No electronics, no battery, entirely mechanical. A pusher at 6 o\u2019clock serves to provide light on demand thanks to a gear train driven by the double barrel. By means of an original miniature dynamo, this gear train supplies the energy necessary to light up the face of the watch without affecting its operation and the energy necessary for the smooth running of its movement.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5956\" src=\"https:\/\/dontplayplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image005-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1320\" height=\"1056\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The DB28 GS &#8216;JPS&#8217; is black and gold, even in the dark.
