White dial, gold rims
Here the dial and the counters are the same white, and the gold-tone rims around them draw three neat circles. Photo 02 shows the red DAYTONA script and the gold baton markers up close. Next to the black 116503 this one looks lighter and more formal. The newer generation with the same colours is the 126503-0001 white.
