Born from the oldest name in continuous watchmaking, few sport watches make globe-trotting look this effortless. Made for the collector who stays young at any age, it moves from a morning boardroom to a midnight arrival without breaking stride. A boarding pass becomes an adventure, and getting there becomes half the reward.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against a deep blue sunburst face lit by applied white gold markers, the dial shifts through a hundred shades of blue as the light moves across it. The six-sided bezel draws the eye with a high polish that gives a quiet nod to the Maltese cross. Carved from polished and brushed steel, the case slips from gloss to matte with every turn of the wrist.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, a second time zone, a day and night indicator, and a date. Waking it after a month at rest is simple: give the screw-down crown about forty turns to build power, then take each setting in order so nothing skips a beat. Set the date to yesterday with the screw-lock pusher at four o’clock, then walk the time forward past midnight so today’s date drops into place on its own. At its first stop the crown jumps the local hour alone, and pulled fully out, it carries both time zones and the minutes together, while the arrow-tipped hand keeps home time and the window at nine shows day or night back home. Good for 60 hours on a full wind and water resistant to 150 meters, the self-winding caliber 5110 DT turns on a 22K gold rotor engraved with a wind rose and earns the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva.
Comes as a complete set, double-boxed with the steel bracelet, blue alligator and rubber straps, an extra folding clasp, guarantee certificate, certificate of origin, and booklets.
Worn by those who prefer a knowing glance to a loud logo, it whispers where others shout, the kind of quiet luxury the Roy family would nod at. Picture it clearing customs in Milan and making dinner in Tokyo the same week, equally at home in a boardroom or a White Lotus suite. Slip it on once, and you may never reach for anything else.
