So a few reasons

Given that i travel a lot, travel watches do serve a very strong purpose.
i already own a WT (PP 5230) which i love but can only be used for formal travels and i was more searching for a dual time format.
I was really looking for a watch that can be worn in a suit/tie scenario (which is why i did not go with a rolex GMT) but that i could also wear in any streets without being too conspicuous or relaxing by the swimming pool at a hotel (which is the reason why i did not go with the 5164R or with a JLC Duometre travel time).
Also i travel to countries with very different weather, sometimes very humid so i was looking for a strap that would fit this.
Specifically for this model i love how easy it is to read both local and home time and i find the 2 night/day indicators really nice. It is also very easy to set up your local time with the pushers on the left side.
Last but not least i find the way the Home hour hand disappears under the local hour hand when i am not travelling really cool and clean.
This is a watch i have worn in very formal client meetings but also horse riding or skiing...
My only cons at this stage is the clasp which does not fully convince me and can open if you dont make sure it is properly closed.
