Originally created for stylish travelers in the golden era of jet-setting, its rotating bezel marks Greenwich Mean Time and follows with names of 23 cities around the globe, making it easy to read the time in any time zone at a glance. This style, created for the European market, features the French spelling for the noted locations. Other details like a barrel-shaped case, a minimalistic dial, a geometric red second hand, and a domed crystal – all the height of cool back in 1972 – make this a faithful tribute the original and a stylish accessory for any modern traveler.Specifications

"Saw it loved it! Wanted a different watch in my collection, and reminder of an era. Born in 72. The original was too. Then saw a review on hodinkee, which loved it but also showed some of its idiosyncrasies, such as out of date timezones, misspelling of dehli on the bezel. . . Which I love even more . . plus it even had a modern quick release strap. . and klarnad . . . Perfect. . Love it . Get one!"
