Dear English-speaking people,
While translating a wristwatch description into English, I've run into a funny problem.
The original text (in Czech language) says, that the watch case contains three years as items of print - the print literally shows "1918 - 1989 - 2019".
I cannot really write that the case contains three years. That just sounds wrong to me.
However I cannot find any suitable word or expression to write this in English. (The Czech language has one).
I appreciate all your help.
PS: I hope the thread title is not confusing!
