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.
