5230G-001

In various different forms the World Time has been available for around 80 years although for 2016 the new 5230G-001 has been updated in a number of key areas. The case shape has been changed, most noticeably around the lugs - now much more traditional in appearance. The hands have also changed, the hour hand now has the appearance of the 'Southern Cross' constellation as opposed to previous 'ball' hand. Another update is the time zones themselves, as from 27th March 2016 Russia 'moved' from GMT+4 to GMT+3. Changes for the sake of accuracy had to be made. The 5230G-001 in white gold comes with a hand-guillochéd, charcoal grey lacquered dial.
