Round-UpA Match Made In Heaven: Elements Of Time Linked For Eternity

Tachymeters are often featured on the outer edge of the dial or on the bezel, as seen on the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch

The Omega Moonwatch probably the most iconic tachymeter bezel you can find. Seen here is a 2021 Master Chronometer edition

The Zenith El Primero is one of the most well-known chronograph movements. Seen here is the Zenith Defy A384 Revival watch that runs on a modern version of this movement

Here is the Zenith Defy Shadow, another watch from the famous family of chronograph movements

Unlike the Omega Speedmaster, these Zenith chronographs feature the tachymeter scale on the dial itself

The Breitling Premier B01 also features a tachymeter scale on the dial itself, on the outer edge

This Breitling Premier Norton edition also runs on the in-house Breitling calibre B01, which is a COSC-certified chronometer movement and offers a 70-hour power reserve

Probably the most definitive complication for IWC, the perpetual calendar is often seen with a moon phase indicator in their watches, even if they do feature the former by itself in some others

As it turns out, this Big Pilot’s Watch features a dual-hemisphere moon phase display, showing the phases of the moon seen from both, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres

This Parmigiani Toric perpetual calendar also has a dual-hemisphere moon phase

The slate grey dial of this Toric features a retrograde analogue date display, along with apertures for the day and month, as well as one for the leap year indicator

The Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic Perpetual Calendar runs on an in-house Baumatic calibre and offers a five-day power reserve

The Baumtic Perpetual calendar was first introduced with a white dial, and was later released in blue as well—both versions in gold

This watch shows the day and date at nine and three, respectively; the month and leap year at 12 o’clock; while the poetic moon phase sits at six

The ladies on these ‘Nose Art’ watches from the Graham Chronofighter Vintage series may be going solo on their dials, but the date and day go hand-in-hand at nine

Another aviation timepiece, Breitling’s Aviator 8 Curtiss Warhawk chronograph pairs the timekeeping and chronograph with a day at three, but not without a date

The khaki green dial of this chronograph is complemented by a calfskin leather strap in the same hue, just like the date complements the day

This Breitling Superocean runs on the same movement that powers the Warhawk. It’s a dive timepiece, so it comes with a 60-minute dive-timer scale, but also with the day and the date

The COSC-certified chronometer of this watch comes housed in a case water-resistant to 200m

Another dive timer, this one here is the Bremont Supermarine, which comes in blue or black

The date goes solo in the black Supermarine, but the day joins in for the splash of blue

This Frederique Constant Highlife Worldtimer presents all 24 major time zones on the dial. It was first launched in blue and then later released in green

The time at the centre and the time zone at 12 o’clock need to be coordinated, and the rest of zones will become aligned with their correct time on the 24-hour scale

The 24-hour scale is coloured dark and light to approximately show the night-time and daytime hours respectively

The night-time hours are approximately from 6:00pm to 6:00am, while daytime is assumed to be the opposite

Even this Oris Whale Shark Limited Edition features a day-and-night two-tone GMT bezel

The day-and-night hues of the ceramic insert complement the shades of blue and grey on the dial that is textured to look like the skin of the whale shark

The Czapek Place Vendôme features a GMT function at four o’clock on the dial, right opposite the tourbillon cage. In between the two, at six, is the day-and-night display

This TAG Heuer was launched just last month at the LVMH Watch Week 2022. It’s the first modern-day Autavia with a GMT feature, and its bezel is coloured for night and day

The key to making steel and gold work well together is to make sure the metals complement each other, even if they’re not in equal proportions. This Longines Master is a fine example

In steel and 18-karat rose gold, this Longines features a silvery textured dial, with the hands and the brand emblem in a golden hue to complement the case and bracelet

Similarly, the gold on this Carl F. Bucherer Pathos Diva is mirrored in the applied hour markers and hands

The texture of the dial on the Pathos Diva also complements the filigree pattern in gold seen on the inner bezel and casebands of this automatic timepiece

The steel and gold on this Bulgari Serpenti Tubogas is far more balanced, seen in alternating sections of the bracelet. The gold bezel on the steel case features diamonds flanking the dial

The mother-of-pearl really comes alive on this Omega De Ville Prestige Dewdrop timepiece, with the gold-set diamond markers complementing the applied Roman numerals

The automatic chronometer movement with a co-axial escapement comes set in a 32.7mm red gold case, affixed to a red gold bracelet made of stunning dewdrop-shaped links

Here’s a truly resplendent jewelled masterpiece that presents Bulgari’s jewellery-making expertise with splendour

Called Allegra, this quartz timepiece comes in a 36mm 18-karat white gold case, with a mother-of-pearl dial, set with diamond markers and surrounded by diamonds on the bezel

The watch is set with a total of 96 diamonds, two citrines, one amethyst, one peridot, two blue topazes, and two rhodolites. The blue alligator leather strap has a white gold buckle

The Girard-Perregaux Cat’s Eye Sparkle really sparkles with diamonds paved on the central portion of the mother-of-pearl dial and the diamonds on the bezel

And here’s a watch with a black mother-of-pearl dial. This gold Corum Admiral timepiece features gold-set diamond hour markers that complement the stones on the dodecagonal bezel

The Rado Captain Cook goes back to the 1960s. Here’s a modern-day edition in bronze. It comes with a fabric strap as well as a strap in leather

The green dial is complemented by the green on the unidirectional-rotating dive-timer bezel. This watch is water-resistant to 300m

This is the Zenith Pilot’s Type 20 Extra Special in bronze. It presents classic aviation elements—large Arabic numerals, cathedral-style hands, and an oversized, onion-shaped crown

Another standard aviation timepiece, this one is the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date, also with cathedral-style hands, Arabic numerals, a big crown, along with an analogue date function

The aviation theme itself pairs well with the vintage-style appeal of green and bronze. Here’s the IWC Big Pilot’s Watch—a bronze update of the 43mm edition that was launched in 2021

And here’s a contemporary classical timepiece—the Maurice Lacroix Pontos in bronze. And did you notice? It comes with a day display, but not without a date to go with it
