Two buttons are used: the one on the top right to display the date and seconds, and the one on the bottom right to set the time and date. This module was unique because it used a special type of illumination: tritium, which was illegal in Italy in the 1980s but widely used in the United States. Another special feature was the internal chip; in the last photo you can see how it was glued and electrically connected to the watch's PCB.
