Positioned at the rear side of the glass framing (21) are dials (27, 27′), and a time-of-day indicating area (27a) which is round to the view when viewed flat is provided to the dial (27). A round opening (27a′) corresponding to the time-of-day indicating area (27a) is formed to the dial (27′) adhered on the dial 27, and four sub-indicating areas (27b′, 27c′, 27d′) which are round to the view when viewed flat are formed on the surface of the dial (27′). The time-of-day indicating area and sub-indicating areas are arranged so as to be separately viewed by the respective display window members.
