This enemal dial has so called arabic Breguet numerals, in this layout used since after the french revolution,the minute marker are stars and the so called little men on the 5 min. markers are stylised lily flowers(refering to the french court).This can be found on the Breguet site.
The tachymeter is in the form of a snail shell so it can time low speeds, one passes kilometer 0 and launch the chrono, once you hit the 1km marker you stop:if the chrono measures 1 min. and 43 seconds, you are travelling at 35 km/h.
Mondern tachys start at 60 as they are mostly placed on the bezel .

I saw this watch in another thread and wondered about the dial and the red scale.
