Travel-Friendly Luxury Watches

This Luxury Swiss Watch Makes Time Zone Adjustments a Breeze

While luxury Swiss watches have become the most desirable forms of opulent timepieces around, the fact of the matter is that while they look good on the wrists of well-heeled travelers, they're often a major hassle to adjust when you're flying around the world and traversing time zones.

This is where the Big Crown ProPilot Worldtimer comes in. Developed by Oris, this luxury Swiss watch features a gorgeous yet simple bezel-run complication that makes it possible to change the time via hourly increments. This is a major improvement to typical luxury watch time adjustments that demand the wearer stop the mechanism altogether, or change the hours, minutes and date separately.

For too long, luxury watches have come with a compromise attached, in that they are more difficult to adjust than even dollar-store digital watches. But the Big Crown ProPilot Worldtimer rubbishes that tradition, and in doing so is set to appeal to wealthy international travelers.
