The presentation and form of the dial and hands are a standout feature of the Duo Timezone.
The dial face is a deep blue and in certain light reminds me of the
midnight blue colour used on the IWC Portugieser, (this is no bad
comparison), it is decorated with an intricate white guilloche effect
that draws the eye and to my mind reinforces the quality look of the Duo
Timezone, it is a detailing that sits well with a dress watch.
Running round the outside edge of the dial is a railway track design
which contains hour and minute markers, these are an understated affair,
elegant, small and perfectly readable, hours are marked with roman
numerals with simple track line dividers.
The secondary timezone complication shares the railway track index,
with an inner circle adorned with minute dividers and large roman
numeral hour markers running on its outside edge, resulting in an
easy-to-read secondary time.
The small seconds complication again repeats the use of this index
style insetting a count at 15 second intervals, also present on the dial
is a silver raised Dreyfuss & Co logo displayed above the crisp
white text of the Dreyfuss name and 'Hand Made, Switzerland'.
Sitting slightly above the 6 o'clock is the large date display cut into
the dial and adorned with a silver outline and mid divider, clear bold
black numbers sit on a white background, making the date stylish and
easy to read.
I aesthetically enjoy the date at this position and it adds a better
symmetry in my mind than the traditional 3 o'clock date register.
The hands on the Duo Timezone are a two style affair, beveled lance
hands are used in the watch's primary timezone, they are cut such that
they easily catch the light and almost shimmer at the right angles.
For the Duo's secondary registers feuille (leaf) hands are employed,
adding a level of elegance and contrast to the lance, a real treat and
an added splash of colour is found in the rose gold hands of the
secondary timezone.
