Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer UTC

This is the best watch I've seen from Basel 2019... of course, normal lugs would have been better. You advance the local hour hand in whole-hour increments with the buttons on the side.

That's pretty slick looking, out of my league price-wise.

PD has a history of funky integrated bracelets, so it's totally sensible for them.

Central date plus GMT hand is a recipe for confusion.

That's really sleek Joe, and super cool all the way around sir ! Boy oh boy !!! 8-) :clap:
The whole watch is one big highlight actually, and even the bracelet stands out.

Thanks a ton Joe !!!

I kind of like the funkiness of this one. It would confuse me though to read the time.

I went to the link, it's running a SW200 movement. I have no experience with the Selitta movements yet any thoughts on the movement?

I was surprised they didnt just cram a quartz in there with the unique push button hour functionality.

Especially when the hands are the exact same shape and color.
