These dials are known for their bold, vibrant colors along with a high-gloss enamel finish that gives them a distinctive look. What makes the Stella Dials particularly collectible is their rarity and uniqueness, as they were produced in limited numbers and initially aimed at specific markets, such as the Middle East and Asia. Although not widely popular at the time, the retro appeal and scarcity of these colorful dials have made them highly desirable among modern collectors.
