Mark 4 dial. See sources below(have fun reading through it).

https://watchbase.com/rolex/submariner


“Pictured is the Mark 1, distinguished from later versions by its broader 'Swiss Made' designation and, oval 'O' in 'Rolex', alignment of the 'R' in 'Oyster' right between the two feet of the 'Rolex' 'R' and the 'flat four' in 40 on the bezel.”

“Pictured is the Mark 2, distinguished from later versions by its broader 'Swiss Made' designation (spacing less wide than Mark 1) and, oval 'O' in 'Rolex', alignment of the 'R' in 'Oyster' right between the two feet of the 'Rolex' 'R' and the 'flat four' in 40 on the bezel.”

“Pictured is the Mark 3, distinguished from later versions by its broader 'Swiss Made' designation (spacing less wide than Mark 1) and, oval 'O' in 'Rolex', alignment of the 'R' in 'Oyster' right between the two feet of the 'Rolex' 'R' and the 'pointed four' in 40 on the bezel.”

“Pictured is the Mark 4, distinguished from other versions by the distinct shape and placement of the ´Swiss Made´ designation (5 minute markers cut), oval ´O´, ´R´ in oyster under the right feet of ´Rolex´ and ´pointed 4´ bezel.”

Dial font attributes:

It appears there is a correlation between dial font and layout depending on the 'set' used. By set I make reference to the following possible dial combinations ;

a) If the 'O' in the word 'Rolex' is oval (also referred to as 'squashed' or 'wide mouthed') then the positioning of the text 'Swiss Made' is only seen in either '5 tick' OR '3 tick' dials. If the dial is of a '5 tick' type then the 'R' in the word 'Oyster' will ALWAYS align with the gap between the left and right feet of the 'R' in the word 'Rolex'. If a '3 tick' dial type then the 'R' in the word 'Oyster' will ALWAYS locate under the right foot of the 'R' in the word 'Rolex'.

b) If the 'O' in the word 'Rolex' is of standard font (also referred to as 'normal' or 'round') then the positioning of the text 'Swiss Made' is only seen in either '3 tick' dial OR 'Between 28 and 32 minutes' dials. In both cases the 'R' in the word 'Oyster' will ALWAYS align with the end of the left foot of the 'R' in the word 'Rolex'
