The really unusual part is the integrity of the dial. The pigment on these late 1960s blue dials flakes off early and often. This one is a sensation.

Nice pick-up. Never understood the world time bezel on this model, but it looks cool and this is a sharp example.

You know, now that I look at it closely, you're right. The cities are at the wrong intervals for a standard bezel. It seems to be configures for a 24hour watch. I can't tell if the one in the catalog is the same way, but it sure looks like it - I'll have to dig it out and look.

Right, it's like this:

Not sure how you use it without painful mental math.
