There is an outer 1/5 seconds white chronograph scale around the perimeter. It has three recessed "pie tin" shaped black subsidiary dials with concentric circle guilloche centers, luminous white Arabic numerals, markers, and steel indicator hands, including a small running constant seconds register at 9 o'clock, a 12-hour chronograph totalizer at 6 o'clock, and there is a 30-minute chronograph counter at the 3 o'clock position.
