The Harry Winston Ocean Two-Time Zone Monochrome watch from this year’s Baselworld collection is a standout example of the brand’s bold approach to design and horological innovation. True to Harry Winston’s signature style, this men’s watch offers a striking blend of modern aesthetics and technical precision.
The 44mm case is made from Zalium, a patented zirconium alloy exclusive to Harry Winston. This material not only ensures exceptional corrosion resistance but also significantly reduces the weight of the case for a more comfortable wearing experience. The satin-polished bezel and titanium crown give the watch a refined, yet robust, appearance, and the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters.
What sets this timepiece apart is its monochromatic dial, coated with a special oxidized platinum layer and hand-finished with a deliberately aged pattern, which symbolizes the fleeting nature of time. The two independent time zone sub-dials are located at 2 o’clock and 9 o’clock, each featuring its own day-night indicator, offering a unique and practical feature for the modern traveler. At 7 o’clock, the dual date display adds an extra touch of complexity, although it does slightly reduce the overall readability of the dial.
One of the standout details is the ninja star-shaped small seconds hand, a signature Harry Winston element, which rotates between the two time zone discs, adding an element of dynamic movement to the design.
Powering this watch is the GP3300 automatic movement, equipped with two mainspring barrels for a more efficient power reserve, ensuring up to 45 hours of operation. The movement is beautifully finished with Geneva stripes, and the rotor is coated in a black DLC diamond-like carbon treatment, with the “HW” monogram hollowed out for a touch of brand signature. Through the sapphire crystal caseback, watch enthusiasts can admire the fine craftsmanship of the movement.
The black rubber strap enhances both the functionality and comfort of the watch, with a pattern that echoes the ninja star motif from the dial, completing the sporty yet luxurious aesthetic.
Limited to 250 pieces, the Harry Winston Ocean Two-Time Zone Monochrome is a rare collector’s piece that combines avant-garde design with impeccable technical performance.
