This black titanium and rubber Hamilton ODC X-02 watch is for serious travelers. It has three clock faces, which can each be set for different time zones--or, if you're really edgy, all set to the same region.
The water-resistant Hamilton ODC X-02 watch will officially launch this September at a retail price of $1,750. Unfortunately, however, even a three-time one watch won't prevent jet lag.
