The famous Calatrava in its latest, large-sized version with a smooth bezel incorporates a completely new, manually-operated double time zone system which is easy to use. It shows both the local time (black hand) and the original time, with a day/night indicator at 12 o'clock (gold hand). If this function is not required, the central hour hands are superimposed on each other, gold on black. The black hand is moved with the buttons on the left, one (at 10 o'clock) for backwards and the other (at 8 o'clock) for forwards. If both buttons are accidentally pressed together, then the forward button will respond. Everything remains completely synchronised when the watch is adjusted via the crown.
