The Metropolitan 24 Cities displays two time zones in two windows. One shows the reference time for a selected cosmopolitan city, the other displays a city for local time. The dial also features an AM/PM window for easy determination of morning and afternoon hours. When the watch came on the market in 2006, the Metropolitan 24 Cities was the only dual time watch taking daylight saving time into account. The integrated pusher in the crown allows a fast overview of the different time zones worldwide.
