Notes

The "Master Banker" line, introduced in 1996, is dedicated to the finance world and offers simultaneous readings of 3 independent time zones: Tokyo, London and New York. These time zones are regulated by a single crown. This is an important mechanical innovation as 3 time zone watches have never been adjusted in this way before.
