Essay

This reference is distinguished by the classic ref. 570 case, but is equipped with a travel time movement. The watch features specially designed pushers on the left side of the case, allowing the wearer to adjust the hour hand in one-hour increments, making it simple and precise to set the time across different time zones. Starting in March 1962, an additional hour hand was introduced, allowing the watch to display two time zones simultaneously.
