Seiko World Time
Seiko World Timers (6217-7000 (MASWT))
Stainless steel, 37mm. Twenty-four timezones represented by cities throughout the world are depicted on a bi-directional rotating inner bezel, which is accompanied by a day/night indicator bezel, and a distinctive auto-setting GMT hand. It originally came in two model variations, released only during the calendar year of 1964 in honor of the Tokyo Olympics: one variant with a silver dial, black/blue day/night indicator, white rotating 24hr timezone bezel, and black GMT hand; and one with a gray dial, silver/brown day/night indicator, black rotating 24hr timezone bezel, and tawny GMT hand.
These are my favorite travel companions.

Wristscan #38 Travel time - STARTS NOW!
Dear friends This weekend we will share our watches that we travel with. Story behind the choice and pictures in situ are welcomed. This week I have traveled to north So here's watches I took with me The GP 9490HK and Omega Geneve Excellent traveling comp...
Rolex Explorer I.........
I take it with me every time I go to Switzerland.......under teh radar, happy in the hot tub, happy climbing, happy happy. A stealth watch that likes to keep itself to itself. ...
I would see better the GP for relaxing moments and the Omega for work๐ค
But anyway this summer I spent part of my holidays in the Italian countryside, specifically in the region of Marche. It was an unforgettable experience since we were in a extremely peaceful place surrounded just by vineyards. I brought with me the Speedy ...
Thank you Abel!
Yes they are really faithful nothing super complicated but in holidays I do not want to worry about them that much so those great beaters are perfect. Best.
if i was judge this week.....
.....naturally I would vote for myself....but I would give the JH runner-up. But I am not judge....so i think you will win
Thanks Joe, whoever is going to be
the Static judge will have a hard time, hopefully not too selfish hard time
Well, your background would 'help' the judges, no?
And I see a blue note I recognize. A great photo, my friend. Perfect for the theme.
I imagined that you would post those one.
Absolutely beautiful, citizens of the world. Best.
You are spoil for choice my friend!
A wonderful set. The John Harrison is a stunner. Stefan
Nice theme ๐๐ป
The watchbrand i normaly wear when i am travelling is Linde Werdelin . Nice robust watch , dont have to look out for a scratch or something . ...
Nice postcards
Thanks for joining Sincerely D P.S. No trouble travel watch is always the best
Hard theme ...
Since I'm hooked on GMT or dual time watches. For a more formal trip: The JLC Reverso Tribute Moon. Elegant and with the other side tracking my home time. Love this dial For a more casual trip, hard to beat the Omega Planet Ocean 8906 Master Deep Blue: A ...
No ...
Took me time to decide what should be the watches. I feel sorry to left behind this one: But the Vodka glass could be too much for Grappa drinkers. Cheers, Nilo ...
Not a travel watch per se,
but it's been on both my recent Eurotrips. Piss-boy unaccompanied. There it is on the left-or the right wrist, depending on your perspective. Zagrebian sausages forced on me (with little force). ...
Great travel companion you have, my friend!
Just watch out of who you meet up with! Best Blomman
I love the GP Foudroyante!
it is just a phantastic complication, and rarely seen. And the dial is just perfectly balanced. enjoy! Stefan
Oh my!
My noble quest for the perfect travel watch could fill entire volumes! Readers of my earlier watch reviews might even recall that many of these only came into being because of that quest. Still, when I find some analogue pictures of mine shot during a vac...
Many many well-traveled watches!
And many journeys. I wouldn't mind being your watch.
You take your travel watches very seriously dear Marcus
Looks like I hit the nail in the head this weekend
What a line up! :)
I am surprised we don't see the IWC Aquatime 2000 more often here. Don't have one but each time I see or hold one I think to myself I should... Best Blomman
Great theme.
But difficult for me to choose my favorite, so here is a few: 5270 on a beach: Acquatimer getting ready for a dive: 2 dive watches posing under the sea. Now for colder climate, Omega skiing. And another Speedy at the end of the world. Literally. The VC lo...
And a few more.
The P15 must travel as well. Here it is in sunny LA: And a KV... well, it is obvious. OK, I will stop now. ...
That KV is a winner for me ๐๐ป๐ค perfect pics btw ๐๐ป
I think i know where you took that KV shot ๐
Thank you. But sorry for the poor quality.
The idea was great, the watch and the setting perfect, the only flaw was the idiot taking the photo.
No, I just travel too much.
And never without at least a few watches. As for the second Speedy, well, that place is something to behold.
Its way above the arctic circle.
Populated by bears and seals. And no alcohol allowed. Fun place. I'd tell you exactly, but, then, you know, Bond rules...
It is no one's kind of place.
Except bears (not the Chicago ones, they wouldn't last 2 minutes).
It's missing fire.
Which I did have this summer and don't ever wish it again. But that was disqualified because it was at home.
Oh yes I remember well your shots. An event which is better to forget for sure
Regarding fire, this shot is sweeter ๐ Best wishes Alkiro ...
Absolutely!
But I canโt forget that during this night I was closed to burn the house with this open fire ๐ Best wishes Alkiro
Hello dear D.! An alarm complication is a nice feature to have in a traveling watch! Even in present times...
...when we have alarms in our own phones and other devices, the old alarm wrist watch adds an special charm to the way to attract our attention to an appoinntment or to get up in the morning. Iยดm sure this week end theme will bring a lot of interesting wa...
Ha ha ha!! I was sure you would recognize that shot of my Tudor BB taken at the most famous balcony in all Paris!! ;) ...
... An unforgettable experience my dear Nicolas!! I wish to repeat the visit some day soon!! Muchas gracias mi amigo! Abrazos! Abel
Just landed in Lima,
Then off to the mines in Potosi, Bolivia. Couldn't think of any better than my newly arrived (Monday actually) Rolex Explorer! Yes... Another one bite the dust! This is such a cool watch, love it!! Some pictures going to/ at the airport in Zurich and this...
Dedication to WS thread at its best
Bravo and congrats Looking forward Machu Pichu pictures Cheers D
When I travel, itโs sometimes with steel but always with style ๐
I donโt need to own a specific timepiece. I only want to enjoy the place where I am ๐ Best wishes Alkiro ...
Ok you win (again ๐) fabuleus pictures with some great and stunning watches ๐๐ป
I Need to practice more ๐
Perfect photos.
What can I say? What? Maybe they are tremendous? So tremendous you will get tired of tremendousness?
What? 18 shots? Moderator, we need some moderation ;)
Wonderfiul line up, love them all.
A great selection.
You could open a high-end watch shop, my friend. But don't. Then you'll have to part with those beauties.
Wow, love the Breguet Reveil du Tsar and your Lange timepieces! and of course the Royal Oak's
and not to forget: great phtos! Thank you for taking us to this wonderful trip. Stefan

Thank you for sharing these beauties.
I have a soft spot for the Seiko WT, have been hunting a perfect example for a while.

Hi All Shot of my Seiko when it escaped to Sweden a couple of years back. Cheers JML ...
Ok.. Another week.. Another theme.. Let me see..
This one has been coming along to the summer vacation On the day of the rather recent pick-up in Switzerland, Silvaplana One of my fav cities to visit Must have been travelling in style with this Vintage type XX as a perfect companion Best & HAGWE to ...
Thx for the kind comment, CC.. & Yes, it still is a rather eclectic but quite balanced watch
.. The size of the case gives it a contemporary appeal & it does deliver real pleasure ! Best & HAGWE, hs
Oh yes! A true keeper.
If JLC could hear us and relaunched a new Futurematic Porthole that would be fantastic for me. Best wishes Alkiro
Thx kindly Stefan !..!& Yes, in fact this little cardboard box is so well maintained and cute.
Here is the little story connected to it: - The catch is, it tells us, when & to whom this watch has been presented from one brother to the other ( actually as a Xmas present on Dec 25, 75); The other thing is, that the outside imprint on this yellow litt...

GP Laureato Anniversary! A more recent traveller is the Zenith P15. And a natural traveller is the 5110P! Best Blomman ...
For traveling other than to a Purists gathering . . .
. . . I would take one of two modern, legible, solid performers with hacking seconds . . . . . . for ease of time-setting. Either would do. I wouldn't take the natural choice . . . . . . mostly because it's irreplaceable. Art ...
I say it every time but I will say it again
That Grand Seiko is my dream and nightmare Superb piece Cheers D
Yup, my 910 was acquired from the original owner . . .
[first row, third from left] . . . who bought it from a PX in Thailand while serving a tour of duty in the Air Force. Drove to Arizona for the face-to-face transaction, too. Art ...
No idea right now.
But, as soon as I know, I will PM you. I was just there, but for less than 24 hours so had no time.
Yes, that's the natural choice, but . . .
. . . it would be impossible to replace if anything happened to it. The Sixties is still in production, and another modern GS could fill in for the SBGW 047. Original 910 Flightmasters . . . few and very far between. Art
It is great to travel with a Habring2. A favorite that
has logged many miles on planes, trains and automobiles. Best, Tim ...
Maybe because it has Wien instead of Paris, but it is an Austrian watch after all!
Best to you and Paris, Tim
Travel time!
And reading time! Book, train, GMT. Don't hate the player, hate the game. ...

Yup, there is better chance overseas to see me with Batman...
... while I seldom wear it here. Polo Bar is one "must go" place!
Oh, yes, Vienna! What a lovely city and...
.. that was my 5th or 6th visit. But surely come back again - there are too much to see/ enjoy, and many friends ) Maybe Salzburg next time - another favorite city.
In honor of my friendship with our host of this week's WristScan...
This was the watch I wore during my visit to Croatia and at my meet-up with Damjan in July 2015. Relaxing at the harbor in Opatija Leaving the island of Korcula Rooftops in Dubrovnik's Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. ...
You know my love for this watch
And I still appreciate time short thoug we spent together Cheers my friend
This brings so nice memories back!
I sold mine a few years back...thank you for posting. It seems we dont see a lot of pics of the Santos here on our forum. best Stefan
My main consideration is
utility and more often than not, it is either the BP FF or the GMTM. However, this week I have the Chopard TT One for a biz travel. Cheers! SF ...
Thank you Ken, a really good one from Chopard๐.
Like you said, they deserve more recognition and credit as a watch maker๐๐ป. Cheers!
Haven't taken this one off all week...
I think this is the perfect Chronometro! Have a great weekend everyone! Andrew ...
As they say...
Its not what you know... its the friends you have I am super pleased with it. Cheers Andrew
Well funny you should mention travel
Last weekend I left for the U.K. Early Fri am and returned Monday. A round trip of over 12,000 miles for 2days. Crazy you may say, but important to do for my oldest and dearest friend's 50th. We surprised him, plus my parents & one brother were in attenda...
The travel time piece
has to be this one for now and for a foreseeable future... until lady luck comes knocking. ...
Yes Padj, the rubber straps keeps this piece
much under the radar for the uninitiated. Which is good imo.
Nomadic travels:
The boys in Fez. Fez. London. Karnataka. Karnataka. Paris. Glasgow. Paris. Pembrokeshire. Frankfurt. Memories of Mali. The trip to Timbuktu. Lisbon. Lisbon. Lisbon. ...
Ladies and gentlemen we have ourselves a traveler!
Excellent Giles Trip to Timbuktu is my static winner this week Superb shot Cheers D
other travel passions are
antique cartography, and eclectic live music in interesting and intimate venues. Happy travels all! G ...
If you love antique cartography, you need the Vacheron Constantin Mercator ๐

Among a bunch of really cool watches the Zodiac GMT really stands out!
By the way, are you a spy or a mercenary? Can I ask that question and stay alive?
Thanks Alkiro! I really recommend Fez....
....it's old towns are the best preserved medieval cities you'll likely come across. Most of my other far flung travels are recorded pre digital - Peru, Chile, Bolivia, West Africa & Southern Sahara and Iran & Georgia - I really need to convert them.
Looks like a phantastic trip!
Love the Zodiac....and the GP's, of course. Best Stefan
Just on time!
Just came down the mountain, what a priceless experience! I thought of you guys, here a nice wristshot of the Rolex Explorer II in MachuPichu. A first? ...
Excellent!!
What a background hard to beat indeed Safe travels and thanks for dedication! Cheers D
