Oceanus Watch: Torgoen Swiss Men's T08301 Triple Time Zone Black Polyurethane Strap Watch Review

Average Reviews:
4.5 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I occasionally travel across time zones and am always looking for cool "GMT" style watches - ones with at least 2 time zones.When I saw this watch with 3, count them 3 time zones, I jumped all over it.

Mine has a rubber strap. That's important to me because when I travel, I wear the same watch every day - rubber doesn't absorb perspiration like leather and I find it more comfortable that a steel bracelet.The size may be too big for some but for my medium to large frame, this watch looks and feels just fine. So far, it's been reliable and it keeps good time.

Setting the main time zone is easy, the dials to reset the 2 secondary time zones are small and on the left side so they are a little more difficult to set.Visibility is excellent - good contrast between hands and dial plus the hands and numbers glow in the dark.

I looked at the whole line - some very interesting watches in there. Torgoen looks like a winner.So why 4 stars? I would have liked an automatic rather than a battery movement.

Product Description:
A great choice for globe-hopping travelers and pilots, the unique Torgoen T8 men's watch includes three separate timing movements created by famed manufacturer Ronda of Switzerland, which enable you to track three separate time zones. This stylish timepiece offers a handy way for pilots to need to keep local time, destination time, and GMT (Zulu time) close at hand. Featuring a high-grade stainless steel watch case and sporty black polyurethane strap (with raised Torgoen lettering), this T8 (model T80102S05) has a black face with three separate tonal dials, each of which can be adjusted with separate crowns and not affect the other. The larger local time dial includes a mix of stick hour markers and Arabic numerals at the quarter hours, luminous hands (with red seconds hand), small minute indexes, and a date window at 3 o'clock. The other two dials (GMT on top, destination on the bottom) reside to the left and include two-handed movements.
Other features include a scratch-resistant mineral crystal and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)--offering protection from accidental splashes as well suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and light recreational diving. It comes with a detailed instruction booklet.
