Popularly known now as the ‘Zenith' Daytona, it was the first self-winding Daytona reference Rolex turned to the Zenith El Primero Calibre 400 - widely considered the best self-winding chronograph movement available on the market at the time Rolex applied significant modifications to the movement in order to further improve reliability and reduce the required maintenance The relative scarcity of supplied Zenith El Primero movements, along with the amount of work required to enhance them to Rolex's specifications, resulted in limited availability of this series of Daytonas from the start This evolved movement went by the name calibre 4030 and became the forerunner to the first self-winding chronograph movement produced in-house by Rolex, calibre 4130
