Reply With QuoteThese Russian jobbies can be had for under 50 quid. Not auto though, you have to turn the internal bezel with the second crown.
I would really like to get a true auto world timer that shows the time in 24 cities at once. Obviously there is a great PP that fits the bill but looking for something are a lot cheaper but still has the moving internal bezels for times and cities. I have seen the nomos zurich version but it only shows two time zones.
any ideas?

I have no idea what a "true" auto worldtimer is (presumably the "false" ones put all the cities in the wrong order? :D) but there is a Seiko that does this, using the bezel to align your nearest city location with the current time and allowing you to read the time elsewhere:Originally Posted by scampers
Or for a lot more money, a Longines with a rotating internal bezel:

Two of mine, very inexpensive options both -
Sorna Chrono
Seiko Worldtime
NB - both images stolen from the internet - thanks to the Watch Spot Blog for the Seiko, sorry haven't got a clue where the Sorna snap came from
Glycine Airman 8 "World Time"
Seiko "World Time"
Seiko "Navigator" maybe not really a World Time, but it does keep 2 time zones.

Mine has got some uncommon cities on the bezel, like Lima instead of NY and Oslo instead of Paris
