Jul 08, 2021

You might face some problems related to different time zones if you recently travel abroad. When you arrive at the airport, you don’t really know what time it is. Thus, wearing the best dual time watches on your wrist is such a good solution. 

This type of timepiece was first crafted for pilots while doing international flights. Today, those wristwatches are not only made for aviators, but also for everyone who wants to read two different time zones simultaneously. Here I suggest to you two best dual time watches that are worth buying and available on Gnomon store.

Steinhart Ocean 1 Vintage Dual Time Premium

One of the best dual time watches to have is Steinhart Ocean 1 Vintage Dual Time Premium. This timepiece was introduced as a tribute to intercontinental flights that expanded in the mid 1950s. During that era, the second time zone and date complication was applied in one display to fulfill the needs of civil and military aviation.

Underneath the domed sapphire crystal with double layers of anti-reflection, there is a dial capturing a minimalistic look with multiple functions in one layout. The mix of silvery shine and beige vintage color scheme in a radial gradient from light to darker truly represents a vintage watch personality. 

Everytime I look at the tone color, my memory goes back to the golden era of transatlantic flight. The self-illumination uses SuperLuminova old radium to show more historic character of this dual time watch, drawn on each hand and arrow marker for giving such a bright effect of yellowish-green at nighttime. The bezel itself comes in a well color combination between blue on top and red at the bottom, showing much beauty.

The fourth hand to tell the second time zone is colored in an astonishing red with a small silver-beige arrow on top. You only need to set the unidirectional rotating bezel for adjusting the second time zone. 

This watch also allows you to read a date at 3 o’clock position, red color indicates even days and the black one identifies the odd days. These features are powered by 2893-2 Elaboré Premium which is based on Swiss movement. Creating good accuracy and  reducing friction at the same time.

I can enjoy wearing this wristwatch all day since it comfortably fit on my wrist with a 42mm diameter case, 16 mm tall, and 51mm lug to lug. The case is finished in both satin brushed and polished, secured by a stainless steel bracelet with screw links and fliplock.

Considered as one of best dual time watches, this timepiece is also made of the screw-down crown that lets you play up to 300 meter water depth. Steinhart Ocean 1 Vintage Dual Time Premium is here supporting your daily tasks in the sky, underwater or ground. Buy it here.

Mido Multifort Dual Time Black 42mm Ref. M038.429.36.051.00

Mido Multifort Dual Time Black 42mm Ref. M038.429.36.051.00 is here for your top choice of best dual time watches. The value and aesthetics of the Multifort series are based on Sydney Harbour Bridge’s architecture that denotes strength. It was first introduced in the early 30’s where the Great Depression happened.

The round case of the timepiece measures at 42mm diameter, 13.39mm thickness, and 48 mm lug to lug distance. To produce the case, I meant the charming and robust one, Mido uses Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coating technique with an outcome of gorgeous shades of black and anti corrosion case.

The additional second time-zone is displayed in the grey sub dial which is pointed by the orange hand, whereas the main time is featured with stick indexes. Mido painted BGW9 SuperLuminova on each marker and hands to make it easy to read the time in low light conditions.

As a high quality wristwatch, Mido chooses flat sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective treatment to prevent any damages that can affect the watch value. This brand also does not forget to use a black leather strap with a touch of alligator prints to boost the overall look.

We’ve talked about the design, now let’s jump to the movement. Inside the black dial, there is a caliber 80 of Mido that is responsible for this timepiece’s accuracy. It is the latest generation automatic movement that has been modified to 25 jewels. Surprisingly, this movement has a vibrations rate of 21,600 beats per hour and 80-hour power reserve.

Another thing should not be forgotten, Mido Multifort Dual Time Black 42mm Ref. M038.429.36.051.00 not only offers you a dual time reading, but also lets you know what day it is at the 3 o’clock position. At the same location, you’ll find a screw-in crown for time adjustment that can withstand 100 meter water depth.
