The left section houses a square clock face with a red background, featuring white baton hour markers with double batons at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions. It is equipped with white hour and minute hands and a thin brass-toned second hand. The right section displays a white and red background featuring the Winston brand name printed in red serif lettering. Beside the text is a stylized silver and grey eagle logo with black motion lines. A small printed copyright notice above the vertical divider bar reads © R.J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO. A black printed Surgeon General’s warning label on the far right side reads: SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, And May Complicate Pregnancy.
