The slightly darkened dial has a vertical stripe structure and is inscribed with the calibre designation 40T in avant-garde script above the seconds sub-register. Calibre 40T is relatively small, but thanks to its simple but extremely efficient construction, it offers a high level of quality and precision and is as convincing today as it was when it was introduced in the 1950s.
