GOOD TO THE BONE

One of the most distinctive skeletonised watch series on the market, Panerai’s Lo Scienziato family welcomes a new addition with this dual-timer. Housed in a 48mm red gold case, the Radiomir 1940 Tourbillon GMT Oro Rosso (PAM 559) is powered by Calibre P. 2005/S. The hand-wound tourbillon movement has second time-zone and day/night indicators, and a full wind gives the watch a power reserve of six days.

CLASSIC ACT

Elegantly contained in a 40mm pink gold case, the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Dual Time is driven by an automatic movement featuring a second time zone and date display. Its legibility is enhanced by a sober, classical aesthetic that includes accents like a railroad minute track and subtly layered subdials.

SHIP SHAPE

Nautical-inspired details lend a jaunty charm to this handsome timepiece by Ulysse Nardin. At nine o’clock, for instance, lies a home-time aperture that digitally indicates home time. Distinguished by an uncluttered display that includes date windows at two o’clock, the Ulysse Nardin Dual Time Manufacture is powered by an automatic movement with a silicon escapement.

SUBSTANCE WITH SIMPLICITY

The Saxonia Dual Time by A. Lange & Sohne might be minimalist in design, but it is certainly not so in terms of functionality. Housed in a restrained 38.5mm case, this model displays a second time zone via a blued s teel hour hand. This white gold timepiece features a stop-seconds function that stops the seconds hand during time-setting for greater accuracy.

FOR ALL TIME

Mixing classical elegance with modern functionality, the Breguet Tradition GMT 7067 has a second decorated dial at eight o’clock that shows the time back home. The day/night indicator at 10 o’clock also comes in handy for ensuring users don’t unintentionally make middle-of-the-night calls to friends and acquaintances. The manual watch has a 50-hour power reserve and comes in a 40mm rose gold case.
