The movement is of a high grade, being a column wheel chronograph.Please see the images as these compliment and aid the description provided below.Dial:The dial is enamel. It has a minutes track round the outside with markers for up to 60 seconds around the outside for the chronograph hand. The hours are marked by Roman numerals.
