MAXI III DIAL
The Maxi III Dial is a favorite among many 5513 collectors because its large tritium hour plots appear to touch the five minute hash marks underneath, giving it the nickname “lollipop”.
The dial is commonly seen in cases stamped in the 5 to 6 mil range and was likely introduced around 1978.
There are several features of the Maxi III Dial that are distinct from the Maxi II, IV, and V Dials. These features include:
the large tritium hour plots that often appear to touch the 5 minute hash marks
the large “open 6’s”, the unique serif on the “f” in the depth rating
the fact that the two “0’s” in the “200m” depth rating line up directly underneath the “N and E” in “SUBMARINER”
Helpful Hints to recognize the Maxi III Dial: If “SUBMARINER” is printed above and is shorter in length than the depth rating below it, there is serif on the “f” in the depth rating, and the two zero’s in the depth rating line up directly under the ‘‘N” and “E” in “SUBMARINER”, then it is a Maxi III Dial.
I intentionally did not include the fact that the tritium appears to touch the five minute hash marks because this is not always the case. If you look closely at a macro shot of a Maxi III dial or under a loupe, and you will see that the hour plots do not always touch the larger minute markers beneath them. Furthermore, it has been my observation that the printing of the text on the dial is much more precise in its application than the application of the tritium.
