Patent ID: 7646678

Claim:
An analog watch, comprising: a dial; a light-shielding plate superposed and mounted on a rear side of the dial, the light-shielding plate having light-transmitting holes piercing it from a front to a rear thereof; a circuit board superposed and mounted directly on a rear side of the light-shielding plate; light-emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted on a front side of the circuit board and inserted in the light-transmitting holes; an analog movement superposed and mounted on a rear side of the circuit board; and a hand-moving shaft extending from the circuit board through the light-shielding plate to the dial, a leading end of the shaft being exposed on a front side of the dial, wherein the dial is formed so as to have an optical transmittance that allows digital display by the LEDs to be visually identified through the dial only when the LEDs are turned ON, and wherein light from the LEDs travels through the light-transmitting holes and impinges on the dial.
