The steel crown with a brand log, whose textured surface is convenient for adjustment. Leaf-shaped hands go around four dials in different styles. Minute/second scales are set on the slant inner ring, and number scales every five minutes/seconds are convenient for readability. Day and date display at 3 O’clock.
