These designs are designed for pilots to better read the time when operating the aircraft. The signs are coated with luminous paint. There are three sub-discs on the dial, all decorated with a record pattern effect, the 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock, the 12-hour counter at 9 o'clock, and the week calendar display window at 3 o'clock. The panel follows the instrument design of the series, while also presenting a highly harmonious tactical style.
