This Rolex Daytona 116500 Green Bezel is a factory variant of the steel ceramic Cosmograph: Rolex never fitted a green insert to the 116500LN, so the colour is the workshop’s own take on the reference. The standard 116500 uses a monochrome black Cerachrom insert, but this version swaps it for green, changing the visual profile of the entire watch. At 40mm in Oystersteel with a white dial and three green counters, the case proportions remain identical to every other modern Daytona. The green bezel does most of the differentiating, and the green subdials repeat it on the dial.

Technical Overview

• Case diameter: 40mm
• Case material: Oystersteel
• Bezel: green ceramic with tachymeter scale (factory variant)
• Crystal: sapphire flat profile
• Bracelet: Oyster three-link with folding clasp
• Movement: clone Cal. 4130 automatic chronograph (super clone); Japanese automatic (A-grade)
• Power reserve: 72 hours
• Water resistance: 100 m
• Dial: white with three green subdials and green counter rings

Rolex has used green strategically across its catalog. The Submariner “Hulk” and “Kermit” popularized green bezels, but on a Daytona the effect is different. The tachymeter numerals engraved into the green ceramic still need to be legible, and the white filling provides that contrast.

Inside the Movement

Underneath, the chronograph layout follows the same architecture as every 116500: running seconds at 6, minutes at 3, hours at 9. In the super clone, that layout is driven by a clone Cal. 4130 with a column wheel and vertical clutch, the same construction Rolex introduced in 2000, and it is rated for 72 hours of power reserve. The white dial ensures the green bezel remains the focal point, as a dark dial would compete for attention and dilute the color statement. For comparison, the two-tone 116523 uses gold to create contrast, while this green-bezel version relies purely on color. Both sit in the Daytona collection but appeal to very different buyers.

What Sets the Rolex Daytona 116500 Green Bezel Apart

Green-bezel Daytonas attract attention because Rolex has never catalogued this colour on a 116500LN, so the combination exists only as a factory variant. Most ceramic Daytona bezels are black, occasionally matched with gold. The green insert paired with a steel case and white dial creates a modern, sporty appearance that reads as playful rather than formal. It works particularly well in casual settings where a traditional black-bezel Daytona might fade into the background. This replica Daytona 116500 green makes the Cosmograph stand out through a single bold material choice.

Rolex Daytona 116500 Green Bezel Replica FAQ

Did Rolex ever make a Daytona 116500 with a green bezel?

No, Rolex sold the 116500LN from 2016 to 2023 only with a black Cerachrom bezel, on a white or a black dial. The green ceramic insert and green counters on this watch are a factory variant, so no matching Rolex catalogue number exists for it. Case, crown guards, pushers and Oyster bracelet follow the steel 116500LN.

What is the difference between the A-grade and super clone Rolex Daytona 116500 Green Bezel?

The movement and the price: the super clone costs $1,159 and runs a clone Cal. 4130 with 72 hours of power reserve, while the A-grade costs $379 and uses a Japanese automatic movement. Factories such as BT and Clean build the clone 4130, and our guide on how BT and Clean factories build the clone 4130 shows what to check on the pushers and subdial spacing. Both versions of this green Daytona copy share the green ceramic bezel, the white dial with green counters and the steel Oyster bracelet shown in the photos.
