Spanish term or phrase: Bandeja
Hello,

I'm translating some products and their descriptions for sale on a retail website from Spanish (Spain) into English (British) and am having trouble with the word above. It is used in the description of a clock. Please see below the word in context:

'La bandeja: 15cm (diámetro)'

Below is the link to the product:

https://www.amazon.es/dp/B06XFLTZVC

Would a translation of 'face' be suitable here? From the picture and my knowledge of the general meaning of 'bandeja', I would imagine that it is referring to the clock face.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Explanation:
I didn't realise there was a name for this but I have found numerous references to clock tray. It seems to be the working part of the clock. The clock face is usually bigger in diameter, from what I have seen. This is the part where the batteries go, on many wall clocks the tray can be quite small, and the actual numbers can be stickers.

Also, if you see in your example, the "bandeja" is quite small, the diameter is 15cm which is the size of the hour hands, whereas the clock face would encompass the minute and second hands, which are longer.

agree  Robert Carter: Yes, I also looked at the measurements first, I think you must be right.

  -> Thanks, Robert. It seems like a strange thing to call it in both languages, but that's what I found on all the online retail sites.

agree  Helena Chavarria: I didn't know they were called trays until today, though car batteries sit on trays so I suppose that could be a reason. Other batteries are put in compartments but what would you call the place that houses digital clock mechanisms? A box?

  -> Thanks, Helena, any idea why it's called a bandeja? Good point!
