Here's a full detail breakdown of the GA100WD-1A:

Design and Construction:

The dial has a multi-layered, three-dimensional effect. The analog hands (hour and minute) are black, while the hour markers are also black or dark, contrasting with the white dial background. It includes two digital sub-displays (often negative LCDs, meaning light digits on a dark background) and a speed indicator dial at the 12 o'clock position. The hands are luminous (Neobrite) for low-light visibility.
