to Luminova in 1997. Further the dial features a now iconic error – the inverted 6. Basically the sub dial at 6 o’clock has a 9 instead of the 6, a little detail that collectors appreciate and pay up for. The bracelet features the correct long and old-style clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16523 in two tone is a popular choice among the Zenith Daytona, it is especially attractive when it features the above details\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Momentum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52417920860469,"sku":"W.C.3.2.476","price":84500.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/9201\/files\/FRONT_2ffdbe64-8eee-4a96-8bf7-6a61dd9ffea6.webp?v=1773431786","url":"https:\/\/momentum-dubai.com\/products\/1989-rolex-daytona-st-g-floating-dial-inverted-6-ref-16523","provider":"Momentum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
