Original movement is the Rolex Caliber 4030 which is actually a Rolex modified Zenith El Primero base caliber. If one ever needed proof that Rolex is a perfectionist, they need look no further than Rolex's selection of and modifications to the El Primero. The Zenith El Primero was, and is, recognized as being the best large series production automatic winding chronograph caliber made. Rolex used the El Primero in their Daytona watches, but not before doing extensive upgrades and refinements. The movement is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer.
Original dial is black with applied luminous hour markers and hands, red "Daytona", 30 minute and 12 hour chronograph totalizer subdials, and the aforementioned chronograph subdial chapter rings which are just getting started with their darkening.
