The Rolex 4130 calibre (I assume this is the current Daytona movement?) apparently has 290 parts. Not a clue who long it takes to make one, and the time spent actually working on one as opposed to the actual elapsed time will be very different I would imagine. It's not like one watchmaker works constantly on one watch from start to finish : a part made watch will have periods of down-time during the construction process as it moves through the build process. |

Hi Thank you so much for the answer thats the problem why I could'nt find out because their is so many processes its would be hard to work it out. But thank you for the parts info.

290 isn't actually all that many for a chronograph. The Zenith El Primero for example has around 330 parts (depending on the variant), and the Breitling B01 has 346. Obviously the Daytona doesn't have a date complication, but even so, I'd be surprised if that accounted for almost 60 components. |
