Specialist note
The Overseas World Time model was launched in 2016 and has the ability to let users access time across 37 time zones (including time zones that are off-set by a half or quarter hours) as opposed to the conventional 24 time zones seen on most mechanical watch models. All this via a single crown and with any additional pusher.
The centre of the dial features a 'Lambert' projection map depicting the continents in sunburst satin-brushed finish, the oceans (in a velvet finish), along with a translucent lacquered disc bear the city names. A third sapphire disc laid over the map provides day/night indications by means of subtly graded smoky tints, synchronized with the 24-hour disc. Finally, a translucent lacquered velvet-finished outer ring serves to indicate the hours and minutes.
