The common 18208 is champagne or silvered with applied baton or stick markers, the dressiest face in the generation and the natural match for a plain bezel. Beyond that the reference takes the era-appropriate range of cal-3155 Day-Date dials: Roman-numeral, mother-of-pearl, diamond-index, hardstone such as onyx and lapis, and the occasional Arabic-script dial for the Gulf market. The lacquered Stella colours that turn up on the smooth 4-digit and early 5-digit Presidents belong to the 1970s and do not appear on a true 18208, so a Stella-dial example at this reference would be anomalous. The deep dial taxonomy that spans the President line sits on the [[Reference:1803|1803]] entry.
