Perhaps the classic "anniversary" dial is the vertical decliner by Christopher Daniel at Chatham, Kent. It is known as the Nelson dial and it has a small circular spot in the dialface in the form of the Union Flag. This commemorates not just the date, but also the time when Admiral Nelson was mortally wounded on his flagship HMS Victory during the Battle of Trafalgar.
