The 1966 WW.TC is a charming, simple world timer that brings an elegant sensibility to a style that's typically complicated. A far cry from the 2000s WW.TC range that was more sporty, this 49860D-11A761-BK7A says quite boldly that it belongs to the 1966 collection. Rife with signature elements, such as the round case and leaf-like hands on the dial, this reference also carries umpteen features that make it singular in its own right. We can start with the bezel - beautifully wreathed with shimmery diamonds, serving as a perfect prologue to the magnificence of the mother-of-pearl dial.

On the dial, a rotatable disc featuring 23 time zones sits at the perimeter, followed by a 24-hour ring in two tones for day and night indication. The mother-of-pearl centre accommodates diamond hour indexes, stylised Arabic numerals at 12, three, and six, a running-seconds counter at nine, and a power reserve indicator parallel to the four and five o’clock positions.

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.
