CR2032 battery is the power source for the UV illuminator
the Brown crescent shaped circuit is the switch and timer for the illuminator
Amber clear disk is an insulator isolating the 2 circuits
The battery for the Ronda movement can be easily changed and some of the gold plating on the movement can be seen
The case is thin from what you can see and but still has a screw in back that would help in not only being a cover but also a structural member. You can not see them but I had to clean the AR coating an the back of the crystal, just a hint do not use a cleaner that is not for anti reflective coatings.
The dial work is done well and 3 different processes the dial went through all were done precisely.
The circuits are welded together so I assume that the board is not serviceable and is to just be replaced when an open or a short occurs.
The white square on the end of the flexible ribbon is the UV illuminator.
