Blue and black are the standard dial colors documented for the 16803. The blue dial has a sunburst finish; both colors appear with gold-colored applied markers and hands. Early dials can have raised nipple markers. Later examples use flatter markers with luminous centers. These are production differences, not a basis by themselves for dating an individual watch. | Blue and black are the standard dial colors documented for the 16803.

Secondary reference guides describe champagne and slate Serti dials with diamond and sapphire markers in this generation. Those guides do not establish the production span or population of each option, so the dial on a specific watch must be verified directly. | |||
Tritium is the period luminous material. A dial or hand replacement can change the material on an individual watch, so inspect the actual components rather than inferring originality from the reference alone. | Tritium is the period luminous material.
