Longines, CHF 2,850

An irresistible GMT watch with a winning retro vibe that is sophisticated enough for every occasion, including when you need to dress to impress – meaning you can also enjoy it when not on your travels. Longines keeps its promise of a quality watch at an affordable price.

Bell & Ross, CHF 5,700

Kudos to Bell & Ross for launching a watch with an integrated steel bracelet! The BR 05 collection has grown into the brand’s creative flagship and continues to welcome new models. This original variant of the BR 05 GMT features a white dial that will appeal to laid-back travellers.

Panerai, CHF 10,100

Here’s an instrument that will never leave its owner guessing. In addition to a second time zone, indicated by a central hand, it features a date display (for knowing when you’re due home), a power reserve (to never run out of juice) and small seconds to show that everything is functioning as it should.

PAM 1361 Luminor BiTempo in steel, 44mm diameter, automatic movement, date in an aperture, small seconds, power reserve indicator, alligator strap.

Chopard, CHF 11,800

This elegantly minimalist watch makes clever use of different shades of grey to ensure the legibility of its various indications. Note the choice of titanium as a case material for comfort and a contemporary note. As a 250-piece limited edition, it ranks high on the collectability scale. Collectors (and speculators) take note...

Jaeger-LeCoultre, CHF 14,700

This watch doesn’t display a second time zone by means of an additional central hand. Instead, Jaeger-LeCoultre uses the “flip side” of its reversible case to show hours and minutes, a second time zone and a day-night indicator. A typically elegant design from La Grande Maison.

Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar in steel, 49.5 x 30mm, manual-winding movement, day and month in apertures, pointer date, day-night indicator, moon phases, leather and canvas strap.

Rolex, CHF 15,400

An icon among watches enriched with a supremely legible GMT function and in a precious livery, namely Everose Rolesor - which in Rolex language means a combination of gold and steel. All with a two-colour bezel in brown and black ceramic.

GMT Master II in steel and pink gold, ceramic bezel, 40mm diameter, automatic movement, date in an aperture, steel and pink gold bracelet.
