General Description:
G dials are most notable for the large applied “wedge”, “ramp”, or “door-stopper” shaped hour markers that have either a white or black stripe. The dials have applied metal logos and a closed date window and the overall look is very clean due to the lack of 5 minute numerals painted inside the hour indices. Blue and silver dials are found in steel cases and gold and brown are found in gold-plated cases.
