The black lacquered dial is classic Rolex: crisp, legible, and flawlessly executed. Chromalight-filled hour markers and Mercedes-style hands ensure excellent visibility in low-light conditions, while the blue GMT hand adds a dynamic pop of color that mirrors the bezel’s tone. The date display at 3 o’clock, magnified by the signature Cyclops lens, enhances everyday practicality without disrupting the dial’s symmetry.
