Power reserve indicator
Well Melvin, I really think that a power reserve indicator is much more useful with an automatic watch. Because you don't wind it. Because all automatic calibers don't have the same efficiency in winding. You may think that the watch is running properly but because you are low in the power reserve, you can get a bad accuracy.
With a handwind caliber, when you have the discipline, you wind it every morning. So you know that you start the day with a full power reserve.Two exceptions:
I think that the power reserve indicator is useful with the large power reserves (e.g 8 days) and for the foolish people.
Thanks a lot for your feelings about the Excenter Timezone.

The Ocean Dual Time: depth and originality !
The Ocean Dual Time belongs to the Harry Winston tradition of travel watches. This tradition has started with the Premier Excenter Timezone I presented here a few weeks ago. This Excenter has a second timezone display through a retrograde hand and an hand...
re: Ocean Dual Time...
I really like the layout of the dial, thanks for the wrist shots! The HW logo rotor is a nice touch as well. How did it feel on the wrist as far as comfort? -MW
It is a comfortable watch....
...when you have a large wrist. Thanks to the strap and the lugs, the watch is well put in place. If you have a small wrist, things become more difficult. Fr.Xavier
My kind of stuff...
A friendly complication dispalyed in a modern and, most of all, original way. Any chance to try it in France? The trigger to use the timezone function is well thought, too. It looks like a minute repeater! Best, Nicolas.
I like the Ocean Dual Time much more than the Excenter.
For me the Ocean Dual Time has a much cooler, younger-skewing case. The Excenter does have that gorgeous slate blue dial, but the dial layout on the Ocean Dual Time is much more dynamic IMO. I have to say thanks to you for presenting these pictures to us....
Thanks Daos for your comments.
And happy birthday ! Fr.Xavier This message has been edited by foversta on 2010-06-29 12:28:30
I'm a little biased.......
foversta, Thanks for the review. Th current Mrs MTF was presented with an Excenter Dual Time, that I 'borrow' occasionally The Excenter is very easy to use. The only criticism may be that the shiny surfaces o the "HW arches" are 'scratch-magnets' and the ...

Oopah....if you have many watches
foversta, Ahhh....yes; the reserve de marche indicator is for stupid people (or those with many hand wind watches). If you have one hand-wind watch, you know when it was last wound but not if you have many such watches. Then, you need a reminder, no? The ...
Nice watch, I cannot help but to think a solid caseback is in order for this watch
Never thought I would say that but when you see the back it is.. I dont know, not as stunning as the front. Seems small, I do like the watch and it is way nicer than anything I have, my 2 cents
The HW Ocean Dual Time
Nice review of the Ocean Dual Time. I prefer this over the Exeter because the Ocean Dual Time has such a nice dial layout and I love the depth and 3D effect and placement of the time zone indicators. The off-centered display back seems a little odd, but I...
awesome
i made a thread about this watch too i really love it maybe the best Ocean ever IMHO Jek
Superb timepiece.
I love HW creations. Very innovative and fresh. This is no exception. Beautiful dial, I love the way it shows the information and the choosen colors. A HQ product. Thanks for sharing, FX. It looks great on your wrist. Vte PS: Cool "Shuriken" seconds indic...
I've liked the Z series (same case as the Ocean line?) since the first Z-1
and really respect how they've managed to evolve the aesthetic with each new variant or combination. Most other brands, the design would sink under the weight of the design and not been able to rise above "tuna can" but somehow, each new Ocean (and Z) mod...
Thanks Thomas.
I agree with your comparison with the Offshore: With the Ocean & Z collection, HW offers a wide range of complications with a similar case. Fr.Xavier
