Dual-time Watches
Dual-time watches show two time zones at once without a GMT hand. Typically they’ll have two apertures: one with the second time zone and another with the city name.
GMT Watches
A GMT watch has a long 24-hour hand in addition to telling the local time on the central hour and minute hands. You can set the GMT hand to any time zone and know the time there at a glance. Read our full feature on GMT watches here.
World Timer
World-time watches show the time in all 24 main time zones on the dial using 24-hour and city disks. Local time is on the central hands. Learn everything about world timers in this story.
