Habring 2 20 Time Zone Chronograph. An original way to operate the chronograph through the crown.
Here are two photos I found on the net, One official: This one to be credited to Watchley Dot Com. Super dial and case, and I never saw a chrono like that. I think our dear Brandon can explain us how it works, it is quite fascinating. Best, Nicolas Displa...
Here are a few pictures I took of the one I own...

Le Boom!
