"Afin d’élargir sa palette de produits adaptés aux exigences des sportifs, XYZ lance ce nouveau chronographe en titane avec grande date double guichet à 12 heures."
This is from a set of press releases about watches. I'm at a loss for what to put for "double guichet" and would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

double (-size) window
Not sure if this is a double-size window or two separate windows, but "window" is one way at least of rendering this, being the little hole where your analog-face tells you the date or the larger hole where it tells you the date AND the day, etc.
