My New Favorite Dual Timezone Watch

This is my new favorite in my collection! I don't typically time things, so tracking a second timezone for me is actually useful in my day to day operations.

I'm also probably in the minority with the new ceramic models that have come out, they just don't seem as clean as this guy to me..

So for the second timezone which you use the stop watch function to perform, you have to wait until it is 12:00 in the second timezone to commence that function......But I suppose once you have done it, then you don't need to revisit it unless your watch stops...
The second time zone will not give you AM or PM so that is another drawback.

Right. The lack of AM/PM is fine to me though, in my line of business I work with UTC so this extra function is perfect for me

Hmm, never thought of using the chrono that way! Then again, I don't know any other time zone I want to track. I currently use my chrono as a super awesome silver arrow seconds hand.

I'm still beaming for my 116520... No need for an update for my wrist until it's Platona time!!!

Love mine!



Maybe after the craze dies down, I'll had a black daytona-c to partner with the SS white.

I had a black dial briefly, the honeymoon was short lived. This one I love!

I'm considering one. Only a matter of time before the itch gets the best of me.
