Oris Worldtimer
Hello, look, I don´t know your budget, if you are wealthy, you may want a very high end watch like PP, AP or JLC, but for 2000 usd you may buy a ORIS Worldtimer, which had exactly what you are looking for. You can leave the time of you hometown and also you can see if it´s night or day on you hometown. And the other hand you can reset them inmediatelly as you get to another time zone without pulling out the crown. Check it out on the Oris Webpage. My humble opinion.
gmt / worldtimer recommendations?
Hi All, I am keen on buying a GMT / Worldtimer watch. Which one would you recommend and why? Personally I would prefer one with a dual time zone whereby I can see the home and away time immediately. Any comments / thoughts / inputs would be greatly apprec...
Personally, I would go for the 2 iconic watches.
As for the GMT, the Rolex ( 6542 / 1675 / 16 750 / 16 750 / 16 700 / 16 710 / and the latest with the ceramic bezel ). As for the WT, the Patek ( 5110 / 5130 ). Nown there are some cool outsiders: As for the GMT, Ulysse Nardin offers some very interesting...
Agree on the WT
For a World Time watch the JLC Master Geographic or Master Compressor Geographic. Can not go wrong. Good luck, -Brandon
You have given an important clue
...which is that you would like to see both time zones immediately. That's the way that I like it as well, which is why I am strongly drawn to the JLC Geo and Lange 1 Time Zone rather than to the PP (or now VC) style world timers, which are not at all int...
The new JLC Master Geographique
The geographique will show both time zones - a function you mentioned as a preference. It may be my favourite offering from this year's SIHH from all brands. Best,
"can see the home and away time immediately"
How about this Ochs und Junior Due Ore watch, created by the genius of Ludwig Oechslin. Its built upon the concept of simplicity. The watch enables to read a second time at a glance (no subdials needed). It actually contains less parts than the ETA base m...
The Due Ore...
is a fantastic thing. The prototype in your original post was just my kind of watch. One of those simple yet so useful modifications...
I like the JLC Master Hometime
it is my no-nonsense do-everything international travel watch. For perfection, I would probably go to the Lange 1 Timezone PT, with the Patek 5110P a close second. Best Andreas...
Would I be throwing a wet blanket on the thread...
...by suggesting the easiest to read of any GMT watch I've ever owned, the Omega 2234.50? Yes you need to turn the bezel to the alternate time, but no watch I've ever seen indicates not only whether night or day at a quick glance, and a lume you can see f...
Blancpain Leman GMT Alarm
Easy to read and quite useful to have an alarm when we travel. Regards, Yves
JLC Master Comprressor Geo or Dualmatic humbly suggested
I love the Master compressor for being functional and sportively stylish. cheers PAt
if you want to spend less then Oris do a worldtimer
its similar to the Lange 1 timezone as it has a sub dial with hours and minutes for home time and +/- pushers to adjust the hour hand of the main dial. the minute hands adjust together. its suitable for most places except the awkward places that have 1/2 ...

That Oris is pretty nice...
And I was never attracted to Oris in general, but this one has great aesthetics, and more importantly, appears extremely functional. This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2011-03-17 09:40:07
Thanks but...
Thank you for all your comments ... I have some additional question though... I would prefer the watch to have a 1/2 hour ability increments because some countries have 1.5 hours, 2.5 hours time difference. I think most of the recommended watches can only...
Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Traditionnelle World Time
Can I suggest the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Traditionnelle World Time, a SIHH 2011 novelty? You can find details in this article posted by WHL, the VC forum moderator: http://basel.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-636/pi-4360118/ti-682553/s-0/ Ciao!
RolexGmtMaster
I'd strongly suggest a pre-owned Rolex GMT Master (not the GMT Master II in which the date is a right royal nuisance to set if you don't wear your watch regularly) as the GMT watch, and a Patek world time. Unbeatable combination! Rishad
Ikepod Dual Time or Breitling Aerospace
Having only ever lost watches when traveling overseas, I tend to take one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Similar to the Parmigiani, the Ikepod can be set to any time you want in either time zone. It shows the date. You don't have to be a rocket scien...
I won't be original...
If the maket is full of GMT / Dual zone watches, the Worldtimers are much rarer... GP, JLC, Patek, Vacheron and a very few more... Simple: or complicated, it's up to you ! Fr.Xavier...
FP Journe Chronometer a Resonance
How aobut the FP Journe Chronometer a Resonance? Do the dual times work indipendently?
Yes, and other recommendations
The dual time zones are independent and the minute hands in each of the timezone dials can be set independently without any constraints. Thus you can set the times even one minute apart if you wish to... Two other good choices are Dubey & Schaldenbran...
How about someting easy and inexpensive?
Had this one for almost two yrs. It may not be fancy, or expensive but it does get the job done. The GMT hand at the 6 can be adjusted. Plus its solar powered. ....
