- Case Construction and Ergonomics
- The timepiece is a stainless steel wristwatch with a cushion-shaped case measuring 42 x 42 mm. The configuration incorporates dual crowns: the crown at two o'clock is used for setting the time, date, and second time zone, while the crown at four o'clock is dedicated to setting the alarm. The source states the watch features a screw-down case back with a sapphire crystal viewing window. Note: The source text claims a 'screw-down' case back, but this description requires verification against the observed securing screws on the case back perimeter.
- Dial Configuration and Timekeeping
- The black dial features fluorescent Arabic and dash indices, with fluorescent baton hands. Central seconds are indicated alongside a silver-coloured hand designed for setting the alarm. The watch includes an aperture for a second time zone at the six o'clock position and a date display at the three o'clock position, accompanied by a magnifier.
