    This watch has a lot of features: showing 2 timezones at one glance, Panorama Date, small second and power reserve. There is a day and night indicator for both local and home time.

    This manufactory calibre allows you to set the second time zone very easy, and even the daylight saving time when you travel.

    Each of the 35 time zones is displayed using an official IATA location code representing an international airport in the relevant time zone.

    The stainless steel version has Arabic numerals with a blued stick marker instead of Romans.

    The selection of 35 time zones incl. ½ h and ¾ h differences and daylight saving/standard time.

    The blued hands are really a great touch to the white dial that makes the watch very readable.

    The Arabic numerals really work great but the 11 should have been a little to the left.

    Here you can see the disc for the IATA codes for all the time zones.

    Setting the displays could not be simpler: the home time can be set using a crown at 2 o'clock, and the current time zone is selected using the crown at 8 o'clock. When traveling east (forward in time),

    one turns the crown at 4 o'clock clockwise until the IATA code for the destination time zone appears in the corresponding DST or STD window. When traveling west (back in time) one turns the crown

    counter-clockwise. In both cases the central hour and minute hands shift forwards or back in 15-minute steps, so that the IATA code for the destination time zone can be seen in the DST or STD window.

    Here you can see what complications his watch have and how to set it.
