Basel world
2012 has seen several fascinating travel watches emerge. The now famous Rolex
Sky-Dweller with annual calendar and the clever Chapter Three disclose from
Maîtres du Temps. But for those who want amazing a bit more down to Earth (no
pun intended since Breitling makes “pilot’s” watches), the Breitling Transocean
Unitize looks like a good option.
The slightly
vintage styled Unitime has a simple world time device. The dial has one disc
with 24 cities for the 24 time zones, and another inner disc with 24 hours to show
the second time zone. Because there are two discs, the time in any time zone on
the cities disc can be examine off the 24 hour disc.
When the
crown is pulled out and twisted, the cities disc, 24 hour disc and the hour
hand all turn in sync, together with the date. All of that can be sophisticated
forward or backward.
In adding
the cities disc allows for Daylight Savings Time in summer as well, with the
red projectile next to the city name.
