Nice!! Can't decide between this or the FC Worldtimer.

The new deepblue worldtimer looks great:

The world map is elaborately done and the rotor detailing usually seen in watches much more expensive:

For me the preference was for simplicity and legibility, and the Alpina to me is nothing short of stunning in these aspects. Also it is more versatile, doing both dress and pilot look with ease:

Any other notable World Timers?

too many to mention if you really look, some with amazing tech like gps. understandably with the movement and dial complication these may cost a lot.

i was looking at something "relatively affordably" so these were also under consideration :

nomos unique clean minimalist appeal

iu


ball with "day" dial

BAL130.JPG


bremont worldtimer with chrono capabilties (at budget limit already)
iu


just for comparison, this one costs more than $10K

IWC_Pilots_WT2_460.jpg


this one too, however considering the features this one packs a lot of value

iu


zenith's everything but the kitchen sink :
- world timer
- chrono (central sweeping)
- alarm (central hand with both on/off and power reserve indicators)
- big date
- proven and historic in-house movement (el primero)
- 36K bph

probably the world's most complicated movement/features combo squeezed into a 45mm diameter case and only 9m thick.

Like Nomos clean look...

Don't think I'll get the Zenith cos I need a kitchen sink (not that I have the budget)...
