The Polar 216570 is the more-collected variant and carries the watch into most of the editorial coverage. The background is matte white, with applied indices framed by black surrounds that hold the Chromalight plot, black-lacquered Mercedes hands carrying matching black outlines on the white-gold body, and the same half-orange 24-hour hand against the white field. The printing layout is identical to the black dial. Against the white background, the half-orange hand reads strongly, and the dial as a whole is brighter and more legible than its 16570 predecessor.
