About this watch

Features include stainless steel case with an inner rotating bezel, black dial with Arabic numerals, small running seconds, quick-set date and independently set dual time zone. The Dualmatic uses JLC's patented crown-lock system that is much quicker and easier to operate than a traditional screw-down crown, while providing the same level of water resistance. A white indicator means the crown is locked/secure, while a red indicator means it is unlocked and can be operated. The watch is quite unique in that its GMT hand does a full revolution of the dial every 12 hours - exactly the same as the main hour hand. You can then tell if it's AM or PM in the second time zone from the indicator in between 9-12 o'clock. This not only makes it much easier to read (as opposed to most GMT watches where the GMT hand goes around the dial once per 24 hours), but also allows you to hide the GMT hand under the main hour hand when not in use.
