Twelve rods suspending the movement in the center of the case also serve as hour indicators, coated in Super Luminova to give an after-dark glow.
The U.S. market, for example, and particularly the market there for ladies watches, is friendly to dials featuring diamond hour indicators.

Among many other things I like about this Breguet watch are the applied hour indicators.
The Special Edition however, is an all black case, with black face and shades of grey for the hour indicators.
Meaning you can have a more traditional flat black dial with hour indicators, or one that is totally open with a view into the movement.
