One Simple Feature Makes These 3 Watches Perfect for Traveling

You don’t need a fancy GMT complication to get a great travel watch that can easily track two time zones. The rotating bezel often found on dive watches is a “count-up” type meant specifically for diving, but it’s sometimes fitted with 12 hour markers instead. And this type is highly practical for many people: whether you’re traveling or you have international contacts or family, you simply offset the bezel by a fixed number of hours, and voila — instant second time zone tracking. Here are some great watches with 12-hour rotating bezels to check out:
