Calendar indications appear via dual horizontal apertures showing the day ('LUNDI') and month ('AOUT') in red lettering, while an outer circular chapter ring numbered 1 to 31 in red is indicated by an arrow-tipped pointer hand. At 6 o'clock, a subsidiary register combines running small seconds with a moon phase aperture featuring an anthropomorphic moon disc.
