A single dial ran across the whole production. The face is matte black with applied indices surrounded by 18-karat gold edges, the "Maxi dial" framing introduced on the Submariner 16610LV "Kermit" in 2003 and standardised across the Rolex sport line in the late 2000s. The 116600's plots are enlarged relative to the 16600's and the surrounds are wider. The Mercedes hour hand is broader to match. | A single dial ran across the whole production.
