In the early days of air travel, flying was an opulent luxury, the adventure of a lifetime. And in those early days of flight, no pilot would fly without a ZULU Time, Dual Time Watch, styled very much like the all new Charles-Hubert Paris ZULU Time model XWA4788. The design is an impeccable reproduction of those early pilot's watches, so necessary when traveling the world. The pilot could track local time and, at the same moment, see the Greenwich Mean Time, called ZULU time, to coordinate all flight activities and record all events in the log book.
The attention to detail here is unsurpassed. Model XWA4788 starts with a magnificent brown metallic IP Stainless Steel Case with an Antique Ivory Dial. The knurled setting crown, the full arabic numeral dial, with minute indicators, also, the old curved lug style, the stitched and distressed leather strap make this a must own collectible.
Yet the technology inside the watch is equally amazing. The Miyota Japanese quartz crystal movement features two 24 hour subdials that operate independently of each other. A third subdial tracks the Day of the Week and a Date Window is at the 4:30 position. The case is all stainless steel and the watch is water resistant and depth tested to 50 meters.
