The Dial

A stunning round dial sits gracefully within the case, breathing fresh life into the watch with its blue hue while effortlessly enhancing its timeless charm. It features delicately brushed lines that enliven its semi-matte surface, where silver-toned hour markers are arranged for a striking wrist presence and crisp, easy timekeeping. At the center, a slender seconds hand leads the sweep, followed by two Dauphine hands that indicate hours, minutes, and seconds with exceptional precision. All three hands are finished in gray and point to twelve applied baton-style indexes, making it effortless to read the time at a glance. These are complemented by fine white lines forming a minute track. The outer ring, separated from the center by a white circle, is enhanced with a 12-hour scale marked with minute graduations in Arabic numerals at 10, 30, and 50 and in white tick marks. This scale is indicated by a fourth arrow-tipped hand dedicated to the watch's signature alarm complication. The dial is signed with the brand name just below 12 o'clock, the word "Cricket" as its hallmark, and the "Swiss Made" label near 6 o'clock - a true mark of authenticity.
