Carl F. Bucherer has a penchant for bringing high functionality in extremely elegant forms, as we've seen with Manero or ScubaTec. This Patravi TravelTec falls in line with this notion, as it is not just any GMT watch but one with three time zones as well as a chronograph. It comes in a 47mm stainless steel case with both polished and brushed finishes. On the right, the crown and chronograph buttons are placed in a conventional setting, while a patented secondary pusher is positioned at 10 o'clock to adjust the third time zone. Setting different time zones on this TravelTech has been made easier with engravings on the caseback featuring different cities and their deviations from GMT. Although the caseback on this reference is solid, one can still glance at the mechanism through a rectangular window on the caseband beside the 10 o'clock pusher.

This TravelTec has a rather busy dial with three time zones, three sub-dials, and a date window. As with most GMT watches, the local time is displayed at the centre through applied indexes and skeletonised luminous hands. The fixed 24-hour second-time zone scale of small Arabic numerals is located on the outer chapter ring. The third time zone is displayed on a rotatable 24-hour Arabic numeral scale that sits between the central indexes and the outer ring. The third time zone is indicated via a red hand with an inverted triangle at the tip. The sub-dials are arranged in a horizontal configuration - the running seconds counter at three, a 12-hour sub-dial at six, and a 30-minute register at nine. Finally, the date window rests between four and five o'clock.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
