View the Entire Day on your Wrist

tres_24_plus_watch_layout

The Botta TRES 24 Plus lets you view your whole day on your wrist, the way it should be viewed. Rather than following the archaic method of splitting your day into two 12 hour halves, the Tres 24 takes the logical step in the progression of watches, putting 24 hours of sheer chronometric accuracy under your sleeve.

Designed with clarity, and backed by logic, the TRES 24 comes from Botta, arguably a pioneer in the 24 hour watch movement. Created as a successor to the UNO (a single hand 24 hour watch), and the subsequent Duo. TRES 24 comes with 3 hands and a date window, encased in a chamfered, PVD coated stainless steel body. Designed to portray a certain edginess, the watch face comes with very characteristic hand designs, along with a sporty greyscale + red color combination. Atop the dial sits a double-domed sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coatings on both sides, allowing your 24 hour watch to be read from absolutely any angle, with no hindrance whatsoever.

TRES 24 indulges our obsession with 24 hour watches. One of the more sporty watches across the 24 hour watch spectrum, the Tres 24 comes in many varieties, across black and white colored dials, and full black vs. brushed metal bodies. The watch bodies are bound together by a wide choice of straps, going from the sporty rubber/silicone band, to an interlinked steel band that matches the metal bezel on the watch, to even the classic vegetable tanned leather band that gives the TRES 24 a classic makeover, rendering it perfect for everyday office wear.

On the inside, the TRES 24 is powered by a Swiss-made RONDA 515.24H Quartz movement. Water resistant up to 3ATMs and with a warranty that lasts two years, if you’re looking to take a leap into the 24 hour watch world (and it’s high time you should), the Tres is absolutely where you should begin!

Botta-Design NOVA. The Time-Span Watch – A single-hand watch for forward-thinkers! Klaus Botta, the pioneering maker of single-hand wristwatches, has made a big step towards his notion of reduction. While the classic UNO watch with its hour hand and its special 144-marking dial still allows for making out minutes, the NOVA strives for an even more consistent approach.

  • The watch face comprises two main elements: an hour hand and a 12-hour scale. There are no subscales.
  • The hand slowly moves over the dial, it turns one of the 12 segments into a visual representation of the current hour.
  • Just like an hourglass, the NOVA shows the course of a precisely defined time period—in this case, one hour—rather than the numerous little points in time that meanwhile pass by.

Side Note: Can’t wait to get your hands on one? Shipping for the new NOVA Watch begins on 8th December, if you buy one now … you can avail of a super cool €50.00 Discount (approx $60) upon checkout!

MONDO and DUO 24 World Timer Watches

The award-winning Botta-Design has much to take pride about; talk about 50 awards under their belt (including red dot) and the revolutionary modern one-hand watch design by founder Klaus Botta! As a big fan of horology I am completely mesmerized by complication in a watch and especially features like world time. The MONDO and DUO 24 World Timer Watches are watches for modern everyday life and not just globetrotters like me.

Think about it, if you live in a country like the US, you need to know the three time zones on the tip of you fingers not confuse Eastern Time with CET – Central European time! World Timer Watches eliminate the risk of confusion with just a glance.

Let’s talk about the DUO 24 first, this is the first-ever dual time-zone watch based on the one-hand principle. What this means is that it shows both the local time and the time at one additional time zone, using just one hand in each case. The outlying main display shows the local time, and the 12-hour hand points to the same one-hand scale that has been used in the UNO.

The watch also features a secondary display that can show any second time zone that you fancy. To avoid the confusion surrounding daytime and nighttime, just follow the artificial horizon on the dial; it sets things straight for you. Powered with a RONDA 515.24H Swiss Made movement, you can team this beautiful watch with a vegetable tanned leather strap, steel link or rubber strap.

The MONDO features a more classic design and hosts a central 12-hour display using three hands. In this watch only the outlying 24-hour display is based on the one-hand principle. For the daytime distinctions, an artificial horizon divides the 24-hour ring to reflect the same. The positioning of the 24-hour display at the outermost edge of the dial gives the scale maximum resolution and makes it very easy to read.

If you were to ask me what makes both these watches stand apart from the rest, then it has to be the feature where the hands are set completely independently from each other, allowing the you to choose half and quarter-hour time zone offsets. It’s a rare feature to find among dual time zone watches, so this is a genuine advantage offered by Botta-Design.

Impressed! So much so that it’s worth taking advantage of the 10% Discount that Botta-Design is offering to our YD Readers!
