Loving this piece especially when traveling

This timepiece is definitely a versatile one during travel. Changing time after crossing several time zones is a breeze. The strap lends itself well during hot or cold climate. No doubt a winner in my book.



Have a great week ahead!

The utility of the watch is amazing. It just doesn't get any easier to perform the function it was designed to do when traveling. But sadly the rotor noise was just too much for me. It almost seemed to "rattle" at times. Damn my OCD. Haha!

But it does look great on your wrist!

Thanks everyone for the nod!

It was the watch that I had targeted to acquire when it was announced in Baselworld several years back. Took me around 8 months on that year to finally land said piece courtesy of my AD. My AD has always been supportive.

Initially I had a hard time justifying the almost doubled price (as against the 5167) but as I went along I really found great utility on the travel time function.

My first travel that I took this watch was on a 12-hour difference. Needless to say, I still adjusted the watch to reflect the day and night function between home and local time.

My second travel has a 1-hour time difference, which is a click away.

I definitely believe that the travel time watch has more significance IMO particularly on travel spanning above 3 time zones. I'm loving every moment of this watch.

The bonus of this travel time was the tropical strap which is a joy to wear. I wouldn't want anything other than that strap for travel.

Again thanks so much for the compliments!
