Bokey TimeIntroduction to ZF Factory’s Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Series 116599 RBOW Watch, the “Rainbow Daytona”:

ZF’s Pinnacle of Craftsmanship and Elegance: The Royalty of Rolex Daytonas – The Rainbow Bezel Daytona Series The essence of the Rainbow Daytona lies in its gradient-colored bezel gemstones. Natural gemstones inherently have imperfections, so the selected stones undergo optimization to achieve a pure, translucent, and rich texture. ZF Factory has meticulously selected and matched 36 gemstones from tens of thousands of candidates to create the most harmonious color gradient transition. The greatest challenge lies in the watch’s small-scale production: instead of needing just one set of gradient gemstones, at least dozens of sets are required to produce the corresponding number of timepieces, resulting in extremely limited availability. The dial’s hour markers feature square-cut rainbow gradient gemstones, while the three chronograph sub-dials utilize a technology called *”Gold Crystals”*. This creates a layered effect reminiscent of the widmanstätten-pattern nickel-iron meteorite. When the watch is晃动 (shaken), the irregular patterns on the Gold Crystals refract light differently, shimmering with changing brightness and exuding a deep, unique allure. Rainbows are nature’s precious gift to humanity. ZF’s commitment to exceptional quality has created a symphony of harmonious colors, redefining the Rainbow Daytona.
Bokey Review: Overall, ZF Factory’s Rainbow Daytona 116599 has no issues. Both the gradient of the bezel gemstones and the dial craftsmanship are executed meticulously. The case and bracelet are made of 904L stainless steel, with dimensions and thickness matching the original. The movement is the Shanghai 4130 caliber, which is of reliable quality. What surprises Bokey this time is its price—under 4,000 RMB. In the past, modifying this style would cost at least around 10,000 RMB, making this extremely cost-effective!
