The "Navigator" That Tells the World's Time

One of Tissot's finest models, developed in 1953 and known by the model name "Navigator" for its simple yet practical world timer function, has been reissued from the "Heritage" collection as a 160th anniversary commemorative model.

In addition to the hour, minute, and second hands displaying local time in one time zone, by reading the central city name disc, which completes one rotation in 24 hours, and the 24-hour index on its outer circumference, one can instantly know the current time in 23 other cities.

The price, in the mid-150,000 yen range, is astonishing, considering its simple yet excellent functionality and its high-precision movement that has passed official chronometer certification. It is an absolute recommendation for anyone looking to acquire a world timer. In addition to the stainless steel model shown, a limited edition gold case model of 333 pieces worldwide is also available.
