Looking for new watch with a 24 hour dial. I am not finding too many, is that because I am not googling the right words to pull up a watch with a 24 hour dial or are they that scarce?

Any suggestions? Not seeking expensive watch as I don't want my other watches to get jealous... hahaha but something fun and unique.

I have seen the Luminox watch with a 12 hour dial and hands AND an additional 24 hour hand. I have a few watches that have a subdial with 24 hour hand, but am now looking for a 24 hour hand on the center axis of the watch.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Paul

Wow, what took you so long to reply... Just kidding. Thanks for the help. Will continue my research tomorrow. Time to hit the sheets.

You guys have been great here. I appreciate all the comments and friendly welcome I received here. Ordered a watch box and winder from the web yesterday, should come next week. Am getting worried about all the watches sitting in a drawer with the possibility of getting damaged. Will photograph and report on the boxes after they come.

Night.

Take a look at Russian watches for an affordable, hand winder with a true 24-hour mechanism and dial. Best bets are the Aviator and Sturmanskie models. See the link for a whole page full of 24 hour hand crankers priced $200 or so. These are pretty well proven movements also. Trias also makes an inexpensive 24-hour watch. Zeno has a few too, but they are in the $1,000 "range."

Your best bet for an affordable 24 hour watch would definitely be the Russians.:D

I agree with Pax, Poljot Aviator has a very affordable option...

Agree with Pax 100%. If you go German or Swiss the price can be 10 fold.

Don't know price range you are in but Glycine makes the finest, most classic 24 hour dial in their Airman model!

DeBaufre makes great watches and some beautiful GMT's, but I can't find a 24-hour watch among their watches. Do they make one like the Russian models?
