The Carl F. Bucherer Heritage Worldtimer pays tribute to the early days of jet travel with a modern update to one of the brand’s 1950s worldtimers. Designed originally for travelers needing a second time zone display, the Heritage Worldtimer offers a simplified world-time function with a design faithful to its predecessor. Including the classic case complication operated by a second crown.

Turn the left crown to rotate the internal city disc in order the match the time zone you are in. There are 24 cities and when you turn it to the city of your time zone each other city has its own 24-hour time indication. So, reading your home time is easy too.
