Dial:
The round dial features a real starburst designed effect.  It has a champagne colored background.

The dial is marked Lucerne and 17 Jewels below the 12 o'clock position and Automatic, Water Protected, Incabloc and Antimagnetic above the 6 o'clock position.  All lettering is in black except the Automatic and Incabloc which is in red.

There are raised gold tone Arabic numeral at the 12, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 o'clock positions, and raised gold tone sleek arrow-point shaped hour markers at the 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11o'clock positions.  Also, there is a 60 seconds/minutes circular scale centrally placed and it has luminous coated dots at the 12 hour marker positions and gold tone dots at the remaining 60 seconds/minutes positions.

The dauphine-style and minutes hands are a gold tone in color with a luminous coating running through their middles.  And the straight sweeping seconds hand is a gold tone color as well and has a circular area that runs across the 60 seconds/minutes scale.

The crystal has a slight curvature surface and is curved around the edges and is raised 3MM above the surface of the case.
