The White-Gold Daytona That Behaves on a Smaller Wrist

A 40mm Daytona in white gold whose black dial and Oysterflex strap keep it contained on wrists that usually fight a chronograph.

The White-Gold Daytona That Behaves on a Smaller Wrist

Forty millimeters scares people with narrower wrists, and it shouldn't here. This 116519L reads smaller than its case says. The black diamond dial and black ceramic bezel pull the eye inward, so the watch stops at the edge of a 6.5-inch wrist instead of hanging over it. Dark faces do that. Bright ones don't.

White gold gives it weight, and that weight is the point. It sits down and stays put rather than sliding, which is what makes a lighter wrist feel like it's wearing a real watch and not a toy.

The Oysterflex is the quiet hero for smaller wrists. It tapers and follows the bone instead of bridging across it the way a rigid bracelet can, so there's no gap under the case. It backs down to a jacket sleeve just as easily.

Pre-owned, authenticated and serviced in-house, backed by our store warranty. MWDW10005.
