Slightly smaller than other Glycine Airman watches at 42mm, the Glycine Airman 22 also feature dual / multiple timezone / GMT option.
Maybe I do really one to carry on living he three timezone life?
But then which one to get:
GMT Version (4 hands, three timezones)
Purist Version (pure 24h watch, 3 hands, two timezones)
GA Version; special excecution for pilots (4 hands, three timezones, 24h hand arrow-tipped with SL, slender 12h hand with SL)

Urwerk UR-203
Another masterpiece of horological design
Honestly, who can resist such a technological triumph that requires an oil change every three years!
Here's some blurb stolen from their web site:
Dial Side
Revolving Satellite Complication The UR-203 features URWERK’s patented Revolving Satellite Complication with telescopic minutes hands. The Revolving SatelliteComplication displays time using telescopic minutes hands operating through the middle of three orbiting and revolving hours satellites. The telescopic minutes hands precisely adjust their length to follow the three sectors marking the minutes: 0-14, 15-44, 45-60. Extended, they enable the UR-203 to display the time across a large, easy-to-read dial. Retracted, they allow for a very wearable and comfortably sized case.
Back side
The UR-203 is the world’s first watch with the winding rate regulated by fluid dynamics. As long ago as the 18th century, clockmakers were using air friction to regulate the speed of chiming clocks, and their techniques evolved to become the preferred method of regulating the rate of chimes on minute-repeaters. With the UR-203, URWERKhave taken the traditional idea of using air friction and refined it to control the rate of automatic winding. The traditional rotating vanes of the past have been replaced by cutting-edge miniature twin turbines - miniature air compressors - which can be seen spinning on the back of the watch. The UR-203’s twin turbines are coupled with the winding rotor. According to the position of the selector lever, the turbines act as shock absorbers. In normal activity they cushion sharp movements of the rotor. This reduces wear and increases the lifespan of the movement.
Seems almost churlish to mention its approx 46mm size.

Oris Artelier Worldtimer
At 42.5mm the Oris Artelier Worldtimer just sneaks in, and by doing so adds a nice looking dual-time zone watch to the list.
Available with either leather or steel strap you know that the only Oris mutli-time zone watch will look good on your wrist. Or mine.

Glashütte Original Senator Navigator
If you can afford it at $31,900 is rose gold or only $21,000 in steel, the 44mm Glashütte Original Senator Navigator could be for you.
The one above is the Panorama Date, which gives probably the longest name of any watch: "Glashütte Original Senator Navigator Panorama Date"

Oris Hunter - 46mm of aviation lovelyness
At 46mm, the Oris Hunter is the biggest Oris Aviation watch, and commemorates the British Hawker Hunter the Swiss airforce flew for 36 years, from 1958 to 1994.
If you happen to be among the first 1958 customers you also get a replica Hunter ejection seat safety splint.
