Tra i due modelli definitivi del Tangomat GMT preferisco quello con i codici IATA.

International Air Transportation Association airport code   Per informazioni sullo IATA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Air_Transport_Association_airport_code

ps: ma se devo dire quale tra tutti i GMT/Worldtimer, .....  senza alcun dubbio lo Zürich Weltziet

questo è carino però personalmente forse starei sui tradizionali...

Caliber Xi for Purists: 
Tangomat GMT Plus
 
Failed in math? Allergic to numbers? Then this watch may not be the one for you.
But for everyone else, this especially discreet version of the Tangomat GMT
makes life easier while traveling



 
Glashütte, in March 2011. Those who love the radically reduced, purist face of
the Tangomat model but don’t want to relinquish a second time zone may
choose the Tangomat GMT Plus and do as follows: shortly before landing in a
foreign country, ask for the time difference, then press a button to set the new
time zone on the Tangomat GMT Plus. It’s not necessary to count while pressing
the button, because the difference is shown in a small window at the nine
o’clock position. But first one has to let the watch know where it is at home. Or
for mathematicians: where the zero and starting point is.
 
1. Press with some force on the button at two o’clock. The hour hand moves
and at the same time the scale in the little window at nine o’clock moves a
position further. Press as often as it takes until the display “+/- 0” appears in
the window. This is the position where you are at home, for example Berlin, and
the starting point for your travels through the time zones.
 
2. Now you need the adjusting pin for the recessed button at eight o’clock.
When you press there and then retract the pin entirely, you move the hour hand
– and it alone – one position further. Now, position by position, set the hour
hand to the hour shown by the little time disc on the right. Now your watch is
synchronized.
3. From this point on, continue as usual. The crown, pulled out, sets the time at
your home, for example Berlin, quite conventionally. The hands and the little
time disc move together thereby. But you have to pay attention to one thing: if
the hour hand is on the ten, this can mean ten in the evening. It doesn’t matter
to the hour hand – but it does to the time disc with its 24-hour display.
 
4. Now you can move through the time zones with the button at two o’clock.
After pressing it 23 times, the hour hand has now arrived at “-1,” in our case
Greenwich Mean Time. But the time in your home city is still the same on the
small time disc. Now the movement needs a little power: turning the crown three
or four times should do it. From now on, the watch winds itself with every
movement of your arm.
 
You can also decide to make Greenwich Mean Time your zero point, of course.
Or the time in New York. Or your own personal middle of the world. The small
disc at three o’clock will always show this time there, while the hands show the
hours to add or subtract, and thus the current time. In one point, however, the
Tangomat GMT Plus always remains discreet. This watch won’t give away where
you are right now or the name of the place you left your heart.
