A disc two times who can play a new tricks

Dual time zone watch is a kind of time zone watch. I think many of my friends are familiar. Since the 1884 Washington International Longitude Conference established the standard of the world time zone, the concept of time zone has profoundly influenced the whole world in the 20th century. At that time the most important way people look at the time is the clock and watch, the mechanical and clockwork manufacturing industry has also realized the need to develop a watch with a time zone function, so the watch with time zone function, a large number appeared in the 20th century, today, the time zone Watch more brilliant.

Some tables do not play routine

Time zone watch, mainly two kinds, one is the world time watch, one is dual time zone watch (or called GMT / UTC watch). They have a very clear distinction between the two, the World Time watch generally speaking on the dial there will be 24 global time zones (plus half-time zone will reach 37 time zones) time synchronization display, dual-time zone watch only shows an additional one Time in the area. Of course, in the movement structure, it is simply two systems.

Rolex Cellini double time zone

From my personal point of view, the dual time zone watch is more flexible and simpler than the universal time watch, except that it has to fly around the world or have business in more than one country, or play a role in world time watch. The dual time zone watch it, if the watch design will do when the agency to do more ingenious, then it is a very good business travel watch, no matter where you go, as long as the law in accordance with the time zone, simply adjust the dial pointer Can be easily synchronized, the world watch, because when I went to another location, in fact, do not need to know the time in so many parts of the world, so those messages will bring me the time to read the trouble, but also very Take up the dial space. Of course, this does not represent a bad watch for the world, but rather it needs to serve customers who really need it (obviously I do not).

I'm not too concerned about who created the first dual time zone watch. I am more concerned with the dual time zone list now available, which one is better, which one is better, which one is more affordable .

No need for over 10,000 common double time zone tables

Although dual-time zones require some additional structure as an additional feature, it has not yet generated a significant jump in price. Remove the electronic watch, mechanical watches with dual time zones have been very common in Japan and several domestic brands can buy a few thousand dollars, most Swiss watch brands have such watches. On the one hand, thanks to 2893, which was developed by ETA, King of Switzerland, the core of the movement, many brands can directly launch dual time zone watch, on the other hand, the basic movement such as 2836, 2824 and other basic movement stacked double Time zone module, but also relatively simple to achieve dual time zone function. So dual time zones have become a very easy and easy-to-buy feature.

Tissot is the most famous personal watch brand in China, relatively easy to accept the price, so that many people are more affordable, two or three thousand can get started Tissot, has a wealth of choices. However, the overview of Tissot watches in recent years, some of its mechanical movement time zone table rare, the only impressive is the 160th anniversary of Tissot in 2013 to commemorate the world time watch, in addition, it is Almost did not see how. Dual time zone table, then almost all quartz movement. Of course, the benefits of quartz movement are self-evident, and accuracy and low failure rates are good.

It should be noted here is that dual time zone does not exist in the first time zone and the second time zone such a statement, because it is easy to misunderstand, both in English to Local Time and Home Time to indicate that the local time (usually the most prominent dial Of the hour and minute hands) and home time, which is relatively easy to understand. In addition, not all GMT watches with a 24-hour indication, especially the low-end quartz watch, depend on whether it can be manually adjusted.

Hamilton Sir series of dual time zone table

Compared to other brands under the Swatch Group, Hamilton's dual time zone watch is obviously more, it is not only in the advanced waterproof watch dual time zone, but also in the classic series of Jazz and other watches in the series are Used. More diverse forms of presentation, from the window display to the pointer and the collection of the world when it comes to functions and so on. Sir Hamilton double time zone watch H32585551, the classic men's style, but also the most basic dual time zone watch.

Equipped with an ETA 2893-2 self-winding movement and 42 hours of movement, the watch belongs to the GMT version of the ETA 2892, so it retains a good thickness (4.1 mm) even after adding the corresponding time zone feature, Making the watch as a whole easy to wear, as to why not add this on the ETA 2824, perhaps for this reason. This watch does not add other features in the 2893-2, the disk surface of the 24-hour standard pointer instructions, the crown can adjust the hour hand, date and time zone pointer, the watch price of 8750 yuan, compared to time-zone features ETA 2892 movement watch, the price is high about 1,000 yuan.

Mido helmsman series double time zone table

In 2014, Mido celebrated the 80th anniversary of the helmsman series. In particular, Mido launched a series of helmsman time zone watches, one of the few timepieces in Mido all watches, And world time watch. At first glance, this watch is complicated at first glance, with not only the 24-hour World Time Zone logo but also an additional 24-hour pointer, which is different from a standard two-time or world time watch. Nevertheless, it is still a simple watch for both operation and reading.

This watch at 9 o'clock position T2 location is the home time zone, 24-hour indicator indicates the home time, when you are from where you are, just go to another area, just dial the center dial hour hand just fine, but need Note that dial dial center minute hand, 24 hours will follow move, so also need to tune back. Because the watch is equipped with ETA 2893-2 self-winding movement, the movement in principle, there is no world time function, so when you adjust the time zone plate, because there is no coherent structure, the dial pointer does not move , So it's actually just a dual time zone watch that just temporarily shows the world's time zones by adjusting when necessary. The price of this watch 9,100 yuan, close to a helmsman series week calendar Observatory watch price.

In addition, there are many brands to ETA 2893-2-based improvement, introduced some more appreciation of the GMT watch, the price from 10,000 to 25,000 range, if it is even higher than the precious metal.

Classic dual time zone watch

Compared to those who GMT-based GMT watches on the market, senior watch brands tend to prefer to use their own movement to load the GMT function, and has long been the market test, now known as a dual-time classic wrist table.

Rolex Explorer Ⅱ and Greenwich Ⅱ

I think most watch friends, but when it comes to GMT watch, the first thing that comes to mind is probably Rolex watches. Rolex Explorer II first came out in 1971, extending the spirit of the Explorer series, for the first time with a very eye-catching orange pointer, indicating the second time zone time. In 2011, the 40th Anniversary of Explorers II, Rolex launched a new Explorer Ⅱ watch, in addition to expanding the size, the entire design more modern, and the orange pointer, a double time zone watch a Rolex-specific ICON.

Greenwich-type watch II, Rolex professional GMT watches. Rolex Greenwich watch introduced in the middle of the last century, Rolex pilots for the design of the watch, so that they can quickly understand the time in two places, since then, Rolex will be upgraded to a modern Greenwich-type watch II, and explorers Ⅱ has a similar purpose, its biggest difference is the surface of the probe Ⅱ 24-hour bezel fixed, while the Greenwich-type bezel can be two-way rotation, and was given Rolex unique bi-color ceramic charm. In the movement, exploration Ⅱ using the 3187 movement, the Grignard II uses the 3186 movement, the former using the Rolex patent Paraflex suspension, the latter using KIF shock. In fact, this reflects the essential difference between the two. Explorers II serve professional explorers. Greenwich-type II is oriented to traveling and can actually indicate three times in time. Both watches have no calendar quick dial function, the two gears adjust the hour hand, and the hour hand, minute hand and time zone hand at the same time regulation, the prices were 64,200 yuan and 69,300 yuan.

Both watches are attractive, but I advocate concise, that PAM00688 more attractive. This watch can be said that the previous 320 (44 mm) a mini version, because the dial is 42 mm, 9 o'clock there is not enough space to write the number 9. Watch equipped with P.9001 automatic movement, providing three days of power, is a representative of Panerai GMT automatic movement, and is widely used.

This concise GMT watch style, a large number of dual time zone watch standard, a pointer can easily indicate the time of another time zone, but also easy to adjust.

Dual time zone table of different characteristics

Although we know there are many dual time zone watches, and are very simple, but in the calibration, they are using the crown, and not all of the above watches can make the hour hand jump forward in units of hours, This possible error is still a problem.

The remaining four small windows with AM / PM mean morning or afternoon local time, S / W for daylight saving or winter time, the arrow indicates the location of the city, the 3 o'clock window indicates the daytime of the home time or Night.
