As shown in FIG. 4, the inner circumference scale concealment portion 34 provided on the other end side moves along the inner circumference scale portion 26 while concealing a part of the inner circumference scale portion 26 of the function display section 21, When the outer periphery instructing portion 35 provided in the peripheral blind portion 34 indicates the scale of the outer peripheral scale portion 25, the time from 0:00 (24:00) to 11:00 can be accurately and easily known.

  At this time, since the inner circumference scale concealment portion 34 provided on the other end portion side of the sub needle 24 moves while hiding a part of the inner circumference scale portion 26, this also causes the function display portion 21 by the sub needle 24 to function. Misunderstanding of instructions can be prevented. Also in this case, the inner dial indicating part 31, the scale opening 30, and the outer scale hidden part 32 provided on one end side of the sub needle 24 are outside the display area 21 a of the function display unit 21. Since it is located on the lower side and hidden, even if the sub needle 24 is provided with the inner circumference instruction section 31 and the outer circumference instruction section 35, it is possible to reliably prevent misrecognition of instructions to the function display section 21 by the sub needle 24. Can do.

  Further, when the inner circumference instructing section 31 of the sub-needle 24 is in a state in which the scale of one end of the inner circumference scale section 26 of the function display section 21, for example, 23:00 is instructed, as shown in FIG. The part 35 is hidden under the upper dial plate 9 outside the display area 21 a of the function display part 21. In this state, when one hour elapses, the inner circumference instruction unit 31 moves to the lower side of the upper dial plate 9 outside the display area 21a of the function display unit 21 and is hidden. Appears in the wide opening 20 and indicates the scale of the other end of the outer peripheral scale 25 of the function display 21, for example, 24:00.

  For this reason, the instruction | indication of the inner periphery instruction | indication part 31 with respect to the function display part 21 and the instruction | indication of the outer periphery instruction | indication part 35 are switched reliably and smoothly in the continuous state. Thereby, even if the 24-hour display of the function display unit 21 is divided and displayed by the outer peripheral scale unit 25 and the inner peripheral scale unit 26, the inner peripheral instruction unit 31 and the outer peripheral instruction unit 35 of the sub needle 24 The 24-hour time display can be instructed smoothly and continuously without interruption.
