Anybody into true 24-hour watches?

Probably a little-known/used corner of horology  best suited to pilots' use.  An example is an unbranded one by AAA Watch Club.

I love the 24hr concept and have been looking for one that grabs me, but, i found these duel time zone single handed 24hr Botta's on the web a few days ago and I'am fascinated by them!

Might find this site useful, if you don't already have access to it.

I like that one as it takes all the thinking out of 'time at a glance'; plus it's good looking thunbsup.gif

I think it's good-looking too.  But no way am I paying that price for a 30M WR watch.  (For me, if its under 50M WR, it doesn't get bought.)

What is the price...I'm not interested in installing another plugin just to see it ?

Amazon.com offers Bottas from USD 399 to 805.

Well; maybe $399 for a nice hi-beat auto but these appear to be quartz. In which case $399 is way too much and if mechanical $805 is ridiculous.

In full agreement there.

Probably one of the definitive 24-hour watches is the Glycine Airman, but that one will set you back far more then the Botta.
