16520 - The “middle of the road” Daytona
Not quite vintage, and not modern. The last of the Zenith Daytonas. And with the polished center links, it fairs well as a slightly more dressy sports watch (if that’s possible).
Lots of owners here, of both dial variations. And many of us wishing we had both ! 😂
Its a great watch.
I wouldn't call it "the last of the Zenith Daytonas" as its the ONLY Daytona with a zenith-based movement.
Its has a great old school feel, maybe "non feel" on the wrist.
Here's one of mine (I have both SS colors, few ..), even with the stickers that I have a weird habit of keeping...
Oh yes! My favorite Daytona, all generations included. Call me crazy, but I will never trade my 16520 for a vintage Daytona Paul Newman. ;)
Oh painful to see as I just let mine go! It has been replaced by a magnificent piece however...maybe you'd all like to see?
5 dial variations (in terms of wording/printing variations and lume) and 3 bezel variations. Is that right?
Excluding patrizzi, porcelain which are I guess other variants.
Yes and they are
Dial
Floating cosmograph
Four lines
Inverted 9
Then normal 6
Finally luminova
Bezel
50 unit
225 unit
Then the standard
Rarest combo after the porcelain floating cosmograph in a non diamond version is the black dial four lined 50 units bezel!
