I have been wondering about the history of 24 hour wristwatches. What is the earliest 24 hour watch that anyone knows of ? Is there any consensus on what would be considered the first one ? I imagine that the first 24 hour on-the-wrist was a pocket watch adaptation, and would like to know of any...

Received this watch as a birthday gift and I am liking it (2+ months now). Just did a review on it on my Youtube channel. My question to fellow WUS members here, are you comfortable and am able to immediately read the time on your 24 hours watches like how you would on a normal 12 hour dial...

Very rare vintage soviet watch Raketa with time zones calculator with 24 hour dial and day date calendar. Special feature of this watch is time zone calculator which uses rotating bezel with cities names located in different time zones and 24 hour dial marking. For example, by setting time in...

Hey all, I've recently started buying watches that I like, and I purchased a 24 hour Raketa watch off of eBay. After some research, I'm sure that it's not genuine (the bridge on the movement says 2628.h, which as I understand it is a 12hr movement which can be modified to be a 24h movement)...

So it was my 18th birthday yesterday and I got a watch (family tradition), but my mum got me a 24hour analog clock - but I don't understand it the slightest... What I mean by that, is I don't know how to set it, and I don't know how to read it as it how a normal (12 hour) clock would do an hour...

I find it sad that there are no new sub-$100 true 24 hour watches. I know about the Russians but there isn't anything new. I'd even settle for a quartz. I don't think even Invicta has any. I'd like to find out if there are any 24 hour quartz modules available. Then I could make my own but I...

I found what looked like a nice Paketa 24 hour World timezone watch. It came in today and is flawless as far as the case is concerned. I noticed the crown that controls the inner bezel is loose but that is normal according to other owners. I will post pictures later. It's a big watch, 40mm...

Hey everyone, About two weeks ago I stumbled upon a (supposedly) quite vintage 24 hour Raketa on Ebay. The watch was undeniably beautiful, and I'd never seen a mechanical 24 hour watch before. I did a small bit of research regarding the watches, but could not tell how obvious of a "fake" that...

This isn't the fancy 2 time zone ones I seen but it is very clean. I like the color but the height of the glass seems a bit too much. What do you guys think? The Glass seems so big. Is this the same for the 2 crown watches?

I was looking at the Paketa 24 hrs posted recently. The next watch I want should be unique so I'm still waiting for the right one. Looking at the dial, it seems to me that the readings are in increments of 10 minutes. Is that correct? If so, there's no way I can tell if I'm gonna be late for...

Yes, it's unusual and rare. To the best of my knowledge, WorldChronos only existed for a short period of time in 2006 ~ 2007. The dial shows the time in all 24 hour time zones, which isn't unusual, but it also tells the day & date for all zones. Comes with 3 straps - 2 leather, the brown has...

This watch is not for everyone. But I think it speaks to many people here, as it has been posted about many times in these forums. This post is not so much about a watch as it is my musing about the representation of a watch. But no worries, though -- I will still write about the Botta Uno 24...
