First designed to help pilots keep track of time zones in the early era of commercial flying, GMT watches use a 24-hour hand to track a reference time. Originally, the hand indicated Greenwich Mean Time, the day's universal reference time, but now it is generally used for home time (despite its name). Patek Philippe's Calatrava Pilot Travel Time uses a skeletonized hour hand to indicate a second time zone, but on a 12-hour scale. It has day/night indicators for both local and home time, and a local date hand at 6 o'clock. The secondary hours are easy to change on both watches, thanks to independently adjustable hour hands, so your watch won't lose accuracy when moving time zones.
