I think the Breitling GMT does it better. As it has the 24 hour demarcations on the bezel as well as the chapter ring. Making it easier to read the 3rd time zone.

1: It can not tell you three timezones simultaneously, because if you twist the bezel it doesn’t show your original timezone anymore. 2: it won’t tell you any time while travelling, because you won’t actually take it travelling (to any place in the west at least) for fear of being robbed. While in your safe the GMT won’t tell you the time in any timezone…

[@LucaTheStar]

The third time zone assumes that you know where the numbers on the GMT bezel were originally like how a dive watch bezel assumes that you know 30 is usually at the bottom even if you move it. If you can do that little bit of mental GyMnasTics you can do three time zones.

[@felix3138]

Amazing that you’re showing what the watches can do. I’d be curious to see how many folks wearing a Rolex actually know and use the functions of the watch, outside of just telling time.

[@HabuBeemer]

I have this watch and I do use the functions on it. I'm a pilot and all flight plans are figured in GMT time now called Zulu. I fly a jet so it's common to cross several times zones in one day. The independent setting hour hand is a great option to have. Reading the GMT hand makes planning much easier without having to do mental math. It's a great watch. Bought mine 20 years ago.

[@Advic77]

Rotate the bezel in 8 increment hence if its 4am here it 12pm in Singapore. The 12 indicator on the bezel is on the 4pm mark. To know what the time is in Singapore, you'll read where the hr hand points to on the bezel. When in 5am where you are it will simultaneously be pointing to the 1 digit on the bezel hence it will be read as 1pm on the bezel meaning its 1pm in Singapore. Hope this helps.

Not true. You can’t do three time zones at once. U can only do two at the same time. Soon as you move the bezel for the “third” time, you change the reference point for the Second time zone….. you basically can either choose to use the gmt hand OR the bezel to track a second time zone. And if you want to jump to a third , keep in mind that it’ll become very hard to tell the time one of the second, because again, you’re changing the bezel from which it’s read… Cheers
