Review of the Kobold Soarway Diver

It's a travel watch in the tradition of the Rolex GMT Master, but with a neat twist: It has two buttons that increment or decrement the local time. When you travel, simply press the buttons as required to jump to your destination time zone! Simple to use, hard to make and very functional. However, being a Swiss chronometer of in-house design, the Ulysse Nardin is out of my price range. Imagine my surprise and delight, then, at discovering that well-regarded Swiss brand Oris now has a similar watch, the Oris Atelier Worldtimer.There are two versions, with and without bracelet. The picture shows the version I prefer, on an leather strap. Features of the watch includeSapphire crystals front and back, with interior anti-glare coating and doming on the front for easier visibility. As with all G-Shocks, you get a tremendous amount of functionality: This one works with both Japanese stations, WWVB in the US, Mainflingen in Germany and Rugby in England. There are newer G-Shocks that also receive in China, but 5-band is pretty normal. The display at 6 o'clock shows which signal was last received.If there's no radio reception, it's accurate within 15 seconds per month.Street price is about $120USD, in line with the majority of G-Shocks, representing an excellent value for a nearly indestructible watch. I hope they decide to add Superluminova or Lumibrite, as that'd greatly add to the visibility of the watch at night. As you'd expect with a G-Shock, the watch is comfortable to wear and legendarily durable.
