This stunning Rolex Daytona is true conversation piece with its Powerhorse Zenith El Primero 400 movement renamed the Rolex Calibre 4030.
Rolex made many modifications to the El Primero movement. The most important are to reduce the balance oscillation from 36,000 beats per hour to 28,800, thus reducing the frequency from 5 Hz to 4 HZ, a Breguet balance spring was added. A Glucydur balance and Microstella fine adjustment.
This is a column wheel chronograph.
The case serial number is U926609 which dates the watch to 1997.
This Vintage Rolex Daytona Sports watch comes ready to wear on its Vintage Rolex Oyster Bracelet ref 78390.
