Double-sunk dials are considered to be the highest quality dials and were furnished on most of the higher grade American watches. This is a dial whose entire center section has been ground (cut) out and replaced by a thinner, enameled disk that creates a lower level when soldered into place. This assembly then has an appropriate hole ground (cut) out for an even thinner seconds bit (dial) that is also soldered in place at a second, lower level. The edges, joints, where the parts (different levels) come together are sharp and well-defined. It can be readily seen that the dial is made of three different pieces.
