Abstract
A unified digital time display is presented in an expanded display field and configured for compatibility with prior balanced, quadribalanced, enhanced quadribalanced or unidirectional segmented displays by positioning hour display elements generally in the center of the field, minute display elements in a space beside the right flank of the hour elements, seconds display elements below the hour elements, with markers in a space beside the left flank of the hour elements which are visually different and distinguishable from markers included in the prior displays. These time elements are preferably activated to display solely elapsed time in a timepiece which also includes, preferably, balanced, quadribalanced, enhanced quadribalanced and unidirectional segmented time displays, and enables alternately switching between the three types of displays, with each preceded by a respective ER, ES and EU prompt to identify the type of time display that is provided in a preferred order of presentation represented by such prompts.
