The model in detail

A traveller needs to change local time quickly as well as see a second zone. On the 5524G-010 the solid hour hand shows local time and the skeletonised hand home time. Each has its own day/night indicator.

Two pushers on the left adjust local time and have a locking system. The date is linked to local time, useful when crossing the date boundary.

The automatic 26-330 S C FUS has 290 parts, a gold rotor and a stated reserve of 35 to 45 hours. The light lacquered dial is paired with a khaki strap.

The white-gold case measures 42 mm across and 10.78 mm thick. Introduced in 2025, this version has 30 m water resistance and a relatively short reserve, both worth considering for travel.
