A watch face, also known as a dial, is the part of the watch that displays the time and other relevant information. There are several synonyms for watch face, including clock face, timepiece face, wristwatch face, and time-display. Other possible options include time display window, timekeeping surface, dial plate, and chronometer face. Some watch manufacturers use their own terms, such as Seiko's "watch dial" or Omega's "dial plate assembly." Regardless of the terminology used, the watch face is an essential component of any timepiece and is often designed to be both functional and visually appealing, incorporating a range of styles, colors, and materials.
