ROCHÉ II

The dial of the Roché seamlessly blends a highly legible layout with a host of intricate details. For example, the mixed baton and Arabic numeral markers are cast from pure white Super-LumiNova, for unparalleled glow in low light conditions. They are mounted onto a glossy midnight blue dial textured with a Clous de Paris guilloché pattern.

The bidirectional rotating bezel is operated via the crown at 10 o’clock, and it’s lumed with Grade X1 Super-Luminova. For 2024, the cities printed onto the bezel have been updated. Chicago replaces Mexico City, Beijing replaces Hong Kong, and lastly, Paris has been replaced by Bienne to mark where the World Timers are produced.

Meanwhile, the central disc on the World Timer dial is printed with a 24-hour scale, with a world map in powder blue at its centre. In conjunction with the outer bezel, this can be used to tell the time anywhere on the planet. Much like a GMT hand, the whole disc rotates once every 24 hours. The last element on the dial is the circular date window at three, with the wheel colour-matched to the dial.

The polished silver handset has also been updated, with more contemporary, blunter alpha-shaped hour and minute hands that are filled with mint green Super-LumiNova. The tip of the seconds hand is shaped like the Farer ‘A’, and lumed in a matching mint green.

This is a watch that will stand out on your travels, day and night.
