Are there any watches with a 24 hour face?

Hi

Ive always wondered this. By a 24 hour face, I mean that instead of 12 hours it has 24, so midday would show as 6pm does on a normal watch.

Brietling Flyback?

Breitling Cosmonaute. I had one years ago, it drove me nuts. As I would instinctively read the time by glancing the position of the hands, and not reading the hands against the dial calibration. For example I would always see the following as 10.10 and not 20.10..



The Rolex Explorer II is a much better solution for reading 24hr time.

Loads of watches have 24 hour outer bezels, Glycine do proper 24 hour watches (Airman Purist I think they're called) where the hour hand only goes round once in 24 hours.

Raketa (a Russian make) do lots of them.

There is - see Pg5 of the 2010 WristShot thread, picture of it there.

I'd go for the Glycine Airman as well, watch out as one model is 38mm/42mm and another is 46mm.

The design is pretty unchanged from the original Glycines from the 'nam (that's 'Vietnam', not 'Birmingham') era - here's one for example:





The price has changed though, $50 at the P/X in the '60's to over a grand today, but they're 200m w/r and well made and as you can see, the design (like all the classics - sub/speedie etc) hasn't changed much from the original. Be sure to check whether it's a 24hr watch or a GMT watch though - they do both I believe.

Does this count ?!!

Has a 24hr hand for one of its multiple time zones, as well as normal time in digital format, a sunrise/sunset indication based on last city location entered, moon phase, various alarms, counters, stopwatch functions, and 500+ city times etc etc.
