Three sub-dials for seconds, minutes and hours. The luminous pencil hands have acquainted an attractive greenish/yellow colour.
The stainless steel case shows to be in unpolished condition with some minor signs of wear in the form of light scratches (see pictures).
Case back shows is showing some scratches near the notches due to unprofessional opening of the case, nothing unusual but worth mentioning.
