Notes
Part of the early series of the 16528 launched in 1988, the early Mark II
dials can be recognised by the absence of the words “officially certified”
which transforms the dial into a four-line. The bezel is also extremely rare
as the engraving “Units per Hour” is located at 3 o clock and the bezel
is calibrated to 200 unlike the later versions. Maintained in excellent
condition with the caseback still in place (worn), crisp hallmarks and
diamond indexes, these are amongst the most collectible versions of
early automatic Daytonas.
