Moreover, for representing the even hours the indices are embossed with large Arabic numerals, whereas the odd hours are represented by small dots. Thus the dial is greatly synchronised with each of its minute features. Surrounding the hour indices are minute markers represented by small dots. And after every interval of five large gold dots have been adorned on the dial face which is slightly bevelled in shape. Additionally, the hour and seconds' hands enamelled with bright contrasting colour hues lend the dial all together a very captivating appeal.
