: I'm getting close to the selection of my next
: Omega. The second will need to be one with a
: tachymeter function. I was hoping beyond
: hope that one existed in a mid-size form and
: with of all things, a GMT or second time
: zone function.

: I think, think, that this model could pass
: muster.
: Its the Speedmaster Day-date model with the
: 24-hour function. Model 3520.53.00

: I like it for all of the above reasons, plus
: its not too big (38mm).

: However I am unsure if the 24-hour function is
: merely a 24-hour representation of the
: actual time on the watch, or if that little
: dial can be set for a second time zone (I
: hope). If this were the case, it would fit
: the bill.

: Does anyone own this watch? Pros and cons?

: thanks

I almost bought this watch. According to my AD you cannot separately adjust that subdial. As you speculated it simply represents the time of day thus the "day/night" color scheme. I would've bought it if I could've seen one up close but my AD advised this model sells well in Europe and is hard to find in NA. It would've meant a special order "sight unseen" which I wasn't prepared to do...so I bought an SMP Chrono diver.
