Parmigiani Fleurier just introduced a new version of their popular Tonda Hemisphere timepiece. Like the previous versions, this one has a dual time zone (GMT) feature. Both time zones are fully visible, at a glance, including minutes and hours. On top of that, each has its own day/night indicator. There is also an exposed date window, that allows you to see three days at a time. Two crowns control the separate time zones, and the main crown also allows you to wind the watch and set the date. All new on this model, is a partially skeletonized dial. You can see some of the gears and screws, which gives it a very appealing look. The silver inner circle on the dial is metal, and is finished with Geneva stripes, further adding to the dial aesthetics. The only other big change, is the blue color scheme, including a blue Hermes crocodile strap.

Bvlgari recently unveiled the Diagno GMT, at Baselworld 2009. The key feature of the new Diagno GMT is a hack mechanism that makes it very easy to change between different time zones. For most dual time watches, you need to set the second time zone via the crown. For this one, instead of a crown, it uses pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock to advance or reverse the second time zone hour hand. The date automatically changes when the second time zone hour-hand is moved forward or backwards. If the watch is left still for too long, a pusher at 8 o'clock can independently adjust the date. Read the full specifications below:
