·Perhaps I own a few world timers and know exactly how to use them...
Perhaps the valid question of a dial that presents as a 12 hour dial but has seemingly secondary 24 hour markers with a bezel that only makes sense in the presence of a 24 hand having a 24 hour hour hand is beyond your comprehension.
Normally you see these with a clear 24 hour dial or have a sencondary 24 hand that hopefully is independent from the 12 hour hand.

·It's a world timer. Figure it out. It's not rocket science.
Have fun...work a bit.

·@Bill Sohne - I'm terribly sorry for derailing your lovely thread. You have called upon us several times to behave in a kindly manner on OF and to focus on posting nice watches. You've posted a nice watch, I don't quite understand how it works, and while I intended to start a nice informative discussion I've managed to get it right sideways. 😬
I'm sure you must be occupied with work or life at the moment, I am going to go silent in this thread kindly waiting for an informative response from that I'm sure will clear up my confusion. 😀

··Ωf Jury memberI'm late to the – ahem – party, but a world time model like this simply shows the correct hour for the various cities on the bezel with a single adjustment. GMT models typically have an independently adjustable 24-hour hand designed to identify a second time-zone.

·A description from Seiko on how to use the rotating world-city bezel. Hopefully this will end the discussion.

I glanced through that and assumed they where talking about a 6117 movement with a fixed 24 hour hand that you can use in a slightly different way. Where you set the bezel to the 24 hour hand at local time and instantly see the time anywhere. Same idea different execution.

Thank you for sharing. Now it makes sense.

·This has a nice Enicar sherpa-guide-esque feel to it with the SC case, long lugs, and world timer bezel... Very nice 👍

·@Bill Sohne :
I can’t believe that you, of all people, posted such a controversial watch! And then disappeared for a day! 😉
Just for the record, I liked it even before I understood it. Very cool. 🥰

Ah, World Timer. (Psst, your thread title...)
I was wondering what a Word Timer was.
Conklin made fountain pens in the thirties that had word gauges. But, a word timer? That’d be a thing to see.
Very interesting watch, btw.

··Bill @ ΩFGood point.. @Bill Sohne is the watch missing a 24 hour hand or is the hour hand 24 hours?

·No 24 hour hand
Just read the whole thread ... it gets straightened out in the end.

·Thanks! it’s been sorted out how exactly you use that bezel without a 24 hour hand.
It involves math and using my noggin, which invariably hurts said noggin. Very cool watch nonetheless, and the BOR looks good on it.

·The world timer "this way" is interesting, because it actually doesn't involve using any of the hands at all... it is a conversion table, which can be used without the watch's hands (as long as you know what local time it is). Smart non-complication feature 😎
Looks good on BoR... The pile'o'stuff in the background is funny (I can see a stamping thingie, a remote, a watch, boxes, bubble wrap...). This works on OF but on IG everyone would unsubscribe 😁

Well I have a few Super compressors.... they all have the under crystal count up min bezel..... then someone cooked up the idea hey we can ad another feature by adding an external bezel so what if the case is 42 mm and this is the 1960s/ 70s....
I have seen two complications...
The " World Time " bezel...
and then the king of all bezels...
The Depth gauge !!! Depthomatic !
photo taken from the web.... I am too lazy to find mine right now.... ( late for work ).
A watch only a few can love !!! its not "slick" ..... maybe sick !
Good Hunting
