The SAGA:
Maxi dials are so named due to the generous portion of luminous material acting as the hour markers. Another charming characteristic of the Mk IV is the zorro-like zigzag “S” in submariner. This can also be found on the Mk I Maxi, but in that instance “submariner” is underneath the depth rating.
