Today we will be introducing luxury watch parts - dial variations - the Daytona Everose Gold model .

Luxury watch dials come in a wide variety of colors, materials, designs, and more for each model. They range from simple to those adorned with jewels, and there are probably many dials that you may not even know exist.

So, over several posts, we will be introducing the wide variety of dials available from Rolex's Submariner, GMT Master, Yacht-Master, Daytona, Datejust, and Day-Date, along with some of their most popular models, focusing on color, material, and design.

Following on from the last time, this is the sixth installment of our series and we would like to introduce the dials of the overwhelmingly popular " Daytona " model in 18KERG (Everose Gold). The first "Daytona" made of 18KERG (Everose Gold) was released in 2008, so it has only a history of just over 15 years, but we have a diverse lineup, so please enjoy it until the end.

This classic model features a rose gold sub-dial in the same color as the case. The Ref. 116505, released in 2008, had a matte texture, while the Ref. 126505, released as a new model in 2023, has the outer color of the sub-dial changed from black to rose gold, and the dial has been brushed up to a sunburst black. If you are looking for the elegant impression unique to 18KERG (Ever Rose Gold) and a bold look, why not choose this dial?

The ivory dial gives a soft impression, and the rose gold used for the outer circumference of the in-dial makes this watch's elegance its greatest appeal. Although it has been discontinued due to the announcement of a new model in 2023, it may be appreciated as a refreshing and unique dial .

➂ Chocolate Arabic Dial

This popular dial, with its chocolate-colored dial and bold Arabic numerals on the index, is affectionately known as "Chocoara (Chocolate Arabia)". The sub-dials are also chocolate-colored, and it was added to the Daytona lineup in 2011 with an alligator strap. It is also a historic dial that was in the lineup at the time of the birth of the Daytona, the early model of "Ref. 116515LN", which was equipped with a Cerachrom bezel. With the development of the Oysterflex in 2017, the strap was changed slightly, but was discontinued in 2019. It is a unique dial that is both elegant and casual.

This dial, which first appeared on the "Ref. 116505" in 2008, features a sunburst pink color similar to the 18KERG (Everose gold) and a black sub-dial. In 2017, Rolex's proprietary rubber strap, Oysterflex, was developed and added to the "Ref. 116515LN". Although it was discontinued in 2021, the beautiful rose color of the finish makes this dial a perennial favorite.

This dial was newly added in 2021 following the discontinuation of the pink and black dial. It has a beige-pink color called Sandust, and the contrast between the sunburst dial and the black sub-dial is very beautiful. Unlike the pink and black dial, the edges of the indexes are gold, giving it a more luxurious design. Although it has not been around for very long, this dial is likely to become a mainstay in the future.

This watch, which was added to the "Ref. 116505" lineup in 2014, has a gorgeous dial with 11 bucket-cut diamonds on the index. The sub-dial is the same color as the platinum "Daytona" ice blue dial "Ref. 116506A", giving it a special feel. Like the pink x black dial, it was added to the "Ref. 116515LNA" in 2017 with the development of Rolex's unique rubber strap, Oysterflex. It was discontinued in 2021 and is not often seen on the market, so it is one of the dials to look forward to in the future.

This was the first time it was used on the "Daytona" made of 18KERG (Everose gold), but it was discontinued in just over two years with the model change in 2023. Not only was it produced for a short period of time, but it is also a rare dial with extremely low circulation .
