A SIMPLE SWIPE of your smartphone may do the job, but why let modern technology get in the way of mechanical ingenuity and artisanship? For the globetrotting watch enthusiast who demands horological finesse, a multitime zone watch is an indispensable travel companion. These timepieces, offering either dual- or world-time complications, let you stay connected while looking like you mean business. In this roundup, we invite you to discover some of our favourite continent-crossing timepieces of the year.
Patek Philippe World Time Reference 5330G-001
Patek Philippe has been making world time watches since 1937, and the complication has been one of its strongest suits. Thus, it is no small matter that the brand hails this version as its new-generation offering.
The World Time Reference 5330G001 boasts a more youthful demeanour compared to its predecessors. Its slim 40mm white gold case, gorgeous blue hues, decorative weave-style pattern on the dial and denim-embossed calfskin strap exude a fresh and almost sporty spirit.
This watch is also noteworthy for two reasons. First, it is Patek Philippe's first world time watch with a date to enter serialised production. Second, it is equipped with an intelligent, patent-pending feature that allows the date display to be synchronised automatically with the local time.
