The hands are of open-circle ‘Pomme’ style with a slender central sweep seconds hand. The dial is printed with the brand name SEIKO at the nine o’clock position and QUARTZ at the three o’clock position, with JAPAN visible at the lower edge. The reverse of the casing features controls for time and alarm setting, alongside a textured battery compartment cover marked CLOSE and OPEN with directional arrows.
