The watch features a third time zone as well as a second time zone (GMT), to ensure optimum adjustment to different time zones and to enable the wearer to keep focused when exploring international stock exchange terrain. Distinctive Arabic numerals and blued hands guarantee easy readability. The distinctive oblong and at the same time domed tonneau shape makes for particularly comfortable wear. The Cintrée Curvex case has been cut from a single block and the sapphire crystal is fit accurately and perfectly curved.
